VALVE CORE
In order to solve the problem, a valve core according to one aspect of the present disclosure including: a barrel part that is cylindrical; a barrel packing that surrounds an outer lateral surface of the barrel part; a flange part that abuts on the barrel packing from above; and a head part that includes a male screw part at its outer lateral surface and that rotates relative to the barrel part. A lower surface of the head part abuts on the flange part from above.
Tire valve assembly
A tire valve assembly includes a valve shaft movably inserted into a first diameter section of the outer tube. The valve shaft includes a passage and a radial hole which communicates with the passage. A first seal is mounted to the end of the valve shaft that is inserted into the outer tube and is movable relative to a shoulder in the outer tube. A guide tube is mounted to the valve shaft and has a guide portion protruding therefrom which is guided in guide groove in the outer tube. An adjustment tube is threadedly mounted to the first outer threads on the valve shaft. When rotating the adjustment tube, the valve shaft is axially movable in the outer tube to control the gap between the first seal and the shoulder in the outer tube. The gap is changeable and communicates with the radial hole and the passage.
Fluid delivery device with positionable tube
A fluid delivery device includes a tube coupled to an axial manipulator. The axial manipulator includes an elongate member arranged to move axially in a housing. The tube is in fluid communication with a fluid diverter which is arranged to move axially in the housing upon axial movement of the elongate member. Seals are provided to prevent fluid from leaking out of the housing. A fluid port is in fluid communication with the tube via the fluid diverter, such that fluid can flow in and out of the tube via the fluid port and the fluid diverter.

INFLATION VALVE FOR TUBELESS TIRES
A tire inflation valve having anti-rotation features has an external valve seat, and includes a valve body, a valve stem extending through the length of the valve body, and anti-rotation features 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. The anti-rotation features may include a complementary slot and protrusion, a keyway and complementary protruding ridge, and/or complementary channels and lateral protrusions.

Contaminant resistant charge valve
A charge valve assembly for an air conditioning system includes a valve housing having a first end, a second end, and an inner surface defining a cavity. A valve core assembly is received in the cavity of the valve housing through the second end of the valve housing. The valve core assembly has a first end, a second end, a flow channel extending from the first end of the valve core assembly to the second end of the valve core assembly, an inner sealing surface, and a pin slideably received in the flow channel between an open position and a closed position. The pin has a primary seal selectively engaging the inner sealing surface of the valve core assembly and closing the flow channel at the second end of the valve core assembly when in the closed position. The pin biases towards the first end of the valve housing.
Inflation valve for tubeless tires
A tire inflation valve having anti-rotation features has an external valve seat, and includes a valve body, a valve stem extending through the length of the valve body, and anti-rotation features 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. The anti-rotation features may include a complementary slot and protrusion, a keyway and complementary protruding ridge, and/or complementary channels and lateral protrusions.
