Abstract: A tire inflation system safety valve includes at least an air line disposed between a rotary union and a tire communicating with an axle supporting a hubcap, the rotary union axially aligned with the axle and mounted to the hubcap. The air line facilitating pressurized air transferred between the rotary union and the tire. The tire inflation system safety valve including at least a valve housing providing a valve activation chamber, a fluid conduit, supported by the valve housing, having a downstream end and an upstream end and in fluid communication with the valve activation chamber, and a diaphragm disposed within the valve activation chamber and communicating with the fluid conduit. The diaphragm, in response to the pressurized air of a predetermined pressure, automatically precludes air transfer between the upstream end of the fluid conduit and the downstream end of the fluid conduit.

Abstract: A printer for printing graphic and alphanumeric information on plastic disks utilizing a printhead having a line array of print pixels. The printhead is pivotally mounted and has an adjustable force mechanism to urge the line array of print pixels into contact with a plastic disk; the plastic disk is mounted on a movable carriage which linearly passes beneath the printhead and the adjustable force mechanism exerts a variable force which is a function of the position of the disk beneath the printhead.
