Patent number: 9057656Abstract: A pressure indication device is provided to connect to an inflation mechanism of an inflation machine. The pressure indication device includes a hollow tubular body in which a push bock is received in a manner of being movable by a pressure conducted into the hollow tubular body and connected to a linearly movable plate and biased by an elastic element. The hollow tubular body has a tubular wall forming a pressure relief hole at a preset position corresponding to a maximum allowable pressure level. A scale bar having graduations is provided along a moving path of the plate. The elastic force of compression of the elastic element serves as a reaction force (restoration and returning force) for the linear movement of the plate. A pressure conducted into the hollow tubular body from the inflation machine drives the plate to move and thus indicates the pressure level.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2013Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Inventor: Chi-Wen Chen
