  • Publication number: 20140266716
    Abstract: A system and eyewash station having an automatic expiration warning system is disclosed. The station includes a base portion having a cradle configured to hold an eyewash container. The eyewash container has an expiration date thereon. A sensor is configured to detect whether an eyewash container is in the cradle. An indicator is on the body portion. A control module is connected to the sensor, and configured to query the expiration date of the eyewash container when the sensor detects an eyewash container is placed in the cradle. The control module is further configured to compare the current date to the expiration date read from the eyewash container, and to activate the indicator at a predetermined time calculated from the expiration date of the eyewash container. The data from eyewash containers may be transmitted to a computer server to track all expiration dates and provide reminders to change expiring containers.

  • Patent number: 8714466
    Abstract: A high pressure monitor includes an outlet body with a transverse passage, which extends through the body to form two inlets of the outlet body, and a second passage, which is in communication with the transverse passage and extends through the outlet body to form an outlet. The monitor further includes first and second bodies, with the outlet body mounted between the first and second bodies. Each of the first and second bodies has a transverse passage, which are in fluid communication with the inlets of the outlet body. A first swivel joint is provided between the outlet body and the first body. A second swivel joint is provided between the outlet body and the second body. Further, each of the swivel joints comprises a pressure balanced hydraulic fitting with seals and bearings, wherein the seals and bearings are oriented to reduce the axial pressure on the bearings from fluid flowing through the monitor.

  • Publication number: 20080172787
    Abstract: A timer and alert module for an emergency eyewash station is disclosed. The module includes a housing; a control circuit having a timing cycle contained within the housing; a speaker electrically connected to the control circuit; a switch configured and arranged to disable the control circuit; and a sensor configured and arranged to trigger the control circuit to start the timing cycle. The control circuit selectively activates the speaker periodically during the timing cycle.

  • Patent number: 7243864
    Abstract: A radio controlled liquid monitor, capable of rotation about a vertical axis through an infinite arc is disclosed. A rotatable body is rotatably mounted onto a base element for rotation about a vertical axis, and a discharge elbow is rotatably mounted on the rotatable body for rotation about a horizontal axis. A horizontal drive unit and a vertical drive unit operate on gears on the rotatable body and the elbow, to enable the rotatable body to rotate about a vertical axis, and the discharge elbow to rotate about a horizontal axis. A control module is attached to the rotatable body which receives radio control commands from an operator via a portable transmitter apparatus or a fixed transmitter apparatus. The control module and drive unit receive electrical power and control signals through a rotating connector positioned within the base element and rotatable body so that the control module and drive units receive electrical power and control signals regardless of the rotational position of the rotatable body.
