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.
Check joint structure for connection of air nozzle of tire and connection hose of air compressor
A check joint structure for a connection of an air nozzle of a tire and a connection hose of an air compressor, the air compressor contains: a box, a sealant supply can, and a connection hose. The box includes a body of 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 a check connector which includes a fitting sleeve, and 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 to abut against the first stepped portion. A valve bolt includes a contacting element, at least one cutout, a head, a conical rib, and a neck.
Motor Vehicle
A motor vehicle (10, 100) with a chassis (20, 120), a plurality of wheels (12, 14, 16, 18) with pneumatic tyres (14a) and an on-board compressed air system (40, 140) for supplying pneumatic operating devices of motor vehicle (10, 100), includes at least one brake circuit (44) and/or one air suspension system (46), an emergency system (60, 160) for temporary pressurisation of the tyres in the event of a flat tyre, including compressed air connections (62, 64, 66, 68; 162, 164, 166, 168) installed permanently on the motor vehicle, each one having a flexible compressed air hose (70) for connection with a tyre valve (14b) and may be stored entirely in the motor vehicle (10, 100) and extracted from it in the event of a flat tyre, and which is supplied by the on-board compressed air system (40, 140).
System for Managing Tire Pressures of a Vehicle
A tire management system is provided for automatically inflating and deflating tires of a vehicle. The system comprises: couplings, for releasably coupling to each of the tires of the vehicle; an inlet, for receiving compressed gas, the inlet selectively couplable to the couplings for inflating the tires of the vehicle; an outlet, selectively couplable to the couplings for deflating the tires of the vehicle; and a controller, configured to receive a desired target pressure for one or more of the tires and automatically couple the inlet or outlet to the one or more tires to achieve the target pressure. The tires are grouped into two or more groups of tires, and wherein the controller is configurable to inflate and/or deflate the tires according to the groups of tires.
Nozzle Adapter for Presta Valve
A nozzle adapter for a Presta valve contains: a connection seat, at least one control element, at least one returning element, a seal cover, and a controlling means. The connection seat includes an imaginary axis line, an inlet, an outlet, an air stop ring, a conduit, an engagement position, a coupling slot, and a stopping means. A respective control element has a fixing shaft, an engaging portion, and a controlled portion. The at least one returning element is arranged on the at least one control element. The seal cover is fixed outside the coupling slot, and an airtight space is defined in the coupling slot. The controlling means mounted on a center of the connection seat opposite to the inlet and in the conduit of the airtight space to move with the controlled portion.
Inflation manifold
An inflation manifold connected to dual pneumatic tires by air hoses provides a central location for tire inflation and location of pressure sensors. A hose block connected to dual pneumatic tires by air hoses provides a central location for location of pressure sensors. The pressure sensors may be TPMS sensors or a combination of TPMS sensor and pressure gauge.
You got air!
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.
PNEUMATIC VALVE ADAPTOR
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.
PNEUMATIC CHUCK INCLUDING VALVE CORE INTERFACE
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.
