Hurricane emergency pump

Abstract

A pumping device for extracting water directly from a functionally disabled domestic water distribution system using a two stroke pump. The pump body is an elongated tube having a reciprocating piston therein and two diametrically opposed lateral extended open ports and each port containing a backflow valve. The backflow valves open and close alternately as the piston reciprocates within the pump body The pump has a hand operated attachment means that permits the pump to be physically, mechanically and directly attached to the hose bib or faucet of a dysfunctional disabled domestic water distribution system without the use of tools.

1 . A water pumping device that is hand operated and can be mechanically attached to the spigot of a private domestic water distribution system without the use of hand tools. 
 an elongated tube body having a first end and a second end, a reciprocating piston received inside the elongated tube body, the piston together with the elongated tube body will define a tube body cavity,    an enclosing end cap, securely and sealingly mounted and attached to the first end of the elongated tube body, the end cap having an air relief vent hole and a plunger shaft guide hole therein,    a plunger shaft with a piston attached is inserted through the end cap guide hole to facilitate the attachment of a pump handle to the plunger shaft,    a piston attached to the plunger shaft is smaller on the outside diameter than the inside diameter of the elongated tube body which will facilitate the free and easy reciprocating movement of the piston within the elongated tube body,    a piston that has one wide surface and one narrow surface, the wide surface of the piston is attached to the plunger shaft and the narrow surface has an annulus ring cut into the surface to receive an annular sealing ring that will make an airtight seal between the piston and the inside surface of the elongated tube body,    an airtight seal between the piston and the elongated tube body surface will permit an increase or decrease of pressure within the tube chamber as the piston reciprocates, the increase and decrease of pressure inside the tube chamber will cause an alternating siphon and discharging of the tube chamber contents, and alternately opening and closing the backflow valves,    an elongated tube body having a second end containing two laterally extended diametrically opposed open ports, open ports that communicate the outside of pump with the inside of pump, ports permit water to be siphoned into the tube chamber through the inlet port and discharged out of the tube chamber through the outlet port,    an elongated tube body having opposing open ports, each port having a backflow valve installed so that water does not backflow through either port, both valves will open and close alternately and the piston reciprocates with the tube chamber, both backflow valves are installed in the flow path of water with the opening and closing portion of the valve pointed down stream from the inlet open port    a laterally extended inlet open port having a hand operated moveable attachment means to facilitate attaching the pump to a standard spigot, the moveable attachment means has a standard female hose thread and can be manipulated easily without the use of hand tools    a laterally extended outlet open port having a threaded attachment means, the attachment means is a standard male hose thread that will facilitate the attachment of hoses to the pump.    
   
   
       2 . A hand operated pumping device that can be used remotely, 
 a pumping device having all the claims and aperture as in claim one.    a foot rest attached to the bottom of pump to support the pump when the pump is in use remotely.    a pumping device that can be used remotely by attaching a semi-rigid flexible hose (not shown), that will not implode into itself under negative pressure, to the inlet side of the pump and the other end of hose to any desired source, attach a discharge hose to the outlet side of the pump if desired to discharge the contents to any distant location.    a hand operated pumping device using only the water contained inside the water distribution system source to restore a dysfunctional water pump, there is no need for supplemental water from an outside source.    a hand operating pumping device is attached to the spigot of a water distribution system that has a dysfunctional water pump that has lost its prime, reciprocating the pump handle will siphon water from within the water distribution system source until water is restored to the dysfunctional pump, restoration of water to the pump restores the pumps prime and allows the pump to become operational without calling a plumber or using hand tools or supplemental water.    
   
   
       3 . A pumping device that can be used as a pneumatic pumping device. 
 a pumping device having all the apertures and claims in claim one, two and three.    a pumping device when fitted with modified attachment means will perform such inflation task as inflating balls, tires and inflatable beach toys or inflatable camping equipment.    a pumping device using modified attachment means will facilitate the inflation and deflation of any flexible, rigid containers or air bladders
