Abstract
A tire inflation hose assembly for interconnecting a container of pressurized tire inflation material and a valve stem of a tire is provided. The hose assembly includes a release valve assembly for coupling to the container and for releasing the pressurized material contained therein. A flexible tube transports the released material to a nozzle which is adaptable for mating with the valve stem of the tire such that the pressurized material enters the tire when released by the release valve assembly. A pair of transverse pins secure the tube to the nozzle and the release valve assembly.
Claims7
A tire inflation hose assembly for interconnecting a container of pressurized tire inflation material and a valve stem of a tire, said hose assembly comprising:
- a release valve assembly for securing said hose assembly to said container and for releasing said pressurized material from said container;
- transport means for transporting said pressurized material from said release valve assembly;
- a first sleeve mounted on said transport means;
