  • Patent number: 6561233
    Abstract: A combined compressed air blow gun and tire inflation chuck is disclosed. The tire inflation chuck is fixed to a wand mounted to a handle in which a valve operated by a trigger controls flow of compressed air to the chuck. The chuck includes opposing tire stem receiving openings. An internal plunger in the chuck permits flow of compressed air from the wand through one opening of the chuck when no tire stem is inserted in either tire stem receiving opening in the chuck. When a tire stem is inserted in either opening of the chuck, compressed air is prevented by the plunger from passing to the opposing end of the chuck.
