Inflatable product provided with electric air pump
First Claim
1. An inflatable product, including:
- a first chamber;
an air pump;
a first valve through which the air pump inflates and deflates the first chamber;
a first switch structure, connected to the first valve, wherein the first valve is mechanically opened by the first switch structure;
a second chamber;
a second valve through which the air pump inflates and deflates the second chamber;
a second switch structure, connected to the second valve, wherein the second valve is mechanically opened by the second switch structure;
a first pair of electrodes and a second pair of electrodes, the air pump operating in a first direction for inflating air through the first or second valve when the first pair of electrodes contact each other, the air pump operating in a second reverse direction opposite to the first direction for deflating air through the first or second valve when the second pair of electrodes contacts each other,wherein the first switch structure and the second switch structure operate the pump by controlling the first pair of electrodes and the second pair of electrodes.

Abstract
An inflatable product includes a pack having a first vent with a first valve, a second vent with a second valve, a third vent in communication with the ambient, a first chamber in communication with the first vent, a second chamber in communication with the second vent, and an air pump pumping air into and out of the pack through the third vent when activated in a first and second direction. A first switch structure is movable between first and second orientations. The first orientation opens the first valve and activates the air pump in the first direction to inflate the first chamber. The second orientation closes the first valve. A second switch structure is movable between third and fourth orientations. The third orientation opens the second valve and activates the air pump in the second direction to deflate the second chamber. The fourth orientation closes the second valve.
