ABSTRACT:
An inflatable lumbar support system for a vehicle seat includes an inflatable air cell, or cells, coupled by an air line to a motorized diaphragm pump. The outlet valve of the pump is in the form of an umbrella valve which serves not only to seal the pump on the intake strokes, but is of such character to provide the sole seal between the air cell and pump, thereby eliminating the need to have a separate external check valve between the pump and air cell to assure that the air cell does not leak once pressurized.
