The filter assembly is positioned between an outwardly threaded stem of a tire valve that controls the flow of tire gas and an internally threaded stem-receiving mount on a tire gas sensor. The filter assembly comprises a housing having relatively opposing first and second ends, a mount-engaging portion adjacent to said first end, a cavity open at said first end, a stem-engaging stub at the second end, and at least one port extending through the stub and into the cavity; a filter insertable in the cavity; and a retainer mountable in the cavity at the first end of the housing and having a bore extending therethrough. The stub at the second end of the housing is disposed to depress the tire valve stem and release tire gas when the filter assembly and the tire valve stem are fully threaded into the mount on the sensing device. The tire gas flows through the port in the stub, the filter, and the bore in the retainer before reaching the sensing device.

A rapid clipper for air inlet clipper comprises: an air inlet connector, an air inlet clipper, a first control member and an elastic member; the air inlet clipper includes a main body, formed with a first end and a second end, and a clipping member, and includes a passageway and at least one cut groove; the clipping member is inside the cut groove and capable of being reciprocally moved along the cut groove, and the middle portion of the clipping member is protruded into the passageway so as to be latched with an outer thread of a tire valve nozzle; the first control member is moveably disposed in the air inlet clipper and formed with an accommodation slot, when the first control member is axially moved along the air inlet clipper, the location where the clipping member being disposed in the cut groove is able to be altered.

A device for adjustment of pressure in tires includes a chamber with shape memory and a valve. The valve is a three-way valve with inputs interconnected with the external environment and the tire internal space. One input is fitted with a valve, the next input is connected to one end of the chamber with shape memory, and the last input is interconnected with the closure element. The device includes the chamber with shape memory interconnected with the external environment through an input and with the tire chamber through an output and fitted with at least one valve. The length of the chamber in the direction of tire rotation equals 0.001 to 0.5 times the tire perimeter, where the volume of the chamber before deformation to volume of the chamber during deformation ratio is the same or higher than the desired tire pressure to pressure of the external environment ratio.

A non-motor driven device for redistributing air from an inflatable object with a high pressure to an inflatable object having a lower pressure. The pressure equalizer device is configured for redistributing fluid, preferably pressurized air, between independent inflatable objects. The pressure equalizer contains a main body configured to engage and connect separate, independent inflatable objects together and to a plurality of intermediate inflatable object engaging members. The main body is further configured to allow fluid to travel therethrough. The main body may comprise a first air redistribution component, a second air redistribution component, and a third air redistribution component, in addition to a plurality of inflatable object air valve stem locking members.

System and method for obtaining and recording information about cargo includes a frame defining a cargo-receivable compartment, a position determining system at least partly on the frame and that allows for determination of position of the frame, an identification system on the frame that obtains information about cargo when present in the compartment, a memory component that receives and records information about position and movement of the frame, and the obtained information about cargo when present in the compartment in association with a unique identification of the frame, and a communications system on the frame to enable communication of information to and from the memory component.

A valve connector comprises a body including an inlet port, an outlet port defining a longitudinal axis,at least one aperture extending between an exterior surface of the body and the outlet port. The valve connector also comprises a sleeve arranged about the exterior surface of the body and movable relative to the body between a clamping position and a release position and a biasing member applying a biasing force against the sleeve towards the clamping position. The valve connector further comprises a clamping mechanism including at least one clamping member arranged at least partially within the aperture. When the valve is received in the outlet port, the clamping member is inwardly displaceable into the outlet port in response to the biasing force biasing the sleeve toward the clamping position, such that the clamping member engages the valve.

A pump-head configured to couple with a bicycle inner tube valve stem or tubeless valve stem is provided. The pump-head includes a housing, inflation pin, a plurality of members and a biasing member. The housing has an attachment member that couples with an air source, the attachment member having an air inlet passage and a collar with a plurality of passages disposed about a periphery of the collar, the plurality of passages extending from an outer diameter of the collar to an inner bore. The inflation pin is coupled to the housing and the air inlet passage, the inflation pin having an end disposed within the inner bore. The members are associated with, and at least partially disposed in, one of the plurality of passages. A biasing member is disposed about the periphery of the plurality of members to biasing each of the members towards the inflation pin.
