Various multifunctional dispensing systems with overhead fuel/air delivery and methods for using the same are provided. Such a system can include a dispenser system and an overhead delivery unit suspended on tracks above a vehicle drive aisle at a fueling station. The overhead delivery unit can include a fuel dispensing nozzle and an air dispensing nozzle that can be moved about the tracks so as to optimally position the nozzles to be approximately overhead the fuel doors and tires, respectively. Such an arrangement allows a customer to refuel their vehicle and inflate their tire(s) without moving their car between each transaction.

A valve connector includes a housing and a pressing device. The housing includes an operative end, a coupling end, and a through-hole extending from the operative end through the coupling end. The pressing device includes a push seat received in the through-hole and located between the lever and the coupling end and a lever abutting against the push seat and pivotably connected to the housing. The push seat includes a first passageway. The lever includes a second passageway and is operable to move the push seat. When the lever is in a release position, the first passageway does not intercommunicate with the second passageway. When the lever moves from the release position to a locking position, the push seat moves towards the coupling end, and the first passageway intercommunicates with the second passageway when the lever is in the locking position.

A pressurized fluid supply apparatus and method of supplying pressurized fluid is provided. The pressurized fluid supply apparatus includes a housing configured to rotate about an axis, at least one fluid pump coupled to the housing and configured to pressurize a fluid therein, and at least one movable element disposed within the housing. The at least one movable element is configured to move within the housing when the housing rotates about the axis, which causes the at least one movable element to be in periodic driving engagement with the at least one fluid pump to cause the fluid to be pressurized.

An air chuck includes a body and a valve core interface. The body includes output, interface, and input ports. The body defines a first passageway that extends between the output and interface ports. The input port defines a second passageway that is in fluid communication with the first passageway. The valve core interface is slidably coupled with the body and is slidable between extended and retracted positions. The valve core interface includes a shaft and a knob. The shaft includes proximal and distal ends. The distal end is at least partially disposed in the first passageway. The knob is coupled with the proximal end of the shaft. The shaft is rotatably coupled with the body and is selectively rotatable in either tightening or loosening directions via the knob. The distal end of the shaft comprises a grasping feature that is configured to grasp a valve core of a valve stem.

A rotary air pipe connecting an air outlet of an inflator includes a pipe body, a sleeve with an inner wall and an outer wall, and a first sealing ring. The pipe body has main body and a bottom portion, a top of the main body is provided with a joint, a bottom portion has a front portion and a back portion. The bottom portion passes through the sleeve, the front portion fits the inner wall of the sleeve, the back portion extends out of the sleeve. The bottom portion can rotate around an axial direction of the pipe body in the sleeve; the bottom surface of the sleeve is provided with a thread connecting with the front wall. The back portion is movably inserted into the air outlet, the first sealing ring is sleeved with the back portion, the first sealing ring fits the back wall.

The Garage Air-N-Vac Station is an integrated wall-mounted vacuum, blower, and air compressor. The integrated system includes provisions for wall-mounting, tool and accessory storage, a wand hanger, and hose hangers for the combined vacuum/blower hose as well as the compressed air hose. The vacuum and blower sections of the machine are powered by a combination vacuum/blower motor, with the vacuum function utilizing the intake side of the vacuum/blower motor, and the blower function utilizing the discharge side of the vacuum/blower motor. A tankless compressor provides compressed air at full capacity. The machine is operated by a single 3-way control switch (On-Off-On) to activate either the vacuum/blower function or the compressor function. The elements that make this invention new and novel relate to its multi-function capabilities, combined with the integrated wall-mounting, tool, and hose storage system that has been optimized for ease of installation, convenience of use, organization, and appearance.

A wheeled tire includes a tire, and a wheel disposed on the tire. A space between the tire and the wheel is filled with a filler gas. The filler gas includes nitrogen gas having a concentration equal to or greater than a concentration of nitrogen gas in air, and hydrogen gas having a concentration of 0.5% or more. A concentration of oxygen gas in the filler gas is less than a concentration of oxygen gas in air.
