VALVE DEVICE FOR PNEUMATIC TYRE INCLUDING PRESSURE SENSOR

摘要

A valve device (10) for a pneumatic tyre (12) having an upper and lower desired inflation pressure. The valve device includes a main body (16) having an inlet port (18) adapted for sealed engagement with a compressed air supply (20) and an outlet port (22) adapted for sealed engagement with the pneumatic tyre. At least one pressure sensor (24) for sensing the pressure in the pneumatic tyre and an electrical indicating means operatively associated with the at least one pressure sensor is also provided for indicating to a user when the pressure in the pneumatic tyre is below the lower desired inflation pressure or above the upper desired inflation pressure.
