Neutral shaped pump diaphragm
Abstract
In the invention, the diaphragm for an air-operated double diaphragm pump is molded in an "S" shape which corresponds to the shape of the diaphragm in the center (of the pump stroke) or relaxed position. By allowing the pump to be assembled in this center or relaxed position, the diaphragm need not be flexed in order to perform the pump assembly.
