Claim 0:
1. An automatic tire inflator assembly for inflating a tire to a pre-determined pressure, said assembly comprising:
an input hose being fluidly attachable to an air source wherein said input hose is configured to receive compressed air from the air source;
an output hose being fluidly attachable to an air stem of an inflatable tire;
a control unit being fluidly coupled to said input hose wherein said control unit is configured to receive the compressed air from the air source, said control unit being fluidly coupled to said output hose wherein said control unit is configured to inflate the inflatable tire, said control unit sensing air pressure for sensing the pressure of the compressed air received from the air source;
a gauge being fluidly coupled to said control unit wherein said gauge is configured to receive the compressed air, said gauge being settable to determine said pre-determined threshold pressure, said control unit being turned off when said gauge measures air pressure that exceeds said pre-determined threshold pressure wherein said control unit is configured to inflate the inflatable tire to a desired air pressure;
wherein said input hose has a first end and a second end, said second end having a quick release coupler being fluidly coupled thereto, said quick release coupler for releasably engaging the air source to fluidly couple said input hose to the air source;
wherein said output hose has a primary end and a secondary end, said secondary end having a quick release coupler for releasably engaging the air stem to fluidly couple said output hose to the air stem;
wherein said control unit comprises
a housing, said housing having a pair of longitudinal sides and a pair of ends extending between said pair of longitudinal sides, said input hose extending from one of said ends of said housing, said housing having an air conduit being integrated therein, said air conduit having an intake and an exhaust, said first end of said input hose being fluidly coupled to said intake, said primary end of said output hose being fluidly coupled to said exhaust, and
a control circuit being positioned in said housing, said control circuit receiving a shut off input, and
a power switch being movably coupled to said housing, said power switch being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said power switch turning said control circuit on and off; and

wherein said gauge is coupled to said housing such that said gauge is positioned offset from said housing adjacent to said input hose, said gauge having a rotatable bezel, a pressure needle and a threshold needle, said rotatable bezel being rotatable around said gauge thereby facilitating said threshold needle to be aligned with a desired pressure displayed on said gauge for determining said pre-determined threshold pressure, said gauge being electrically coupled to said control circuit thereby facilitating said control circuit to communicate said pre-determined threshold pressure to said pressure sensor.
