Abstract

Claims (41)

1 . A system for use with an inflatable product, the system comprising:

a pump assembly, the pump assembly further comprising:

a pump housing forming a pump housing chamber, the pump housing defining a first vent in communication with the inflatable product;

a control panel rotatably coupled to the pump housing, the control panel comprising a second vent in communication with the surrounding environment and the pump housing chamber;

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;

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 disc disposed between the pump cover and the first vent of the pump housing, the disc comprising a third vent and a fourth vent, wherein at least one of:

the third 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 communication with the air inlet of the pump cover and in selective communication with the first vent of the pump housing; and

a mounting assembly configured to selectively receive and couple to the pump assembly, the mounting assembly fixedly coupled to the inflatable product.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting assembly comprises a body defining a second chamber accessible by a second chamber opening, the second chamber comprising a fifth vent in communication with the inflatable product, a check valve positioned within the fifth vent.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the fifth vent is configured to selectively receive a valve plug.

4 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising a cover coupled to the body and configured to selectively cover the second chamber opening.

5 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the second chamber is sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of a power cord, the power cord operably coupled to the motor.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting assembly comprises a fixing ring fixedly coupled to the inflatable product.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the control panel, the pump body, the pump cover, and the disc are synchronically rotated to selectively place the pump assembly in an inflation configuration, a deflation configuration, or an off configuration.

8 . A system for use with an inflatable product, the system comprising:

a pump assembly comprising a pump housing forming a pump housing chamber, the pump housing defining a first vent; and

a mounting assembly coupled to the inflatable product, the mounting assembly comprising a fixing ring fixedly coupled to the inflatable product and a body coupled to the fixing ring, the body defining a pump assembly coupling portion and a second chamber, wherein:

the pump assembly coupling portion comprises a hollowed ring structure configured to detachably couple with the pump housing of the pump assembly; and

the body defines a second vent positioned at a bottom surface of the second chamber, wherein a check valve is disposed within the second vent, and wherein the second vent is configured to be in fluid communication with the inflatable product separate from the first vent.

9 . The system of claim 8 , the mounting assembly further comprising a cover detachably coupled to an opening of the second chamber to provide selective access to the second chamber.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the pump assembly further comprises:

a control panel rotatably coupled to the pump housing, the control panel comprising a third vent in communication with the surrounding environment and the pump housing chamber;

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 a first air inlet and a first air outlet in communication with the impeller chamber;

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 selection disc disposed between the first vent of the pump housing and the pump cover, the selection disc comprising a second air inlet in communication with the first air inlet of the pump cover and a second air outlet in communication with the first air outlet of the pump cover, wherein the second air inlet and the second air outlet are in selective communication with the first vent of the pump housing.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the pump body comprises a flange, a switch pedestal fixedly coupled to the flange by a spring pin, and a switch coupled to the switch pedestal.

12 . The system of claim 10 , further comprising a knob disposed on the control panel, wherein the third vent is positioned within the knob.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein an inner wall of the pump assembly coupling portion of the body of the mounting assembly comprises a threaded spiral configured to cooperate with a threaded portion of an outer surface of the pump housing.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein an inner wall of the pump assembly coupling portion of the body of the mounting assembly defines at least one limit groove, the at least one limit groove configured to detachably couple to a tab disposed on an outer surface of the pump housing.

15 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the second chamber is sized and shaped to selectively receive at least a portion of a power cord, the power cord operably coupled to the pump assembly.

16 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the pump assembly further comprises:

a control panel rotatably coupled to the pump housing, the control panel comprising a third vent in communication with the surrounding environment and the pump housing chamber.

17 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the pump assembly further comprises:

a pump body rotatably disposed in the pump housing chamber.

18 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising a valve plug removably received in the second vent.
