- an inflatable chamber;
- and
- a pump apparatus, comprising:
- an air pump providing suction at an air intake;
- a first hole and a second hole, each in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber;
- a first pathway arranged to cause air to be conveyed in sequence from outside the inflatable chamber through the air intake to the first hole to inside the inflatable chamber when the inflatable chamber is being inflated;
- and
- a second pathway arranged to cause air to be conveyed in sequence from inside the inflatable chamber through the second hole to the air intake to outside the inflatable chamber when the inflatable chamber is being deflated;
- wherein the first hole is open and the second hole is closed when the inflatable chamber is being inflated.
