Abstract
An inflator valve connector includes a body, a guiding member and a lever. The body has a connecting end, an operating end and a guiding hole. The guiding member is rotatably and movably inserted through the guiding hole and is movable relative to the guiding hole between a first position and a second position. The guiding member has a pushing end, an inlet end and an air passage extending from the pushing end to the inlet end and communicating with the guiding hole. The lever is pivotally mounted to the operating end to selectively abut against the guiding member in a unlock position and a lock position, and the lever is configured to actuate the guiding member to move relative to the guiding hole.
Claims8
An inflator valve connector comprising:
- a body having a connecting end for connecting an air valve, an operating end opposite to the connecting end, and a guiding hole extending from the connecting end to the operating end, wherein the body is provided with an inner threaded portion formed on an inner wall surface of the guiding hole adjacent to the connecting end, and wherein the inner threaded portion is detachably engaged with an outer threaded portion of the air valve;
- a guiding member rotatably inserted through the guiding hole and movable relative to the guiding hole between a first position and a second position, wherein the guiding member has a pushing end for pushing a valve core of the air valve, an inlet end for connecting to a high pressure air source, and an air passage extending from the pushing end to the inlet end and communicating with the guiding hole;
- and
- a lever pivotally mounted to the operating end to selectively abut against the guiding member in a unlock position and a lock position, and wherein the lever is configured to actuate the guiding member to move relative to the guiding hole;
- wherein the body is configured to rotate relative to the guiding member to cause the inner threaded portion to engage with or disengage from the outer threaded portion of the air valve.
