Abstract:
A pumping system featuring a pump chamber configured with a central portion having a tangential outlet, and configured with a tubular coupling end portion having inwardly flexible rim portions on one side; and a mounting base, having a circular portion with an inner circumferential rim configured to receive and engage the inwardly flexible rim portions of the tubular coupling portion of the pump chamber so as to be rotationally coupled to the pumping chamber so that the pumping chamber may be rotated 360 in relation to the mounting base.
Abstract:
A pumping system (10; 100) featuring a mounting base (40; 140) having a circular portion (42) with a circumferential wall (42a', 42a") configured with at least two slots (42b) formed therein; a motor, pump and electronics assembly (50) having a housing (54, 56) with a motor (58)arranged therein, the housing (54, 56) being configured with at least two detents (54a) formed thereon; and a switching assembly (60) having a water level sensor (62a) configured to respond to a water level and turn the motor (58) on and off, the switching assembly (60) being arranged in the housing (54, 56) of the motor, pump and electronics assembly (50). The mounting base (40; 140) and the motor, pump and electronics assembly (60) are coupled together using a detent and slot arrangement so that the at least two slots (42b) receive the at least two detents (54a) for rotationally coupling together the mounting base (40; 140) and the motor, pump and electronics assembly (60) in at least two rotational orientations that differ by 180°.
