Abstract: An apparatus and method for remote monitoring and data capture in an emergency washing apparatus adapted for generating a controlled spray or jet of water directed at a user for washing therewith. A washing unit includes a water inlet and one or more water outlets arranged for forming a spray or jet of water received from the water inlet. One or more sensors is configured to sense one or more properties of the water received at the water inlet selected from: a water flow rate, a water pressure, a water temperature, a water pH level, a bacteria content. The one or more sensors are configured to generate a representative measurement signal indicating a value of the one or more sensed properties of the water, and to transmit the measurement signal for reception locally at, or remotely from, the washing unit.

Abstract: A collapsible shelter frame including members articulated by pivot means and having a pair of opposed pivot members, such as plates, joined at a common axle about which a surface of a first pivot member of the pair is slidingly rotatable over a surface of a second pivot member of the pair in parallel opposition thereto.

Abstract: A collapsible shelter frame (1) including members (2, 5, 7, 8) articulated by pivot means (17, 18, 19) comprising a pair of opposed pivot members, such as plates, joined at a common axle about which a surface of a first pivot member of the pair is slidingly rotatable over a surface of a second pivot member of the pair in parallel opposition thereto.

Abstract: A spray device that includes a swirl atomizer and a source of pressurized liquid. The atomizer includes a housing that defines a tubular chamber having a side wall, a first end wall, and a second end wall that opposes the first end wall. The atomizer further includes a bleed outlet channel in the second end wall that is configured to bleed an excess liquid from the atomizer, and a spray outlet channel in the first end wall. The spray outlet channel is narrower than the bleed outlet channel. The side wall includes a first face and a second face that opposes the first face. A length of the chamber between the first end wall and the second end wall is at least twice a width of the chamber between the first face and the second face of the side wall.
