Inflation valve for the rim of a tyre on a vehicle
DRIVE
February 27, 2002
The valve body (12) is accommodated inside a coaxial positioned rigid case (56), preferably made of metal. Both parts are joined with an elastic middle section (44), enabling the case to be slightly tilted in relation to the longitudinal axis (A). The elastic middle segment is kept close to a hollow shaft (28), which is part of the valve body, by friction with one end and envelopes with its other end the opposite segment of the case. The valve (10) can be slightly bent in its center area, facilitating an easy manipulation of the device.
