Inflator Valve Connector
20240418281 · 2024-12-19 ·

An inflator valve connector includes a body, a guiding member and a lever. The body has a connecting end, an operating end and a guiding hole. The guiding member is rotatably and movably inserted through the guiding hole and is movable relative to the guiding hole between a first position and a second position. The guiding member has a pushing end, an inlet end and an air passage extending from the pushing end to the inlet end and communicating with the guiding hole. The lever is pivotally mounted to the operating end to selectively abut against the guiding member in a unlock position and a lock position, and the lever is configured to actuate the guiding member to move relative to the guiding hole.

Valve assembly for an air cushion

An air valve assembly includes a housing defining an internal channel configured to receive a first member, the first member is fluidly connected to an air source, a plunger member positioned in the internal channel and configured to slide relative to the housing, a biasing member positioned in the internal channel and configured to apply a biasing force onto the plunger member, and a sealing member positioned in the internal channel and defining a first inflation aperture, the plunger member slidably received by the first inflation aperture. In a first inflation configuration, the first member is configured to form a magnetic connection with the sealing member and contact the plunger member to overcome the biasing force, the plunger member is configured to responsively slide relative to the first inflation aperture to facilitate a flow of air between the sealing member and the plunger member.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AN ADJUSTABLE DAMPER

An air bleed system for a suspension fork or shock absorber includes: a fluid passage between an interior of the suspension and an exterior of the suspension; and an automatic air bleed assembly having a material with oleophobic and hydrophobic properties to allow the fluid passage to remain open while limiting the introduction of external fluid into the interior of the suspension and limiting the escape of internal fluid out of the interior of the suspension.

PNEUMATIC GAUGE AND PRESSURE CONTROL DEVICE AND PNEUMATIC SYSTEM INCLUDING SAME

A pneumatic gauge/pressure control device includes a first body, a pneumatic gauge that is fixed to the first body, and a second body that is rotatable relative to the first body and gauge to: (i) a fill position in which compressed air is communicated into a system; (ii) a vent position in which compressed air is vented from the system. The second body activates a first switch when rotated in the first direction and activates a second switch when rotated in the second angular direction. A method for controlling the flow of compressed air relative to a pneumatic system includes rotating a second body in a first or second directions relative to a pneumatic pressure gauge to fill or vent positions to cause compressed air to be introduced into or vented from the pneumatic system, respectively.

Fuel tank assembly with triggered venting

A fuel tank assembly includes a fuel tank including a fuel inlet. A fuel cap is threadably engageable with the fuel inlet. The fuel cap has a grip provided for manipulation by a user. A vent path extends between a vent channel and the interior of the fuel tank. In a first configuration, the fuel cap is fully threaded to the fuel inlet to a fully closed position. The assembly is operable to transition to a second configuration in which the vent path is unobstructed and the fuel cap is fully threaded to the fuel inlet to the fully closed position. To enable unthreading of the fuel cap from the fuel inlet, the fuel tank assembly is operable to transition from the first configuration to the second configuration in response to a movement that does not alter the threaded engagement with the fuel inlet.
