Patent ID: 8801667

Claim:
An irrigating device comprising: a handle portion; a reservoir portion releasably connected to the handle portion; an outlet nozzle operably connected to the handle portion and fluidly connected to the reservoir by a fluid flow pathway; a pump received within the handle portion and configured to selectively pump fluid from the reservoir through the fluid pathway to the outlet nozzle, the pump including: a motor; a drive shaft selectively rotatable by the motor and having a first axis of rotation; a cam mechanism operably connected to the drive shaft, having a second axis of rotation and configured to selectively rotate around a camshaft; a cam follower defining a cavity in which the cam mechanism is received; and a diaphragm operably connected to the cam follower; wherein the cam follower moves the diaphragm substantially transversely with respect to a longitudinal axis of the handle portion to provide fluid flow from the reservoir through the fluid flow pathway to the outlet nozzle; during an intake stroke the diaphragm is in a first position and during a compression stroke the diaphragm is in a second position; and the first axis of rotation of the drive shaft and the second axis of rotation of the cam mechanism have substantially the same orientation.
