ABSTRACT:
An eye wash station is provided which includes a pivotal basin to which is mounted a spray nozzle which is actuated when the basin is pivoted from a vertical to a horizontal position. In one embodiment, an independent eye wash feed tank is mounted above the top of the basin in its upright position with a conduit between the feed tank and the nozzle. In this manner, the spray is provided at a substantial continuous high pressure. Preferably, an eye wash collection tank is mounted below the basin to collect the liquid during operation. Furthermore, the basin cooperates with a vertical base member to provide a substantial enclosure for the basin when unactuated but to permit spraying when the basin is pivoted to a horizontal position.
In another embodiment, the feed tank also is disposed within a normally enclosed basin housing formed by the base member and the basin in an upright position.
