## Abstract

A tire chuck adaptor is an apparatus that allows a single user to easily fill a motorcycle tire with air. The tire chuck adaptor includes a sleeve, an extension coupler, an orientation coupler, an air chuck, a valve, a bearing, and a chuck receiving window. The sleeve contains the extension coupler, the orientation coupler, the valve, and the bearing. The valve allows a standard tire chuck to be engaged to the tire chuck adaptor. The bearing allows the valve to rotate within the sleeve. The extension coupler extends the connection between the valve and the standard tire chuck. The orientation coupler changes the connection orientation between the valve and the standard tire chuck. The air chuck allows the tire chuck adaptor to engage with a standard tire valve. The chuck receiving window allows a user to access the valve to engage with a standard tire chuck.
