Tyre Valve Air Chuck With Deflectable Fingers for Secure Sealing

The patent applies the dynamics principle by replacing the static fixed seal with a movable, spring-loaded seal that automatically adjusts its position. The seal is mounted on a shutoff valve mechanism that can move axially, allowing the seal to maintain continuous contact with the tyre valve surface without requiring manual pressure application. The spring mechanism provides automatic force application, eliminating the need for the operator to manually hold the air chuck in position.

The patent implements self-service through the spring-loaded seal mechanism that automatically maintains sealing contact. The spring continuously exerts force on the seal, causing it to self-adjust and maintain pressure against the tyre valve surface throughout the operation. This eliminates the need for operator intervention to maintain sealing pressure, allowing hands-free operation once the air chuck is attached.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the single locking blade into multiple separate locking elements (typically three or more blades arranged radially). This segmentation distributes the locking force across multiple contact points on the tyre valve threads, preventing any single blade from slipping or jumping over the threads under pressure. Each blade independently engages with the threads, providing redundant locking capability.

The patent implements dynamics by making the locking blades flexible and spring-loaded rather than rigid. The blades can deflect and adjust their position dynamically to accommodate variations in thread engagement, ensuring reliable locking without excessive force that could damage the threads. The spring loading provides continuous pressure while allowing for elastic deformation to absorb misalignment.

The patent resolves this contradiction by segmenting the single locking blade into multiple radial blades (typically three), maintaining relatively simple structure while significantly improving reliability. The multiple blades provide distributed engagement around the tyre valve stem, preventing slippage and thread damage under pressure while keeping each individual blade simple in design.

The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from single-side engagement to multi-radial engagement. Instead of one blade engaging from a single direction, multiple blades engage from different radial directions simultaneously, providing three-dimensional stability and preventing any single point of failure while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

The patent applies dynamics by using a spring-loaded seal mechanism that can automatically compensate for variations in thread length. The spring provides continuous axial force that pushes the seal against the tyre valve surface, and this force is maintained regardless of whether the threads are long or short. The dynamic spring mechanism adapts to different thread lengths automatically, eliminating the need for manual holding.

The patent implements universality by designing a seal mechanism that functions effectively across a wide range of thread lengths. The spring-loaded seal system is not dependent on specific thread length characteristics, making it universally applicable to different tyre valve designs whether they have long or short threads, thereby eliminating the need for operator intervention in either case.
