Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
In a vibrator air pump for delivering air bubbles into an aquarium by a pumping action of a bellows, said pump having an air inlet and an air outlet said bellows being positioned over a valve housing and connected to a vibratory armature operated in an alternating magnetic field, the improvement comprising; an upper and lower casing having partition walls to divide the inside of a housing of said pump into two chambers, said upper casing having slits on the upper and side surface thereof for introducing air into one of said chambers and circulating said air in the inside and outside of said chamber; and an electromagnet having air passages for cooling said electromagnet and disposed in said chamber by having a front contour of said electromagnet encircled by said partition walls.
