Abstract

Provided are a pair of pumps, each of which comprises a bellows having an intake inlet and a discharge outlet, a reciprocating drive means for contraction and expansion movements of the bellows, and a couple of electro-magnetic on-off valves disposed respectively in the intake inlet side and discharge outlet side of the bellows, so that, during the contracting motion of the bellows, the electro-magnetic on-off valve in the intake inlet side becomes closed while the electro-magnetic on-off valve in the discharge outlet side becomes open, and during the expanding motion of the bellows, the electro-magnetic on-off valve in the intake inlet side becomes open while the electro-magnetic on-off valve in the discharge outlet side becomes closed. The paired pumps perform the discharge motions alternately. The discharge outlets of the pumps at their ends are fluidly connected via a directional valve with a discharging gun. In case the gun remains unactivated for a certain period of time, the directional valve will operate so that the flow of fluid delivered from the pumps can circulate.
