Abstract: A carrier for protective sports helmets having ear holes is disclosed. The carrier is also capable of carrying other types of equipment. The carrier is a telescopic pole of two sections with a compression knob which allows the pole to be locked at a particular length. A fabric strap with swivel hooks is attached to a ring at either end of the pole. The fabric strap has a pad which makes the invention easier to carry on the shoulder of the user. The user will detach one end of the fabric strap and slide the telescopic pole through the ear holes of the protective helmets. The user will then reattach the fabric strap and use the fabric strap to carry the pole and helmets.

Abstract: The described device maintains an equal pressure in each associated tire as long as that pressure is above an adjustable, threshold amount and isolates the tires when the pressure attempts to go below the threshold. The apparatus comprises a body with ports (each communicating with a tire) having in series a conventional tire valve (each of which is actuated simultaneously by one pressure sensitive piston). One end of each of the conventional tire valves communicates with a chamber in the body that can be pressurized.
