Patent GB-189711467-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Valves for Pneumatic Tyres and the like.
Inventor: HARRISON THOMAS
Filed: 1897-05-08
Granted: 1898-03-26
Abstract: 11,467. Harrison, T. May 8. Tyres, pneumatic, inflating-valves for. Relates to improvements in valves of the type described in Specification No. 5605, A.D. 1897. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the act of screwing the inflator on the shank t of the casing T causes the latter to withdraw the valve V from its seating against the action of the spring Z. Air passes the non-return valve R<1> through the ports b and past the valve V to the tyre. On removing the inflator the spring is again allowed to keep the valve V closed. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the part T has right and left handed screw threads, on which a screwed part E is fixed. When the inflator is attached, the valve V is opened while the valve S is shut. After inflation the reverse direction of motion first closes the valve V, after which the inflator screws off.
