Apparatus and methods for integrated emergency wash systems. Various embodiments include thermostatically controlled mixing valves arranged so as to permit load carrying by the body of the valve. Further, the integrated wash systems are especially suited for use in laboratories and manufacturing settings in which available space is at a premium.

A shower head, illustratively for a sanitary shower, including a shower head housing, a fluid inlet into the shower head housing, a shower jet outlet out of the shower head housing, a fluid duct within the shower head housing from the fluid inlet to the shower jet outlet, and an overpressure valve pressure-coupled to the fluid duct, including a movable valve body which, in case of an overpressure in the fluid duct, moves from a normal position to an overpressure position. The valve body is illustratively configured to be self-retaining in the overpressure position and returnable to the normal position by user operation, and/or the valve body acts position-dependent on a passage cross-section of the fluid duct, wherein the valve body reduces the passage cross-section in the overpressure position relative to the normal position.

A multiple stage discharge system for a gravity-fed emergency shower system is provided herein. The multiple stage discharge system includes a drain; a first opening defined by the drain; a second opening defined by the drain; and a valve mechanism coupled to the second opening to permit fluid in a fluid tank of the gravity-fed emergency shower system to flow at least partly through the drain via the second opening in response to a fluid level in the fluid tank decreasing to at or below a threshold fluid level.

Swivel shower including a shower body with a base body, a swivel body including a shower outlet and mounted for swivel movement relative to the base body between a rest position and an operating position, a shower fluid inlet and a fluid flow path from the shower fluid inlet to the shower outlet. A shut-off valve is arranged within the shower body in the fluid flow path between the shower fluid inlet and the shower outlet and blocks the fluid flow path as a function of a swivel position of the swivel body, wherein the fluid flow path is completely blocked in the rest position of the swivel body and is completely unblocked in the operating position of the swivel body.

A powered water dispenser is plugged into a vehicle or uses a rechargeable battery. The powered water dispenser is connected to a pump and a portable water source. The powered water dispenser may use a prepackaged water container that contains sterilized, distilled or potable water. Additionally, the transparent water container may use an LED light to view water level in the dark. There may also be notches that indicate water level. Also included may be a heating element to warm the water prior to use.

An apparatus for securing a collapsible water dam is an end-cap with a semi-cylindrical housing. The end-cap further includes a side flange coupled to each side of the housing at the bottom periphery of the outside wall of housing. The end-cap further includes a barrier wall inside the housing that creates a secure chamber for housing a collapsible water dam. The end-cap further includes a wall flange at the distal end of the housing. The wall flange couples to and joins both side flanges in a configuration that provides a tight fit with the end wall of a shower.

A cleaning device that includes a washing frame having one or more spray arms having one or more spray apertures for discharging a liquid in one of a plurality of directions towards a target entity. At least one portion of the washing frame is coupled to a vehicle. One or more spray nozzles may be coupled to the one or more spray apertures. The one or more spray nozzles may be selectively adjusted toward the target entity.

A sit-down bathing configuration is disclosed. The sit-down bathing configuration is easy to transport users into, is safer and aligns well with the bathing device. The sit-down bathing configuration comprises: a seated shower device with an open area under its sitting surface, and a mobile bathing chair; wherein the seat of said mobile bathing chair can be fitted above the sitting surface of the seated shower device and the mobile bathing chair can be wheeled in and out of the shower device.

The disclosure relates to a device that saves water, energy, and money and may record the savings with a software analytics dashboard. The device allows cold water to flow out when the shower is first turned on and slows or shuts water flow once the water is heated and the shower is unoccupied. After the presence of the user is detected, the shower flow may resume.
