Abstract
A floor pump includes a main body and a supporting device. The supporting device includes a base and a first leg. The base is fixed to the main body and has a first stopping flange and a second stopping flange. The first leg is pivotally connected to the base to approach or move away from the base. The first leg has a front end and a rear end. When the first leg is approached to the base, the first leg is limited by the first and second stopping flanges to a folded position or an unfolded position. When the first leg is in the folded position, the front end is approached to the main body. When the first leg is in the unfolded position, the front end is distal away from the main body.
Description
BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to a floor pump and, more particular, to a floor pump with legs.


Taiwan Patent No. TW409785U discloses an inflation pump auxiliary positioning device. It is mainly provided with a positioning device and a receiving portion formed in a middle of the positioning device for sleeving on an outer edge wall of a pump body, and symmetrical flanges are arranged on both sides of the positioning device. Outer periphery walls of the flanges has notch grooves, and a sleeve with an elastic member is placed inside the flange. In addition, one end of a support frame forms symmetrical contact surfaces, and the other end has a concave edge groove. One side inner wall of the concave edge groove is protruded with an engaging block, and an extension rod is arranged inside. The concave edge groove is correspondingly covered on the flange of the positioning device, so that the engaging block in the concave edge groove is fastened to the notch grooves of the flange, and the flanges on both sides of the positioning device are accommodated and sleeved by the sleeve with the elastic member, so that the extension rod in the concave edge groove is connected with the sleeve.


However, when the positioning device is unfolded or folded, the engaging block must be precisely aligned and engaged into the notch groove to achieve the positioning effect. Not only is the operation lacking in convenience, but also the supporting force generated by the engaging cooperation between the notch groove and the engaging block is insufficient, and if the load is too large, the positioning device may be damaged.


Thus, a need exists for a novel floor pump to mitigate and/or obviate the above disadvantages.

  • 9. The floor pump as claimed in claim 8, wherein the base is connected to an axial rod having an outer periphery sleeved by an axial sleeve, wherein the first leg has a pivot hole along an axial direction of the first rotation axis, wherein the floor pump further includes a pivot mechanism, wherein the pivot mechanism includes a biasing member, a cover sleeve, and a pull collar, wherein the biasing member sleeves on the axial sleeve, wherein the cover sleeve inserts into the pivot hole and sleeves on the biasing member, wherein one end of the biasing member along the axial direction of the first rotation axis abuts against the axial sleeve and another end of the biasing member abuts against the cover sleeve, and wherein the pull collar is connected to the cover sleeve and located at one side of the first leg opposite to the base.
  • 10. The floor pump as claimed in claim 9, wherein the side of the first leg opposite to the base has an engaging recess disposed adjacent to the pivot hole, wherein one side of the pull collar adjacent to the first leg has an engaging flange engaged with the engaging recess, wherein the first leg and the pull collar is axially movable along the first rotation axis synchronously, and when the first leg is moved away from the base, the first leg and the pull collar is rotatable relative to each other synchronously.
  • 11. The floor pump as claimed in claim 10, wherein the base further has a positioning flange disposed adjacent to the axial rod, wherein one side of the cover sleeve adjacent to the base has a first positioning recess and a second positioning recess, wherein when the first leg is in the folded position, the positioning flange is engaged in the first positioning recess, and wherein when the first leg is in the unfolded position, the positioning flange is engaged in the second positioning recess.
  • 12. The floor pump as claimed in claim 11, wherein the base further has a third stopping flange and a fourth stopping flange, wherein the third stopping flange and the first stopping flange are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the base and form a symmetrical structure, wherein the fourth stopping flange and the second stopping flange are respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the base and form a symmetrical structure, wherein the supporting device further includes a second leg, wherein the second leg is pivotally connected to the base and rotatable relative to the base about a second rotation axis, and the second leg is axially movable along the second rotation axis to approach or move away from the base, wherein when the second leg is moved away from the base, the second leg is rotatable relative to the base, and when the second leg is approached to the base, the second leg is limited, and the second leg and the first leg are respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the base and form a symmetrical structure.
  • 13. The floor pump as claimed in claim 8, wherein the main body has a footrest, wherein the footrest has a connection flange extending in a vertical direction, wherein an outer periphery of the connection flange has a T-shaped cross section in a horizontal direction, wherein the base has a connection groove and is movable in the vertical direction to cause the connection groove to sleeve on the connection flange, and wherein an inner periphery of the connection groove has a T-shaped cross section in the horizontal direction.
