Abstract

The pumping device includes a barrel, a cover, a pumping mechanism, a positioning ring, and plural posts. The barrel has plural first positioning portions extending upward near a bottom thereof. The cover is disposed on the barrel to selectively close the barrel. The pumping mechanism is disposed on the cover for pumping liquid in the receiving space outward or pumping liquid outside into the receiving space. The positioning ring is detachably combined by two semi-ring bodies and is sleeved onto the cover and the barrel to position the cover on the barrel. The positioning ring has plural second positioning portions. Each of the posts connects the positioning ring and the bottom of the barrel therebetween. Each post is detachably connected to one of the first positioning portions and one of the second positioning portions therebetween so that the two semi-ring bodies are unable to separate freely.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pumping device, including:
a barrel, enclosing a receiving space and having an opening at a top thereof, the barrel further having a plurality of first positioning portions extending upward at a lateral side thereof near a bottom thereof, an axial direction being defined from the top to the bottom of the barrel; a cover, disposed on the barrel at the opening of the barrel to selectively close the receiving space;
a pumping mechanism, disposed on the cover and communicating the receiving space and an outside therebetween, the pumping mechanism being adapted for pumping liquid in the receiving space outward or pumping liquid outside into the receiving space;
a positioning ring, detachably combined by two semi-ring bodies, the positioning ring being sleeved onto a portion that the cover and the barrel are connected so as to position the cover on the barrel to inhibit the cover from detaching from the barrel along the axial direction, the positioning ring having a plurality of second positioning portions, each of the two semi-ring bodies having at least one said second positioning portions;
a plurality of posts, each of the posts connecting the positioning ring and the bottom of the barrel therebetween, two ends of each of the posts being detachably connected to one of the first positioning portions and one of the second positioning portions so that the two semi-ring bodies are unable to separate freely.

2. The pumping device of claim 1 , wherein each of the posts is hollow tube-shaped.

3. The pumping device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first positioning portions is a recess extending along the axial direction, each of the second positioning portions is a through hole penetrating the positioning ring and extending along the axial direction.

4. The pumping device of claim 3 , wherein each of the semi-ring bodies is formed with at least one protrusion radially extending outward, each of the second positioning portions is formed on one of the protrusions.

5. The pumping device of claim 1 , wherein the barrel has a seat arranged at the bottom thereof, the seat has a larger diameter than that of the barrel, the first positioning portions are arranged on a top face of the seat.

6. The pumping device of claim 1 , wherein the two semi-ring bodies are penetrated by two pivot elements to be detachably connected.

7. The pumping device of claim 1 , wherein the cover has a first flange radially extending outward, the barrel has a second flange radially extending outward near the opening, an inner peripheral face of each of the semi-ring bodies has a first rib and a second rib at two ends along the axial direction, the first rib and the second rib radially extend inward, the first rib is located above the first flange and overlaps the first flange along the axial direction, the second rib is located below the second flange and overlaps the second flange along the axial direction so that the cover is positioned on the barrel.

8. The pumping device of claim 7 , wherein the inner peripheral face of each of the semi-ring bodies is further formed with a third rib located between the first rib and the second rib, the third rib is located above the second flange so that the second flange is restricted between the second rib and the third rib.

9. The pumping device of claim 8 , wherein each of the posts is hollow tube-shaped; each of the first positioning portions is a recess extending along the axial direction, each of the second positioning portions is a through hole penetrating the positioning ring and extending along the axial direction; the barrel has a seat arranged at the bottom thereof, the seat has a larger diameter than that of the barrel, the first positioning portions are arranged on a top face of the seat; the two semi-ring bodies are penetrated by two pivot elements to be detachably connected; the first positioning portions includes four said first positioning portions arranged isometrically, the second positioning portions includes four said second positioning portions, each of the semi-ring bodies includes two of the second positioning portions, the posts includes four said posts.
