Claim Text:
1. A connector structure for a Schrader (American) valve or a Presta (French) valve comprising an air connector connected with a Schrader (American) valve or a Presta (French) valve to inflate the air, the Schrader (American) valve including Schrader (American) threads arranged around an outer peripheral side thereof and a Schrader (American) inlet part disposed on an end portion thereof; the Presta (French) valve including Presta (French) threads arranged around an outer peripheral side thereof and a Presta (French) inlet part disposed on an end portion thereof, and the air connector comprising: a body, and the body including a Schrader (American) inserting hole mounted on one end thereof and having a Schrader (American) screwing section, a Presta (French) inserting hole, an outer diameter of which is less than an outer diameter of the Schrader (American) inserting hole, and the Presta (French) inserting hole being spaced a distance away from an inner end of the Schrader (American) inserting hole; the body also including a movable groove communicating with the Presta (French) inserting hole, an air intake communicating with the Schrader (American) inserting hole, the Presta (French) inserting hole and the movable groove, at least one through orifice defined around an outer side of the Presta (French) inserting hole and passing through the Presta (French) inserting hole; a limiting block matching with and fixed in the at least one through orifice and moving into or out of the at least one through orifice, the limiting block including a retaining segment correspond to the Presta (French) inserting hole and having plural locking teeth for engaging with the includes Presta (French) threads of the Presta (French) valve, and a defining segment secured on the limiting block; a control set disposed on the body and controlling the defining segment of the limiting block, so the plural locking teeth of the retaining segment of the limiting block moves in or away from the Presta (French) inserting hole; a stopping rod mounted in and limited by the movable groove of the body, the stopping rod including a confining slot and an abutting segment which correspond to the Schrader (American) inserting hole, the stopping rod being provided to flow the air, and the abutting segment also corresponding to the Schrader (American) inlet part; wherein when the air connector is connected with the Schrader (American) valve to inflate the air, the stopping rod is pushed to move toward the Schrader (American) inserting hole, the retaining segment of the limiting block moves into the Presta (French) inserting hole and engages with the confining slot, and the defining segment of the limiting block is limited by the control set to prevent the retaining segment moving away from the confining slot, when the Schrader (American) threads of the Schrader (American) valve are rotatably engaged in the Schrader (American) inserting hole of the body, the Schrader (American) inlet part is opened by the abutting segment of the stopping rod so that the Schrader (American) valve inflates the air; when the air connector is connected with the Presta (French) valve to inflate the air, the Presta (French) valve couples with the Presta (French) inserting hole of the body, the Presta (French) threads engage with the locking teeth of the limiting block, the stopping rod is pushed by the Presta (French) valve to move backward, the defining segment of the limiting block is limited by the control set to prevent the locking teeth disengagement from the Presta (French) threads, and the Presta (French) threads is opened by air inflating pressure so that the air is inflated into the Presta (French) valve.
