Portable emergency unit

Abstract

A portable emergency unit comprises an eyewash and shower station coupled to a chassis. A water tank and a pump are coupled to the chassis and are in fluid communication with the eyewash and shower station so that the pump is operable to supply water from the water tank to the eyewash and shower station when the eyewash and shower station is activated. A temperature control system is also coupled to the chassis and is in fluid communication with the water tank. The temperature control system is operable to maintain the temperature of water stored in the water tank within a predetermined range.

         4 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 2 , wherein said power supply is a battery. 
     
     
         5 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of wheels coupled to said chassis. 
     
     
         6 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 1 , further comprising a drainage device coupled to said chassis proximate to said eyewash and shower station. 
     
     
         7 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 1 , further comprising a control unit coupled to said chassis and operable to control the operation of said pump and said temperature control system. 
     
     
         8 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 7 , further comprising a sensor coupled to said eyewash and shower, wherein said sensor provides a signal to said control unit that initiates operation of said pump when said eyewash and shower station is activated. 
     
     
         9 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 7 , further comprising a sensor coupled to said water tank, wherein said sensor provides a signal to said control unit that initiates operation of said temperature control unit when the temperature of water within said water tank is outside the predetermined range. 
     
     
         10 . A portable emergency unit comprising:
 a chassis;   an eyewash and shower station coupled to said chassis;   a water tank coupled to said chassis and in fluid communication with said eyewash and shower station;   a pump coupled to said chassis and in fluid communication with said water tank and said eyewash and shower station;   a temperature control system coupled to said chassis and in fluid communication with said water tank; and   a control unit coupled to said chassis and operable to control said pump and said temperature control system.   
     
     
         11 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 10 , further comprising a sensor coupled to said eyewash and shower station and operable to send an activation signal to said control unit that initiates operation of said pump when said eyewash and shower station is activated. 
     
     
         12 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 10 , further comprising a sensor coupled to said water tank and operable to send a signal to said control unit that initiates operation of said temperature control unit when the temperature of water within said water tank is outside a predetermined range. 
     
     
         13 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 10 , further comprising a power supply coupled to said pump, said temperature control system, and said control unit. 
     
     
         14 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 13 , wherein said power supply is a generator that is activated when said eyewash and shower station is activated. 
     
     
         15 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 13 , wherein said power supply is a battery. 
     
     
         16 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 10 , further comprising a plurality of wheels coupled to said chassis. 
     
     
         17 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 10 , further comprising a drainage device coupled to said chassis proximate to said eyewash and shower station. 
     
     
         18 . A portable emergency unit comprising:
 a chassis;   an eyewash and shower station coupled to said chassis;   a water tank coupled to said chassis and in fluid communication with said eyewash and shower station;   a pump coupled to said chassis and in fluid communication with said water tank and said eyewash and shower station;   a temperature control system coupled to said chassis and in fluid communication with said water tank;   a control unit coupled to said chassis and operable to control said pump and said temperature control system;   an activation sensor coupled to said eyewash and shower station and operable to send an activation signal to said control unit that initiates operation of said pump when said eyewash and shower station is activated; and   a temperature sensor coupled to said water tank and operable to send a temperature signal to said control unit that initiates operation of said temperature control unit when the temperature of water within said water tank is outside a predetermined range.   
     
     
         19 . The portable emergency unit of  claim 18 , further comprising a power supply coupled to said pump, said temperature control system, and said control unit.
