INTEGRAL EYEWASH AND FAUCET

摘要

An integrated columnar structure is connected to hot and cold water supplies. On the structure is separately mounted on eyewash and faucet. In an alternative embodiment a water bubbler can be substituted for the eyewash. Water passageways within the columnar structure separately supply the appropriate temperature water to the faucet and eyewash/bubbler. Valving mounted on the columnar structure, preferably with an angle oriented at an acute angle to the axis of the column, controls the temperature of water supplied to the faucet. Cold, or slightly tempered, water is supplied to the eyewash.

主权项

1. A multi-component water dispenser and faucet fixture for discharging water from multiple outlets, comprising:
a vertically stacked columnar fixture comprising:
(a) a first component comprising a base fixedly mounted to a surface and including at least one hot water supply conduit and multiple cold water supply conduits extending through an interior of the base, wherein the multiple cold water supply conduits comprise a first cold water supply conduit and a second cold water supply conduit,(b) a second component fixedly attached to and in vertical alignment above the first component including internal conduits therethrough fluidly connected to the water supply conduits in the first component, wherein the internal conduits comprise:(i) an internal hot water conduit fluidly connected to the at least one hot water supply conduit in the first component;(ii) a first internal cold water conduit fluidly connected to the first cold water supply conduit in the first component; and(iii) a second internal cold water conduit fluidly connected to the second cold water supply conduit in the first component, andwherein valves controlling flow through the first internal cold water conduit and the internal hot water conduit extend from a periphery of the second component, and(c) a third component fixedly attached to and in vertical alignment above the second component, with the third component having both a lower faucet and an upper water dispenser mounted thereon and having passageways therein connecting: (i) the internal hot water conduit and the first internal cold water conduit in the second component to the lower faucet; and (ii) the second internal cold water conduit in the second component to the upper water dispenser, wherein separate actuators on the upper water dispenser and lower faucet are used to initiate flow of cold water through the upper water dispenser and flow of water through the lower faucet at a temperature selected by actuation of the valves on the second component.
