A system for use with an inflatable product, the system comprising:
- a fixing ring comprising a fixing ring seat and a fixing ring body, the fixing ring body fixedly coupled to the inflatable product, and at least one engagement groove disposed on an upper surface of the fixing ring body;
- and
- a pump assembly comprising a pump housing forming a pump housing chamber, the pump housing defining a first vent and an opening, and at least one pump engagement tab extending outwardly from a sidewall of an upper portion of the pump housing, the pump engagement tab configured to selectively engage the at least one engagement groove of the fixing ring so that when assembled, a majority of the pump assembly passes through the fixing ring and extends into the inflatable body.
A pump assembly for use with an inflatable product, the system comprising:
- a pump housing forming a pump housing chamber, the pump housing defining a first vent comprising a first fixing ring;
- a one-way valve disposed within the first vent, the one-way valve comprising a valve plate movably coupled to the first fixing ring, a valve rod extending upward from the valve plate, and a flange disposed on the valve rod opposite of the valve plate, a spring disposed on the valve rod between the valve plate and the flange;
- a disc disposed within the pump housing chamber above the first vent of the pump housing, the disc comprising a second vent and a third vent, the second vent comprising a fixing ring and in communication with the first vent;
- and
- an ejector rod comprising a connecting rod coupled to the fixing ring and movably mounted within the first vent, the ejector rod further comprising at least two side arms and a head mounted to the connecting rod;
- wherein the ejector rod is configured to selectively cooperate with the one-way valve to open the one-way valve.
