Abstract

A manual liquid pump has a drawing device, a connecting tube, an outlet gun and a detecting device. The drawing device is inserted into a container to draw liquids and has a caution shaft. The connecting tube has an inner and outer pipe. The inner pipe is mounted in the outer pipe and is connected to and actuates the caution shaft. The outlet gun has a returning valve being selectively actuated to close and prevent liquid from flowing through the outlet gun, instead forcing the liquid down the inner pipe and actuating the caution shaft to warn users to stop pumping. The detecting device is mounted in the nozzle and actuates the return valve when a liquid level is too high to prevent overfilling and spillage for safer operation.
