Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) has logic and timing circuits that are coupled to discrete circuitry to provide protection and indications whenever an AC adapter that is faulty or has improper voltage levels or polarity are plugged into a system. In particular, the IC device provides over-voltage, under-voltage, and reversed-polarity protections to an electronic system to keep the electronic system from being damaged by an alternating current (AC) adapter having an improper voltage range or voltage polarity. It also provides a protection that prevents an adapter from powering a host system that has a short-circuit fault.
Abstract:
An air nozzle and relief valve arrangement for use in a vertical tire pump is disclosed to include a lever-operated air nozzle adapted to guide pumped air into the inflatable body (tire), and a button-controlled relief valve installed in the lever-operated air nozzle and protected below the lever of the lever-operated air nozzle against outside dust for discharging excessive air pressure from the inflatable body (tire) when necessary.

Abstract:
An easily operable telescopic pump includes a first cylinder, a second cylinder, a grip and a nozzle. The second cylinder is inserted in the first cylinder. The grip is communicated with the second cylinder. The nozzle is communicated with the grip. A pipe extends through the grip and includes an end inserted in the second cylinder and an opposite end connected with the nozzle.
Abstract:
A foldable pump includes a cylinder, a first connector in communication with the cylinder, a second connector pivotally connected and communicated with the first connector, a tube in communication with the second connector and a nozzle in communication with the tube. The first connector may include a first tubular portion and a second tubular portion extending perpendicularly from and being in communication with the first tubular portion. The second connector may include a first tubular portion and a second tubular portion extending perpendicularly from and being in communication with the first tubular portion. The second tubular portion of the first connector is mounted on the cylinder. The first tubular portion of the first connector is pivotally connected and communicated with the first tubular portion of the second connector. The second tubular portion of the second connector is in communication with the tube.
Abstract:
A manual air pump includes a cylinder defining a chamber therein. A piston rod includes a handle mounted to a first end thereof and a piston mounted to a second end thereof, the piston being slidably received in the chamber of the cylinder. An adaptor includes a first end and a second end that is communicated with the first end. The first end of the adaptor is communicated with the chamber of the cylinder. A pressure gauge includes a tubular plug formed thereon. The second end of the adaptor is mounted around the tubular plug such that air in the chamber of the cylinder is flowable to the pressure gauge via the second end of the adaptor. A hose includes a first end for inflation and a second end for sealingly receiving the tubular plug of the pressure gauge such that air in the chamber of the cylinder is flowable to the first end of the hose for inflation.
Abstract:
A manual air pump includes a cylinder having a first chamber and a head provided to the second end of the cylinder. The head includes an outlet passage communicated with the first chamber for supplying air to an object to be inflated. A first piston rod has a first end with a first piston slidably received in the first chamber. The first piston separates the first chamber into a first chamber section adjacent to the head and a second chamber section distal to the head. The first piston rod defines a second chamber therein. A second piston rod has a first end with a second piston slidably received in the second chamber. The second piston separates the second chamber into a third chamber section adjacent to the first piston and a fourth chamber section distal to the first piston. A handle is secured to the second end of the second piston rod to move therewith. Reciprocating movement of the handle causes high volume/low pressure inflation when the handle is engaged with the first piston rod to allow joint sliding movement of the first piston rod and the second piston rod. Reciprocating movement of the handle causes low volume/high pressure inflation when the handle is disengaged from the first piston rod and the first piston rod is retained in the second end of the first chamber.
Abstract:
A bicycle inflator includes a cylinder having a cap fixedly received in a first end thereof and an end member fixedly received in a second end of the cylinder. The cap has a passage defined therethrough. The end member has a tubular portion extending downwardly from a bottom thereof and the tubular portion has a cut-away defined through a periphery thereof so that a pawl member extending from the bottom is received in the cut-away. A piston rod extends through the end member and is connected to a piston member in the cylinder. A handle has a first end and a second end which is pivotally connected to the piston rod. A longitudinal recess is defined through a periphery of the handle and sized to allow the piston rod to pass therethrough. Each of two opposite inner sides defining the longitudinal recess has a notch defined therein and located near the first end so as to receive the pawl member when the handle is not used. Two protrusions respectively extend from the two respective opposite inner sides defining the longitudinal recess and are located near the second end of the handle.
Abstract:
A pumping device includes a tubular member and a piston reciprocatingly received in the tubular member, the piston together with the tubular member defining a chamber. A head is securely, sealingly mounted to an end of the tubular member. The head includes a compartment defined therein and in fluid communication with the chamber of the tubular member. An elastic nozzle is securely mounted in the compartment and includes a through hole for receiving a valve of a bicycle tire. The elastic nozzle further includes a recessed clamping section defined in an inner periphery thereof for securely clamping the valve during reciprocating motion of the piston in the tubular member.
Abstract:
An attachment member for a hand pump includes two different valve openings for engaging with different tire valves. The attachment member includes a valve member slidably engaged in a tube. The valve member includes two head portions for engaging with two valve seats formed in the tube. A cam shaft is rotatably engaged in the tube and the valve member for moving the valve member laterally in the tube so as to engage either of the head portions with the valve seats, such that the attachment member may engage with different tire valves engaged in the caps.
