HOLLOW TIRE WITH INFLATING VALVE
Disclosed is a hollow tire with an inflating valve, including two parts: a tire body and an inflating valve. The inflating valve is disposed in the tire body, the inflating valve is a rubber gasket inflating valve, and an inflating valve rubber base and the tire body of the hollow tire are bonded by using a rubber vulcanization process to ensure gas tightness. An inflating valve body is hidden in the tire body of the hollow tire and can be located at any position on a cross section of the tire body of the hollow tire. Compared with an ordinary hollow tire, in this disclosure, the inflating valve is disposed on the hollow tire, so that high-pressure gas can be inflated, thereby enhancing a load-bearing capability and buffering performance and improving a service life of the tire.
TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM FOR HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES
A mechanical fluid pressure regulator comprising a regulator portion for housing components of a valve assembly, a pilot port for receiving a control pressure, an exhaust port, and first and second structures disposed within the regulator. The regulator portion has a supply port for receiving a supply pressure and a delivery port for providing a delivery pressure, the delivery port being in selective fluid communication with the supply port. The at least one exhaust port is in selective fluid communication between the delivery port and the external environment. The first structure is adjustable for establishing a maximum threshold pressure without regard to the control pressure. The second structure affects the response of the regulator portion to the supply and delivery pressures. The control pressure cooperates with the first and second structures to proportionally reduce the delivery pressure from the maximum threshold pressure established by the first structure.
Automatic tire inflation system hose with integrated TPMS sensor
A TPMS-sensor-integrated automatic tire inflation system hose is provided that includes an inspection valve and a TPMS sensor.
Bicycle tire inner tube with pneumatic valve
An inner tube for a bicycle tire is provided. The inner tube includes a vessel and a valve stem. The valve stem is coupled to the vessel and a end having a fastener, the end having a first opening having a first diameter. A cap is coupled to the fastener and has a pin passage with a second diameter. The cap has a concavity on an outer diameter. A circular seal is disposed between the cap and the second end, the seal having a second hole having a third diameter that fluidly couples the first opening and the pin passage, the third diameter being smaller than the pin passage. A biasing member is disposed within the first hole. A sealing member is movably disposed within the first opening and is biased against the seal by the biasing member.

Corrosion protection for aircraft wheel pneumatic ports
A wheel assembly is provided that includes a structure defining a wheel portion configured to receive a portion of a tire. The wheel assembly further includes a structure of the wheel portion defining an air channel from a face of the wheel portion to an area that receives the portion of the tire, an end of the air channel proximate to the face being configured to receive a valve, where the structure is further configured to receive a corrosion mitigation device within the air channel.

LOCKING AIR CHUCK
A locking air chuck. The locking air chuck includes a nozzle, where the nozzle is configured to be placed on an air stem and a body, where the body is attached to the nozzle. The locking air chuck also includes a collar, where the collar is outside the nozzle and configured to slide relative to the nozzle. The locking air chuck further includes one or more locking teeth, the one or more locking teeth configured to engage the air stem and be pressed through the nozzle by the collar.
MULTI-TIRE AIR HOSE KIT
A hose kit. The hose kit includes a manifold. The manifold includes an air input, a first air output and a second air output. The hose kit also includes a first air output hose configured to attach to the first air output and a first tee fitting configured to attach to the first air output hose. The hose kit further includes a first tire whip configured to attach to the first tee fitting and a first tire hose configured to attach to the first tee fitting. The hose kit additionally includes a second air output hose configured to attach to the second air output and a second tee fitting configured to attach to the second air output hose. The hose kit moreover includes a second tire whip configured to attach to the second tee fitting and a second tire hose configured to attach to the second tee fitting.
Pneumatic pressure controller
A pneumatic pressure controller includes a body, an inflation plunger, a vent and a deflation diaphragm or piston. The body defines an input chamber and an output chamber for connection of a pneumatic pressure source and pneumatic container respectively. The plunger is biased towards a closed condition wherein it inhibits fluid flow from the input chamber to the output chamber and is movable against the bias to allow such fluid flow for inflation of the pneumatic container. The diaphragm or piston is variably biased towards a closed condition wherein it closes the vent. The diaphragm or piston is configured to move away from the vent to an open condition under the influence of fluid pressure in the output chamber when the inflation plunger is in the closed condition and the variable bias is sufficiently reduced, enabling fluid from the pneumatic container to egress to the atmosphere via the vent.
