Abstract:
A pump unit includes a pump housing having a valve assembly positioned on a wall thereof and adapted to be coupled to an inflatable device, and an air control assembly that is housed inside the pump housing. The air control assembly includes an impeller section that houses an impeller, and has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air control assembly further includes a motor housing that houses a motor, the motor housing having an air vent that communicates the interior of the motor housing with the air inlet and the air outlet, and a vent opening that communicates the interior of the motor housing to the environment. The air outlet is aligned with the valve assembly when the pump unit is operated in the inflation mode, and the air inlet is aligned with the valve assembly when the pump unit is operated in the deflation mode.

Claim (Index 12):
An air control assembly for use with an air pump unit, comprising:\n an air chamber section section that houses an impeller, the air chamber section having an air inlet and an air outlet positioned adjacent each other and separated by a small angled spacing; a motor housing that houses a motor, the motor having a shaft that is coupled to the impeller, the motor housing having an air vent that fluidly communicates the interior of the motor housing with the air inlet and the air outlet, and a vent opening that fluidly communicates the interior of the motor housing to the environment; wherein a first air flow path is defined where air enters the motor housing from the environment through the vent opening, and then exits the motor housing through the air vent and enters the air chamber section through the air inlet, and is driven by the impeller to exit the impeller section through the air outlet; and wherein a second air flow path is defined where air travels through the air inlet, and enters the air chamber section through the air inlet, is driven by the impeller out of the air chamber section through the air outlet, and then enters the motor housing through the air vent, and exits the motor housing through the vent opening to the environment.
