Abstract

A pumping device includes a main body having a passage defined therein and communicated with an air source. A retainer is slidably received in the main body and includes a chamber communicated with the passage of the main body. A nozzle is received in the chamber of the retainer and includes a nozzle passage communicated with the chamber. A plastic nozzle head is securely mounted in the main body and includes a valve chamber defined therein and communicated with the nozzle passage. A lever is provided for switching the retainer between a first inoperative position and a second operative position in which when the retainer is switched to the second operative position, the retainer exerts an inward force upon an outer periphery of the plastic nozzle head.
