Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a reusable valve in which a seal portion is co-molded with and overmolded to the valve stem to provide a secure mechanical bond therebetween. In one embodiment, the valve includes a snap fit between the valve stem and a retaining cap to provide easy assembly of the valve as well as an efficient and compact retention mechanism for a biasing spring and the valve stem in relation to the valve housing. In one embodiment, the valve includes an easy-to-use opening and closing mechanism that provides tactile feedback to the user when moving the valve stem to an open position and to a closed position to inflate, deflate, or maintain air or gas pressure in the inflatable article. The present disclosure also provides a dunnage bag with such valve.

A valve assembly for inflatable bodies such as a recreational toy, is located in a recessed cup that is flush with the surface of the inflatable body. The cup has a central boss that has both an internal and external thread. The valve assembly is secured to the boss with the internal threads and a cap is secured to the boss with the external threads. The valve assembly provides for inflation using an air hose or a manual inflation device. The valve assembly is removable from the cup to facilitate deflation of the body after use. The cap provides sealing between the cup and valve member to inhibit loss of air.

An apparatus for dispensing pressurized air and/or tire sealant from a pressurized can. The apparatus comprising a nozzle and a locking element for the nozzle and/or a cap including a free length of hose that is positioned within the cap. The locking element locks the nozzle in the non-dispensing position for safety during non-use or in a dispensing position for ease of use. The hose provides an extension for the nozzle for hard to reach places, and stores fully wound within the cap, such as along the inner circumference of the cap.
