Abstract

An inflator with inflation and deflation effects. The inflator includes: a cylinder body in which a piston is fitted for compressing the gas in a compression room formed in the cylinder body between the piston and the front end of the cylinder body; a piston rod having an internal gas passage, a front end of the piston rod extending through a rear end of the cylinder body into the cylinder body to connect with the piston, a front end of the gas passage communicating with the compression room; a handle connected with a rear end of the piston rod, a rear end of the gas passage communicating with outer side; a first one-way valve disposed at a front end of the cylinder body and only permitting the gas to one-way flow between the compression room and outer side; a second one-way valve only permitting the gas to one-way flow between outer side, the gas passage and the compression room. Along the longitude of the inflator, the two one-way valves only permit the gas to one-way flow in the same direction.
