Patent ID: 7556058

Claim:
An activation assembly for activating a pump inside a dehumidifier, the activation assembly comprising: a cover ( 1 ) adapted to connect to the dehumidifier and having therein a switch device ( 11 ) adapted to electrically connect to the pump; a recoil mechanism ( 2 ) partially extended through the cover ( 1 ) and having therein a path ( 20 ) to receive a recoil spring ( 21 ) compressibly received inside the path ( 20 ) and a push ( 22 ) movably received inside the path ( 20 ) and securely located on top of the recoil spring ( 21 ), the push ( 22 ) having a sealing rim ( 221 ) formed at a bottom of the push ( 22 ) to plug a top opening of the path ( 20 ); a clamping element ( 3 ) mounted on top of the recoil mechanism ( 2 ); a connector ( 6 ) having a tube ( 61 ) selectively secured by the clamping element ( 3 ) and extending into the recoil mechanism ( 2 ) to push the sealing rim ( 221 ) of the push ( 22 ) away from the top opening of the path ( 20 ) to allow communication between an interior of the tube ( 61 ) and the path ( 20 ), the connector ( 6 ) having an extension ( 62 ) formed with the tube ( 61 ) to contact with the switch device ( 11 ) when the tube ( 61 ) is extended into the recoil mechanism ( 2 ) to complete the communication between the interior of the tube and the path ( 20 ) such that the pump is activated by the switch device ( 11 ) by the contact of the extension ( 62 ) and water is drained by operation of the pump through the path ( 20 ) and the interior of the connector ( 6 ).
