A pneumatically operated gas valve includes a piston positioned in a cylinder with one closed end so that the piston may seat against a gas outlet to close the gas valve. A control reservoir may be formed in the cylinder between the piston and the closed end of the cylinder. Means for filling the control reservoir with gas to a control pressure may be provided so that the control pressure acting against the piston may close the gas valve. A release valve may be opened to allow the gas in the control reservoir to escape through an exhaust port to open the gas valve.

This air transferring apparatus is a system for conducting air flow which includes the air chuck for receiving or giving air, a crimp attached to the hose to allow the air chuck to remain engaged to the hose, the hose to supply air from one high pressure tire to the low pressure tire, and clamp to be placed on the valve stem to stay engaged with no assistance.

A pneumatic valve adaptor includes a fast-releasable gas source connector, which includes a top source piece and a rotatable joint, the and at least one valve coupler. The top source piece is connected to a top end of the rotatable joint for receiving and feeding gas supplied from a gas source into the rotatable joint. The rotatable joint has a lower edge in which at least one first engagement section is formed. The valve coupler is provided, at a lateral external surface and a lower end, with at least a second engagement section and a valve connection section. The second engagement section is engageable with or disengage able from the first engagement section through rotation of the rotatable joint. The valve connection section is connectable to a pneumatic valve of an inflatable object for supplying and feeding the gas from the gas source into the inflatable object for inflation.

An air maintenance tire assembly includes a tire having a tire cavity bounded by first and second sidewalls extending to a tire tread region, air pumping means for generating pressurized air for maintaining air pressure within the tire cavity at a preset pressure level, the air pumping means including a soft tubing and compression fittings for mitigating dynamic loading on the compression fittings, and a valve housing disposed adjacent an outward end of the valve stem and operative to selectively open and close pressurized air flow from the valve stem internal passageway into the tire cavity. The valve housing is connected to the air pumping means by the soft tubing and compression fittings for mitigating dynamic loading on the compression fittings.

An adapter connects to a valve to convert the valve to a uniform configuration for connection to a pump. In one application, a conventional Schrader or Presta valve has an adapter to convert the valve to a uniform configuration for connection to a pump. An attachment head of a pump engages and creates a seal with the adapter and has a release mechanism to disengage the attachment head from the adapter.

The present application provides a method for preventing wildfire in a target, the method comprising providing an aqueous composition comprising fire retardant and fibrillar cellulose and applying the aqueous composition to the target. The present application also provides an aqueous composition comprising fire retardant and fibrillar cellulose, and a container comprising the aqueous composition. The present application also provides use of the aqueous composition for preventing wildfire.

A multifunctional external inflating valve and a mounting method for a loading device are disclosed. An inflating valve body of the inflating valve includes a three-way through main body through from a side surface by a side surface connecting part connecting a loading device. A valve core is arranged in an axial middle hole. A hole cavity is formed in the front portion of the axial middle hole and connected to an original tire inflating valve. An outer conical surface is arranged on the front portion of the valve core. The front portion, comprising the outer conical surface, of the core protrudes out of the front end of the hole cavity of the main body. An core conical surface sealing rubber pipe is mounted on the outer conical surface of the core and seals the core and a conical hole sealing surface of a tire inflating valve inner hole cavity.

A valve stem for controlling inflation and deflation is provided. The valve stem includes a valve body having a central passage and a lateral port venting to the atmosphere. A valve core can be positioned within the central passage and configured to permit gas flow into the central passage. A collar is configured to surround an intermediate portion of the valve body, with the collar movable between a first position, where the collar occludes the lateral port to prohibit gas flow out of the lateral port, and a second position, where the collar opens the lateral port to permit gas flow from the central passage through the lateral port. A pressure set assembly can couple to the valve body and be set to a pressure at which the pressure set assembly closes to prohibit gas flow through the pressure set assembly and through the lateral port.
