  • Patent number: 8967182
    Abstract: A tire valve (1) having a valve channel (11) with a valve body (10) enclosing a valve seat (15), having at least one connecting piece (9) for connecting the valve body (10) to a valve base (2) is disclosed. The valve body (10) has a valve part (12) inserted in the valve channel (11) and displaceable in the axial direction therein, sealingly bearing against the valve seat (15) of the valve body (10) in the closed position of valve (1). The connecting piece (9) of the valve body (10) is placed in a connecting segment (8) at a distance in the axial direction from the functional valve segment of the valve body (10), and the valve body (10) is implemented as a single piece.

  • Patent number: 6336481
    Abstract: A unit (1) for deflating and/or inflating tires (42-49) has a regulating device (2) that has an air input (6) for connection to a compressed-air source (65) and at least one air output (8, 9) for connection to air-pressure lines (10, 11, 16, 17, 18-25). The regulating device (2) has a regulating member (67) with which a specific working pressure is implemented in the air-pressure lines (10, 11, 16, 17, 18-25) after connection to the tires. (42-49). The regulating member (67) is connected to a manually actuable adjusting device (57) with which different predetermined working pressures are established. The adjusting device (57) has at least two manually actuable switching members (59, 60, 61), each of which is associated with one of the different predetermined working pressures. Actuation of a switching member allows the regulating member (67) to be respectively adjusted to the respective predetermined working pressure associated with the switching member (59, 60, 61).
