Abstract: The invention discloses a skateboard wheel tyre, including an annular cover tyre, embedded parts and a first connector, wherein the first connector is located on the inner side of the annular cover tyre, and a cavity is formed therebetween; n second connectors are disposed in the cavity, wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the second connector is connected to the annular cover tyre and the first connector; the annular cover tyre, the first connector and the n second connectors are integrally formed from the same material; the embedded parts are embedded into gaps among the annular cover tyre, the first connector and the n second connectors to fill the gaps, and the embedded parts are made from a material which is the same as the annular cover tyre in type but different in color and hardness.

Abstract: A tire inflation valve associable with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor includes a stem ending in a head equipped with a head body and an adjustable insert associable with the TPMS sensor by a connection element and hinged to the head body to rotate about a transverse axis and allow position adjustment of the TPMS sensor. The adjustable insert allows modifying inclination of the TPMS sensor according to different use conditions.

Abstract: A fluid impervious stitching method for a seam of a vapor-permeable virus-barrier laminate. The laminate comprises: at least one thermoplastic resin fiber layer; at least one vapor-permeable virus-barrier thermoplastic elastomer film layer; and a bonding layer located between the two layers and formed of an adhesive capable of being fused with the two layers. In the stitching method, overlapping or stacking is performed to form a seam, and heat sealing is performed on the laminate at the seam. The temperature of heat sealing is higher than the melting point of a material layer having the highest melting point in the laminate, but lower than the temperature at which perforation or decomposition occurs in any material layer in the laminate. The heat-stitched seam has excellent windproof, vapor-permeable, virus barrier and liquid-barrier performance, has a smooth appearance without wrinkles, and feels soft. Also provided is a protective textile product prepared by means of the stitching method.
