Abstract: A pump system features a power adapter and a pump having a signal processor. The power adapter includes voltage settings that respond to a voltage setting by a user and provide a selected voltage. The signal processor receives signaling containing information about the selected voltage supplied to a motor to run the pump, and also containing information about whether a current draw of the pump is lower than a predetermined low current level or is higher than a predetermined high current level; and determines whether to shut off the pump after a predetermined time, based on the signaling received.

Abstract: A pump features a motor, a pump head (PH) and a locking pin (LP) that are uniquely coupled together. The motor has a front end bell (FEB) with a FEB coupling portion configured with twist lock style (TLS) connections with locking portions, and an outer surface with a detent. The PH has a PH portion with a PH coupling portion configured with corresponding TLS connections with corresponding locking portions, each having a locking stop, the PH portion has an outer surface having a threaded orifice. The LP has a threaded portion and an end portion, threads into the threaded orifice and engages the detent after assembly of the motor and PH. Each corresponding TLS connection couples to a respective TLS connection when the FEB coupling portion and the PH coupling portion is pushed together. Each locking portion engages a respective corresponding locking portion when the FEB coupling portion, and the PH coupling portion is twisted together in relation to one another about the longitudinal axis of the pump. Each locking stop abuts against a respective locking portion to stop the FEB coupling portion and the PH coupling portion from twisting together, so the detent and the threaded orifice are aligned to receive the LP, and the motor and pump head are locked together and cannot be pulled apart.

A gas control system includes a signal processor that receives the signaling, and provides corresponding signaling containing information about when to provide or release the gas.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for turning off a pump. In operation, when the device is activated there is vacuum pressure in a syrup chamber. A diaphragm acting in response to the vacuum causes a piston assembly in the syrup chamber to move in the one direction (e.g. right), thus compressing a W-shaped spring in the air chamber. As the piston assembly moves, a spring holder of the W-shaped spring also moves to the one direction. As the W-shaped spring is compressed over and passed the most compressed position, the W-shaped spring moves a valve assembly in the air chamber to an opposite direction (e.g. left) and blocks a hole in a spool that otherwise allows air to pass through the air chamber to activate the pump. When the air is stopped, this turns off the pump.
