A stemming system includes a computing device and a stemming device. The computing device includes data processing hardware and memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware. The data processing hardware includes a transmitter and a receiver. The stemming device is communicatively-coupled to the computing device. The stemming device includes a base portion and a valve-engaging portion. The valve-engaging portion includes a transducer that obtains a measurement communicated to the receiver of the computing device. The measurement includes at least one physical parameter associated with installing a tire-wheel assembly valve to a wheel throughout a process of disposing the valve within a valve hole of the wheel. The processor analyzes a data signature associated with the measurement for determining if the valve has been adequately or inadequately installed by the stemming device.

Described are valve stems for wheels or other pressure vessels that may be installed from the exterior of a wheel or pressure vessel without access to the interior, pressure retaining areas. The valve stem may include a body with a barrel and taper. A neck may be between the body and a base that includes a flange, a flange landing, and an air aperture. An air channel runs vertically through the valve stem to allow air to pass from one side of the valve stem to another with a valve core or other flow control device. The base of the valve stem may include a groove that allows the valve stem to be installed into a hole by twisting such that the groove may ride along the rim of the hole and guide the valve stem into a fully seated and sealed position.

A device for inflating a tire includes a forward sleeve including an internally threaded head; an air intake assembly including a joining member secured to the forward sleeve and having a constricted section and an air inlet; an air intake extending out of the joining member at an acute angle and having an air channel for communicating with the air inlet through the constricted section, and a connector; and a rear sleeve secured to the joining member; and a valve assembly including a rod through both the rear sleeve and the joining member; a mounting sleeve in the forward sleeve and having a groove at a first end, the groove being in the internally threaded head, and a fitting hole communicating with the groove; a flexible tubular member in the mounting sleeve; a handle secured to the rod; and a snap ring on the rod.

The present disclosure provides a device for inserting an inflating valve, comprising a synchronous clamping and centering mechanism, a synchronous rotating mechanism, a valve hole position detection mechanism and an inflating valve inserting mechanism. The device can meet the requirement for automatically inserting an inflating valve to a wheel, has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient manufacture, stable performance and precision that can meet the machining requirement, and can meet the requirements for automatic production.

An articulating tire valve install-removal tool and related methods for use. The articulating tire valve install-removal tool has a body comprising an outer perimeter, an inner recess, a threaded member, a linkage, and a contact member. The articulating tire valve install-removal tool components are connected to each other and secured within the body so one or more components can rotate around one or more axes. Together these components facilitate in the valve being installed and removed perpendicular or generally perpendicular to the valve hole on the wheel. The articulating tire valve stem tool includes a linkage assembly that is attached to the body to facilitate in ensuring the valve is installed and removed with the valve perpendicular to the valve hole in the wheel rim. The articulating tire valve stem tool includes a contact member that includes a feature that prevents slipping on the rim during use in addition to acting as a fulcrum to increase mechanical advantage during the use of the articulating tire valve install-removal tool. The articulating tire valve stem install-removal tool includes a contact member that has a feature that inhibits or prevents damage or slipping on the wheel during use in addition to acting as a fulcrum to increase mechanical advantage during the use of the articulating tire valve install-removal tool. The contact member also includes a feature to lock the threaded member parallel or generally parallel to the body which allows for the device to attach to the valve quickly. The body of the articulating tire valve stem tool reduces deflection, increases ergonomics, and is more durable due to the design.
