A method of inflating a vehicle tire, having an internal volume between about 10 gallons and about 12 gallons, includes discharging compressed air into the internal volume with an inflator. The inflator has an inflator housing, a motor within the inflator housing defining a motor axis and including an output shaft rotatable about the motor axis, a DC power source configured to provide power to the motor at a nominal output voltage, and a pump within the inflator housing and coupled to the output shaft. The pump includes a cylinder defining a cylinder axis and a piston that is reciprocable within the cylinder along the cylinder axis in response to rotation of the output shaft. By discharging compressed air into the internal volume, increasing a static pressure of the internal volume by 5 pounds per square inch (psi) from a starting pressure in the internal volume between 28 psi and 31 psi occurs within 40 to 60 seconds.

A Presta valve connector includes a housing and a stripping assembly rotatably connected to the housing. The housing is provided with a channel and an airtight ring having a connection hole. The airtight ring and the stripping assembly are disposed at two opposite ends of the channel. One end of the stripping assembly is disposed in the channel, and another end of the stripping assembly is exposed out of the channel. One end of the stripping assembly is provided with a driving groove faced to the connection hole. The driving groove is provided with a first driving face formed as a plane.

A parking lot management device which manages a parking lot includes an acquisition unit and a parking management unit. The acquisition unit acquires stop reservation information regarding a reservation for stopping a vehicle in the parking lot from a terminal device of a user of the vehicle or the vehicle. The parking management unit sets one of the plurality of parking spaces as a parking space for stopping the vehicle according to the scheduled stop time of the vehicle in the parking lot based on the stop reservation information acquired by the acquisition unit. The parking lot is divided into a plurality of parking areas, each having one or more accommodation positions, and the parking management unit sets an accommodation position included in the parking areas corresponding to the scheduled stop time among the plurality of parking areas as an accommodation position for stopping the vehicle.

An anti-spray structure for a connection of an air nozzle of a tire of a vehicle and a connection hose of an air compressor, and the air compressor contains: a box, a sealant supply can, and a connection hose. The box accommodates the air compressor. The sealant supply can includes an open segment and a supply tube. The connection hose includes a first segment and a second segment. The second segment has an anti-spray connector including a fitting sleeve. The fitting sleeve has a threaded orifice, a through orifice, and a projected shoulder. A cylindrical base includes a cylindrical room, a stepped coupling segment, a conduit, and a first stepped portion. A first spring is received into the cylindrical room. A valve bolt includes a post, a connecting disc, spaced slots, and a first seal ring. A lock element includes a hollow cavity, a hexagonal tab, and a tilted extension.

An inflation pump including a body having a cylinder and a head integrally formed with the cylinder. The cylinder includes a pressurizing space. The head includes a through-hole extending along a longitudinal axis. An intercommunication passage is disposed between and intercommunicates with the through-hole and the pressurizing space. A pressurizing unit is slidably received in the pressurizing space and is reciprocally slidable relative to the body. A nozzle unit includes a pressing device disposed in the through-hole. The pressing device includes a push seat having a check ring. The check ring includes an inner side abutting against the push seat and an outer side abutting against a portion of an inner periphery of the through-hole. The portion of the inner periphery of the through-hole is located between the intercommunication passage and the coupling end. The check ring permits air to flow only from the intercommunication passage towards the coupling end.

A method of inflating a tire of a vehicle includes connecting the vehicle to an external air pump, using a connection, to provide communication of information between the vehicle and the external air pump. The method also includes transmitting information from the vehicle to the external air pump over the connection and controlling the external air pump based upon the communicated information to provide air to a vehicle tire, connected to the air pump, until the communicated information indicates that the tire has reached a desired pressure level, at which point the air pump ceases provision of air to the vehicle tire.

A tire inflation and pressure monitoring tool includes a handheld power tool having a manually-activated switch and a rotationally-driven bit. The switch is selectively operated to drive the bit either clockwise or counterclockwise. The bit is configured to be engageable with and retain a valve stem cover on a tire valve stem. The tool further includes a tire inflator having a first end, a second end, a hollow void extending along the length. The first end and the second end are in fluid communication with one another. The first end has an air chuck for delivering air into a tire via a tire valve stem, while the second end is configured to receive pressurized air from a source of compressed air. The tire inflator further has a pressure gauge for displaying a pressure of air inside the tire inflator.

A portable inflation device having a pump, a control device, a user interface, and an inflation indicator. The pump includes an elongated hose with an inflation nozzle. The control device controls operation of the pump and is configured to sense a current pressure of an object, calculate the estimated remaining time to inflate the object to a target pressure, and display the remaining time using the inflation indicator. The user interface is configured to allow a user to enter the target pressure into the control device.

A method for inflating a tyre mounted on a corresponding wheel rim comprises the following steps in sequence; placing a tool at an operating position, where a first bead of the tyre is interposed between the tool and a second bead of the tyre, and one end of tool is positioned axially between a first flange of the rim and a first rib of the rim and positioned radially between an outside surface of the rim and a tread of the tyre; blowing a gas under pressure through an inflation valve of the tyre into a chamber delimited by the tyre and by the rim, with the tool at the operating position, so that the first sidewall of the tyre is pressed against the end of the tool; removing the tool from the operating position.
