Title: Portable emergency eye wash fountain

Abstract: A portable molded plastic housing contains a reservoir of wash liquid such as water spaced above a basin having two opposed liquid spray nozzles. The nozzles are normally capped by an elastic cap over each, the two caps being joined by a strap by which fast and simultaneous removal of the caps is accomplished upon emergency need. The reservoir feeds solely by gravity to the nozzles upon removal of the caps. Liquid within the reservoir attains room temperature to improve user comfort and is free from contamination by pipe scale, yet is instantly available at a work station to give several minutes of eye-flushing spray.
