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.

A wheel valve assembly having a body portion coupled with a cover portion. A diaphragm disposed between the body portion and the cover portion. A first biasing member disposed between the cover portion and the diaphragm in a cover cavity defined thereby. A control cavity defined by the body portion and the diaphragm, and at least one control port defined by the body portion and in fluid communication with the control cavity. A tire port defined by the body portion and in selective fluid communication with the control cavity. A first and second conduit disposed in the body portion in fluid communication with a third and fourth conduit disposed in the cover portion. An equalization valve assembly disposed in one of the conduits to control fluid communication between the cover cavity and the control cavity.

The present invention relates to a valve for inflatable apparatuses. The valve comprises a housing, a sealing disc and a handle. The handle is coupled to the sealing disc, and is adapted for rotating the sealing disc within the housing.

A valve assembly for a central tire inflation system is provided. The valve assembly includes a first housing having a first port connected to a second port via a cavity. The second port is in fluid communication with a wheel assembly. A biasing member is disposed in the cavity adjacent a first perforation formed in the first housing. A valve member is contacted by the biasing member. The valve member includes a first frustoconical portion having a continuous outer surface connected to a second portion having a continuous outer surface, a first end connected to the second portion and a second end connected to the first frustoconical portion wherein the continuous outer surfaces of the first frustoconical portion and the second portion allow a pressurized fluid to flow between the housing and the outer surfaces of the valve member.

A concrete flow leakage-preventing shut-off valve includes an outer flexible casing configured to be disposed around a concrete delivery hose. A flexible inflatable bladder is disposed within the casing and defines a gas chamber therein. A gas intake/exhaust device extends through the casing and into the gas chamber such that pressurized gas introduced and exhausted from the gas chamber enables movement of the bladder to define closed and open concrete flow conditions of concrete relative to an outlet end of the hose. A clamping arrangement secures opposite ends of the casing and the bladder in radially and axially spaced apart relationship, and is configured to maintain a surrounding relationship of the casing and bladder with respect to the hose.
