A novel valve mechanism is disclosed which eliminates the need for a conventional cap normally associated with prior art valve and valve stem assemblies for pneumatic tires. The valve stem embodies a core with an elastomeric member to prevent ingress and egress of a fluid through the valve stem. The elastomeric member can be a normally collapsed flexible tube or a resealable septa. |

A pneumatic tire inflation device and method is disclosed, the device comprising an arrangement of parts that enables its user to selectively gradually inflate a tire at a specified intermediate rate and pressure, and then to selectively suddenly continue such inflation at a substantially greater rate and pressure until complete inflation is achieved. |

An apparatus including a stem is provided for introducing gas under pressure from a source of pressurized gas into a container. The stem defines a main passageway and has at least one aperture for bleeding gas from the passageway directly to the atmosphere, while gas is simultaneously introduced into the container through the passageway. The number of apertures and size of the apertures vary, depending on the predetermined container pressure desired. The apparatus can be adapted to be removably mounted on, for example, the valve stem of a pneumatic tire. Alternatively, the apparatus can be formed integrally with the valve stem of a pneumatic tire. In a further embodiment, the apparatus is adapted to inflate, for example, basketballs, footballs, and the like. |

A clamp-in valve for a road vehicle which can be inserted and removed from the outside of the wheel instead of from the inside consists of a valve stem flanged at one end with a rubber grommet at that end, the grommet being flanged at its end remote from the valve stem flange, and retaining means for pressing on the flange of the grommet. The diameter of the flange of the valve stem is smaller than the diameter of the aperture of the wheel into which the valve is to be inserted. The retaining means can be washer and nut or a lock washer engaging in a groove or rib of the valve stem and held by, for example, a screw-on dust cap with an elongate skirt. The flanged end of the valve stem is inserted through the wheel aperture and the retaining means tightened so that the rubber grommet is compressed to seal and clamp the valve stem in the aperture. The valve may be used with tubeless tires or tubed tires having a modified rubber spud for attachment to the tube. |

A hammering tool for use by a vehicle driver to pound against a tire so to shock the tire valve and make certain that it is not stuck so a tire pressure reading can be obtained, the tool consisting essentially of a hammer head on the end of a handle that can be held in the hand when pounding the tire.

HUGHES G |
This is a means for sealing an inner tubing within a casing, or tire, particularly for wheel rims having two pieces, such as on trucks, and having means for sealing the inner tube in the casing consisting of a flexible seal between the casing and rim and means for preventing air leakage from the casing in the event of rupture of the inner tube, comprising a lock for said flexible member anchoring the flexible member to the wheel rim, and covering the valve stem opening in the rim, and having means for introducing air between said inner tube and said flexible member to accomplish the desired seal.

The valve stem of an assembled and inflated pneumatic tire and wheel assembly is equipped with a frangible seal, the seal being so constructed and arranged that such must be destroyed before air can again be placed in the assembly. In the method the destructible seal is used with a record system to ensure the proprietor that he is receiving pay for tire installations and repairs made by his employees, and to give a guarantee to the customer.
