An air pump

Abstract

An air pump for an inflatable product may include a pressure valve assembly and an inflation-and-deflation control assembly. The inflation-and-deflation control assembly may include a switch assembly operatively coupled to the pressure valve assembly and a pump assembly operatively coupled to the switch assembly. The switch assembly may have a first position and a second position, and the pressure valve assembly may be configured to engage the switch assembly to maintain the switch assembly in the first position or the second position. When the pressure valve assembly detects that a pressure threshold has been reached within the inflatable product, the pressure valve assembly may disengage from the switch assembly.
