  • Patent number: 5320615
    Abstract: A portable eyeflushing device is disclosed having bladders which store an eyeflushing fluid. The bladders are attached to a mask that may be easily placed on a user so as to cover or enclose the user's eyes. A strap on the mask attaches the device to the user's head such that it is retained in position without the necessity of holding it in position. The bladders have tear strips on a portion extending internally of the mask which are connected to pull cords extending to the exterior of the mask and which may be manually grasped and pulled to tear the strips away from the bladder. This opens the bladders and allows the eyeflushing fluid to be dispensed from the bladders into the interior of the mask and into the user's eye. A nose piece on the interior of the mask prevents eyeflushing fluid on one side of the mask from passing to the other side of the mask and thereby prevents contamination of the user's other eye. A pair of digit covers extend outwardly from the sides of the mask.
