Valves for inflating tires of tired wheels, in particular tires for vehicles, wherein the term 'vehicles' refers to motor vehicles, vans, trucks, motorcycles or in general elements of locomotion on tires. More in detail, a metal valve () of the clamp-in type for inflating tires () associable with a TPMS transducer () by a locking screw () and arranged to be mounted, by a fixing system including a nut () adapted to screw onto a thread () provided on the stem () of the valve (), on a rim () of a wheel, wherein the fixing system includes an element () that irreversibly yields when a preset tightening torque is reached for the locking nut (), and wherein the element () that irreversibly yields is associated with the stem () of the valve ().

Metal valve of the clamp-in type for inflating tyres associable with a TPMS transducer

Disclosed are valves for inflating the tires of rubber wheels, in particular of vehicles, where the term vehicles is intended as motor vehicles, trucks, motorcycles or in general road transport vehicles. More in detail, the a valve () of snap-in type for rubber wheels includes: a hollow valve body () of cylindrical shape arranged for connecting the inside of the rubber wheels with the outside environment and allowing passage of air; an actuating mechanism () of the valve () arranged inside the valve body (); a rubber ring (), suitably shaped, arranged for partially covering the valve body (), wherein the valve body () includes at least one portion () made of plastic material.

Snap-in valve for rubber wheels

A valve for inflating tires of tired wheels associable with a transducer provided with electronic sensors for detection and transmission of certain operating parameters of the tire. The valve is arranged for being mounted on a rim of a wheel for vehicles so that the valve projects outside the rim and the transducer is positioned within a chamber delimited by the tire and by the rim. The valve includes signaling units which, once the valve has been mounted, are visible from the outside of the wheel. The signaling units are correlated univocally with the orientation of the transducer, and are arranged for indicating the position assumed by the transducer inside said chamber.

Tyre inflation valve connectable to a transducer

Inflation valve having a tube and designed for use in an assembly consisting of a tire and a wheel, the valve having: (i) snap-in mechanism that enable the valve to be fixed in a cylindrical hole of circular cross-section formed in a rim of the wheel; (ii) mechanism suitable for receiving a torque intended to rotate the valve in the hole; (iii) an attachment piece provided with a mechanism for attaching the valve to a unit designed to be fitted inside the tire; the mechanism the valve to be attached to the unit being such that the attachment piece is separated from the unit when the valve is rotated in the hole in a predetermined rotation direction.
