Abstract
This invention provides a screw-on device for valve stems of automobile tires which will indicate to an automobile operator when a particular tire is under the selected standard psi. The indicator is a visible device that projects towards the outer end of the tubular member of the invention where it can be observed. The automobile operator thereupon adds air to the tire by the usual service station compressed air device and no tire guage is necessary to determine the right pressure. If insufficient pressure has been inserted in the tire the indicator will show up again, when the operator ceases adding air; if too much air has been added the device acts to relieve the excess pressure and the device will automatically close off relief flow when the standard pressure has been achieved. The pressure responsive mechanism is pre-calibrated to a particular pressure, for example 24 psi, 28 psi, 32 psi, etc.
