Abstract: The reel compatible multi-chuck air hose may allow a user to simultaneously inflate multiple tires while providing a lighter and easily stored form factor. The reel compatible multi-chuck air hose may provide four air chucks in series, as opposed to in parallel, with an air source connector at its first end, instead of in the middle of the line. Each of the four air chucks may be connected to the primary hose by a T-connector and may be stored within a dock to keep the air chuck in line with the primary hose. By this design the reel compatible multi-chuck air hose can be rolled around a storage reel for easy storage.

Abstract: A flow control device includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet and a flow conduit disposed in the housing. The inlet, the flow conduit, and the outlet define a flow passage. A valve seat is disposed in the housing downstream of the inlet, and a shuttle is movably disposed in the housing and displaceable between a closed position engaging the valve seat to close the flow passage and an open position spaced from the valve seat to open the flow passage. A sealed chamber is defined between the housing and the flow conduit. A port coupled with a source of pressurized fluid communicates with the sealed chamber, where the shuttle is displaceable between the closed position and the open position based on a pressure in the sealed chamber. The threshold water pressure for displacing the flow conduit may be adjustable by modifying the pressure in the sealed chamber.
