Claims5
A pump assembly for use with an inflatable product, the pump assembly comprising:
- a pump housing defining a pump housing chamber, the pump housing comprising an upper casing and a lower casing, the lower casing defining a first vent;
- a rotary assembly rotatably mounted within the upper casing, an inner wall of the rotary assembly comprising at least two position stoppers, wherein a first position stopper corresponds with a first configuration of the pump assembly and a second position stopper corresponds with a second configuration of the pump assembly;
- a pump body disposed in the pump housing chamber and coupled to the control panel;
- a pump cover disposed in the pump housing chamber, the pump cover coupled to the pump body, wherein the pump cover cooperates with the pump body to form an impeller chamber and comprises an air inlet and an air outlet in communication with the impeller chamber, the pump cover further comprising a flange, wherein a switch is mounted to the flange to selectively cooperate with the first position stopper and the third position stopper of the rotary assembly;
- an impeller disposed within the impeller chamber;
- a motor disposed within the pump housing and operable to operate the impeller, the impeller configured to direct air from the air inlet to the air outlet of the pump cover;
- and
- a stationary disc disposed between the pump cover and the first vent of the lower casing, the disc comprising a second vent and a third vent, wherein the second vent is in communication with the first vent of the pump housing and in selective communication with the air inlet and the air outlet of the pump cover and the third vent is in selective communication with the other of the air inlet and the air outlet of the pump cover.
