Fluid pressure regulator
11339883 · 2022-05-24 · ·

A fluid pressure regulator includes at least one fluid inlet conduit for connection to a pressurised fluid source, an outlet conduit. and an elastically expansible chamber arranged between the at least one fluid inlet conduit and the outlet conduit. The elastically expansible chamber being configured to elastically deform the at least one fluid inlet conduit upon expansion to modify the cross sectional area of the at least one fluid inlet conduit.

Inflation system for tubeless tires

An inflation system for tubeless bicycle tires may include a valve, a sealant canister, a pump head, and/or a valve core adapter. The valve, sealant canister, and pump head may collectively facilitate sealant injection into a tire by a user. The valve has an external valve seat, and includes a valve body, a valve stem extending through the length of the valve body, and a retaining mechanism for the valve stem disposed interior to the valve body. The valve stem is configured to move relative to the valve body, such that a resilient seating surface disposed at a proximal end of the valve stem is displaced relative to a valve seat formed by an exterior surface of a proximal end of the valve body.

Valve assembly for an air cushion

An air valve assembly includes a housing defining an internal channel, 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, a sealing member defining a first inflation aperture, the plunger member slidably received by the first inflation aperture, a second deflation aperture defined by the housing and in fluid communication with the internal channel, and a deflation control member slidably connected to the housing, the deflation control member configured to selectively seal the second deflation aperture.

AUTOMATIC DEFLATOR VALVES WITH VORTEX-LIKE AIR FLOW WITH IMPROVED TIRE VALVE STEM CONNECTION
20230265932 · 2023-08-24 ·

An improved deflator valve for reducing deflation time. The deflator valve has a main body with one or more ports, one or more vents, or port or vent slots for introducing air into or relieving pressure from within the main body in a vortex, circular flow. The deflator valve also includes a piston having an O-ring disposed around an outer circumference of the piston. The O-ring of the piston and the ports and vents are effective for reducing noise and deflation time and improving accuracy and ease of adjusting a pressure setting. The deflator valve can further include a dual or variable rate spring that can achieve an extensive destination pressure range. The deflator valve can also include a threadless lead in, fewer valve stem threads, or a lock chuck for enhanced valve stem attachment methods.

Pressurizable adapter of bicycle valve
11318800 · 2022-05-03 ·

A pressurizable adapter of bicycle valve can be used for a tubeless bicycle tire and contains: a receiving tube, a valve core and a valve cap. The receiving tube includes an internal screw portion, an air outlet, a first connecting part, an air inlet, at least one sealing ring and a connecting section. The valve core used is a standardized valve core. The valve core is housed in the connecting section of the receiving tube, the second connecting section of the valve core is connected to the first end of the receiving tube, and the second connecting portion of the valve core is in contact with the first connecting portion of the receiving tube, so that a closing effect is achieved. The valve cap contains a third connecting portion configured to connect to the first connecting portion and covers the air inlet of the receiving tube.

IMPROVED AIR BED VALVE

The disclosed technology includes an air valve assembly for providing flexibility for a user when inflating an inflatable air mattress. The air valve assembly can include a base configured to attach to a portion of the inflatable air mattress, a middle valve configured to attach to the base portion and having a first diameter, a diaphragm member configured to attach to the middle valve, and a cap configured to removably couple to a portion of the air valve. The assembly can further include an adapter configured to detachably attach to the middle valve portion. The adapter can have a portion with a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter such that when the adapter is attached, a user may use an inflation device with a smaller dimensioned output.

Pneumatic valve system and methods of using the same
11719351 · 2023-08-08 ·

The present invention provides a pneumatic valve system for easily attaching and sealing a valve coupler to a valve stem for filling an inflatable vessel such as a tire, tube, mattress, etc. The valve system may comprise the following major components: a valve stem, a valve cap with a pin passage and attachment structure for attaching to a valve coupler, a sealing member, a biasing member, the valve coupler comprising a coupler housing, a pin seat, an inflation pin, and a collar with ball bearings complementary to the attachment structure of the valve cap, and an elastic sleeve for providing inward force against the ball bearings. The valve system may allow for easy, secure, and sealed engagement between the valve coupler and valve stem by simply pushing down on the valve coupler, and disengagement by pulling up on the valve coupler with as little as two fingers.
