  • Patent number: 9347442
    Abstract: The fluid transfer hand pump has a first chamber separated from a second chamber by a barrier with air passages. Air is drawn into the first chamber upon elevation of a knobbed rod. Air is forced into the second chamber by plunging the rod with a cupped seal into the first chamber. The second chamber is sealably joined to a fluid containing vessel to pressurize the vessel, which in turn forces fluid out of the pump and into a desired receptacle.
