Pumphead with trigger handle

1. A pumphead comprising:

a pumphead housing having a first end defining an aperture about a first axis, the aperture sized and shaped to receive a valve head therein;

a handle housing defining an air passage in fluid connection with the aperture and an air pump about a second axis configured at an angle to the first axis that is not orthogonal to the first axis;

a lock arm comprising

a first lock arm end pivotally coupled to the pumphead housing at a second end of the pumphead housing opposite the aperture; and

a second lock arm end disposed proximate to the handle housing and proximate to the first end of the pumphead housing, wherein

pivoting the lock arm away from the handle housing to a first position unlocks the pumphead housing from the valve head; and

pivoting the lock arm toward the handle housing to a second position locks the pumphead housing around a valve head when the valve head is received in the aperture.

2. The pumphead of claim 1 wherein the lock arm comprises an opening between the first lock arm end and the second lock arm end configured around the handle housing.

3. The pumphead of claim 1 comprising an internal mechanism configured to lock onto different valve heads.

4. The pumphead of claim 1 , wherein the valve head is a Schrader-type air valve or a Presta-type air valve.

5. A pump comprising a pumphead comprising

a pumphead housing having a first end defining an aperture about a first axis, the aperture sized and shaped to receive a valve head therein;

a handle housing defining an air passage in fluid connection with the aperture and an air pump about a second axis configured at an angle to the first axis that is not orthogonal to the first axis;

a lock arm comprising

a first lock arm end pivotally coupled to the pumphead housing at a second end of the pumphead housing opposite the aperture; and

a second lock arm end disposed proximate to the handle housing and proximate to the first end of the pumphead housing, wherein

pivoting the lock arm away from the handle housing to a first position unlocks the pumphead housing from the valve head; and

pivoting the lock arm toward the handle housing to a second position locks the pumphead housing around a valve head when the valve head is received in the aperture.

6. The pump of claim 5 , wherein the valve head is a Schrader-type air valve or a Presta-type air valve.

7. The pump of claim 5 comprising a reciprocating pump in fluid communication with the pumphead.

8. The pump of claim 5 comprising a floor pump, hand pump, foot pump frame pump, mini-pump or electrically powered pump.

9. The pump of claim 5 comprising a hose in fluid communication with the pumphead and a pump mechanism in the pump.

10. The pump of claim 5 wherein the handle housing is integrated into an outer cylinder of the pump.

11. The pumphead of claim 1 wherein the angle between the first axis and the second axis provides a grip angle from 10 to 35 degrees.

12. The pump of claim 5 wherein the angle between the first axis and the second axis provides a grip angle from 10 to 35 degrees.

13. A pumphead comprising:

a pumphead housing having a first end defining an aperture about a first axis, the aperture sized and shaped to receive a valve head therein;

a handle housing defining an air passage in fluid connection with the aperture and an air pump about a second axis configured at an angle to the first axis;

a lock arm comprising

a first lock arm end pivotally coupled to the pumphead housing at a second end of the pumphead housing opposite the aperture; and

a second lock arm end disposed proximate to the handle housing and proximate to the first end of the pumphead housing, wherein the lock arm comprises an opening between the first lock arm end and the second lock arm end configured around the handle housing,

wherein

pivoting the lock arm away from the handle housing to a first position unlocks the pumphead housing from the valve head; and

pivoting the lock arm toward the handle housing to a second position locks the pumphead housing around a valve head when the valve head is received in the aperture.

14. The pumphead of claim 11 wherein the handle housing about the second axis is configured at an angle to the first axis to provide a grip angle from 10 to 35°.

15. The pumphead of claim 11 comprising an internal mechanism configured to lock onto different valve heads.

16. The pumphead of claim 11 , wherein the valve head is a Schrader-type air valve or a Presta-type air valve.

17. The pumphead of claim 11 comprising a reciprocating pump in fluid communication with the pumphead.

18. The pumphead of claim 15 , wherein the valve head is a Schrader-type air valve or a Presta-type air valve.

19. The pumphead of claim 15 comprising a floor pump, hand pump, foot pump frame pump, mini-pump or electrically powered pump.

20. The pumphead of claim 15 comprising a hose in fluid communication with the pumphead and a pump mechanism in the pump.

21. The pumphead of claim 15 wherein the handle housing is integrated into an outer cylinder of the pump.

22. A pump comprising a pumphead comprising

a pumphead housing having a first end defining an aperture about a first axis, the aperture sized and shaped to receive a valve head therein;

a handle housing integrated into an outer cylinder of the pump disposed about a second axis configured at an angle to the first axis and defining an air passage in fluid connection with the aperture;

a lock arm comprising

a first lock arm end pivotally coupled to the pumphead housing at a second end of the pumphead housing opposite the aperture; and

a second lock arm end disposed proximate to the handle housing and proximate to the first end of the pumphead housing, wherein

pivoting the lock arm away from the handle housing to a first position unlocks the pumphead housing from the valve head; and

pivoting the lock arm toward the handle housing to a second position locks the pumphead housing around a valve head when the valve head is received in the aperture.
