Claim 6

An eye wash station as in claim 3 wherein said second end extends over the top of said housing and is provided with a upstanding pushing surface.

Claim 7

An eye wash station as in claim 3 wherein such second end includes a substantially horizontal plate member disposed over said spout portion to provide a dust cover for said open spout.

Claim 8

A self-contained eye wash station comprising: a. a housing having an axial slot formed through the wall thereof and an open end; b. a removable cover for said open end, said cover having a central opening; c. a collar of resilient material upstanding about said central opening to form an eye cup; d. a collapsible container confined in said housing for containing an eye wash liquid, said container having a spout portion extending through said central opening and into said eye cup; e. bias means between said container and the bottom of said housing exerting a force on said container to collapse the same towards the top of said housing for expressing the liquid contents of said container through said spout, said bias means including a flange extending through said slot; and f. manual release means engaged against said flange restraining said bias means, the operation of said release means causing disengagement with said flange and allowing said bias means to collapse said container and force the eye wash liquid therefrom.
