AUTOMATIC DEFLATOR VALVES WITH VORTEX-LIKE AIR FLOW WITH IMPROVED TIRE VALVE STEM CONNECTION
An improved deflator valve is described herein. The deflator valve has a main body with one or more ports, one or more vents, or port or vent slots for introducing air into or relieving pressure from within the main body in a vortex, circular flow. The deflator valve also includes a piston having an O-ring disposed around an outer circumference of the piston. The O-ring of the piston and the ports and vents are effective for reducing noise and deflation time and improving accuracy and ease of adjusting a pressure setting. The deflator valve can further include a dual or variable rate spring that can achieve an extensive destination pressure range. The deflator valve can also include a threadless lead in, fewer valve stem threads, or a lock chuck for enhanced valve stem attachment methods.
Valve stem support apparatus
A valve stem support apparatus for supporting a valve stem while attached to a pump includes a bracket having a bracket top side, a bracket right side and a bracket left side. The bracket top side has a valve aperture extending therethrough. The valve aperture slidingly receives a valve stem of a tire of a bicycle. Each of the bracket left side and the bracket right side has a screw aperture extending therethrough. A receiving distance between the bracket right side and the bracket left side is wider than a rim of the bicycle. A pair of thumb screws is coupled to the bracket. The pair of thumb screws is threadingly engaged with the screw apertures of the bracket left side and the bracket right side to engage the rim of the bicycle and secure the bracket.

ASSEMBLY FOR A TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM AND THE TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM MADE THEREWITH
An assembly for a tire inflation system includes a tire stem. A housing is engaged with a first end of the tire stem. The housing comprises a fluid conduit extending therethrough and a first adapter secured to a second adapter. The second adapter receives the first end of the tire stem and a first end of the first adapter. The first end of the tire stem and the first end of the first adapter abut each other. A valve is disposed in the fluid conduit and positioned within the first adapter. A depressor member is attacked to the first end of the first adapter and provided in the fluid conduit. The depressor member extends away from the valve and toward the tire stem. A seal member is disposed in a groove in the second adapter and provided around an outer surface of the tire stem.
Tire valve assembly
A tire valve assembly includes a stem and a valve unit. The valve unit includes a movable part and a seal member. When introducing pressurized air into the tire valve assembly, the valve unit moves to a position in the stem to allow the pressurized air to flow into the tire. When the pressurized air is stopped from entering the tire valve assembly, the valve unit is pushed back by the pressure in the tire to seal the inlet so that the pressurized air in the tire does not leak to keep the tire pressure.

System, apparatus and method for adjusting air pressure in a tire
A pressure adjustment device for adjusting air pressure within a tire of a vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a housing formed of a cap and a base and including a piston, a spring and an air valve, wherein the cap includes an air inlet and the base includes an air outlet that is in fluid communication with the neck, wherein the piston moves proximally to compress the spring in response to a presence of a centrifugal force due to the vehicle traveling at least at a predetermined speed, where the proximal movement of the piston activates the air valve thereby enabling fluid to flow into the housing, and where the spring is configured to decompress when the centrifugal force decreases thereby deactivating the air valve and compressing the fluid within the housing distally out the air outlet toward the tire.
DEVICE FOR ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE IN TIRES
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, where 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 for adjustment of pressure in tires 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 of the tire perimeter, where the volume of the chamber before deformation to volume of the chamber during deformation ratio is the same or higher then the desired tire pressure to pressure of the external environment ratio.
