Abstract: A chuck for connecting a pressure device to a valve stem of a pressurized vessel includes a body portion having a first passageway that is configured to receive an outer tube portion of a valve stem of a pressurized vessel therein. The body portion has a guide portion at an inner end of the first passageway. A pin element is movably disposed within a second passageway of the body portion and is movable along the coaxial passageways. The pin element extends longitudinally from the guide portion and toward an engaging end of the body portion. The guide portion includes an alignment element at least partially around the second passageway and extending longitudinally toward the engaging end of the body portion and at least partially around the pin element for engaging and supporting an interior portion of the end of the outer tube portion of the valve stem.

Abstract: A tire pressure gauge includes a casing, conduits and a pressure indicator. The conduits are in fluid communication with one another, and are connectable to respective valves of tires of a vehicle. The pressure indicator is operable to provide an indication that is indicative of the pressure in at least one of the tires of the vehicle when at least one of conduits is interconnected with at least one valve of the tires. The tire pressure gauge may include an illumination source operable to automatically illuminate the pressure indicator in response to at least one triggering event that is indicative of the tire pressure gauge being interconnected with the valves of the vehicle tires. The tire pressure gauge may include an inlet port for connecting the tire pressure gauge and conduits to a pressurized supply line for inflating the tires.
