         BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
         [0004]    1. Field of the Invention  
           [0005]    The field of the invention is a provision of a stabilizing means for a valve stem for an inner tube. In particular, the invention is a stabilizing means for a valve stem for an inner tube for a bicycle tire.  
           [0006]    2. Description of the Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98  
           [0007]    There is no closely related art to the subject invention.  
           [0008]    For years there has been used a cover for valve stems on inner tubes. The valve stem may be attached to an inner tube or to the rim of a wheel. The cover precludes dirt getting into the valve stem.  
         BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
         [0009]    A bicycle comprises a bicycle wheel, a rim, an inner tube, and a bicycle tire.  
           [0010]    In the rim there is a hole for receiving the valve stem of the inner tube.  
           [0011]    If the air pressure in the inner tube becomes low, then the inner tube and the rim may move and slip with respect to each other. The valve stem is in the hole in the rim and the inner tube moves with respect to the rim. The valve stem may be sheared off of the inner tube or a hole may develop adjacent to the connection of the valve stem with the inner tube. As a result, the inner tube will leak and will not hold air. The bicycle cannot be ridden and used as the tire is flat.  
           [0012]    The invention provides a mounting base to fit over the hole in the rim and contacts the inner surface of the rim. There is a passageway in the mounting base for receiving the externally threaded valve stem.  
           [0013]    There is a tapped cap positioned on the mounting base. This tapped cap screws onto the threaded valve stem and draws the valve stem through the hole or opening in the mounting base and also through the hole or opening in the rim. With the tightening of the tapped cap, the valve stem and the inner tube are definitely positioned with respect to the rim. As a result, the inner tube will not slip or move with respect to the rim and/or the tire.  
         OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES  
         [0014]    An object is to provide a means for definitely positioning a valve stem on an inner tube with respect to a rim;  
           [0015]    Another object is to provide an inexpensive means for definitely positioning the valve stem of an inner tube;  
           [0016]    A further object is to provide a decorative means for definitely positioning the valve stem of an inner tube; and  
           [0017]    Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned by the practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0024]    In the drawings it is seen that there is a positioning means  10  comprising a mounting base  12  and a screw cap  30 . The screw cap  30  has a recess  31  or a hollow interior  31 .  
         [0025]    The mounting base  12  comprises a first side or a left side  14  and a second side or a right side  16 .  
         [0026]    There is a front flat area  18  joining the sides  14  and  16 .  
         [0027]    There is rear flat area  20  joining the sides  14  and  16 .  
         [0028]    There is a recess  22  in the base  12  and in the left side  14  and also a recess  22  in the right side  16 .  
         [0029]    In FIG. 4 it is seen that there is a lower surface  24  in the recess  22 .  
         [0030]    The base comprises a mounting stem  26 . In the base  12  and in the mounting stem  26  there is a through passageway  28 .  
         [0031]    The screw cap  30  rests on the mounting stem  26  and on the base  12 . The recess  31  in the screw cap  30  is tapped at  32 . On the outer surface of the screw cap  30  there is an upper external recess  34 . In the upper external recess  34  there is positioned an O-ring  36 .  
         [0032]    In FIG. 3 it is seen that on the screw cap  30  there is a lower external recess  38 . In the lower external recess  38  there is positioned a lower o-ring  40 .  
         [0033]    In FIG. 4 it is seen that there is a wheel  42  having a rim  44 . A tire  46  is positioned on the wheel  42  and in contact with the rim  44 . Inside of the tire  46  there is an inner tube  48 . The tire  46  contacts the external surface of the rim  44 .  
         [0034]    There is a valve stem  50  on the inner tube  48 .  
         [0035]    There is a passageway  51  in rim  44 . The passageway  28  and in the positioning means  10  or in the mounting base  12  and the passageway  51  in the rim  44  are aligned.  
         [0036]    The valve stem  50  on the inner tube  48  is positioned in the passageway  28  and is also positioned in the passageway  51  so as to project inwardly into the wheel  42 .  
         [0037]    The valve stem  50  is externally threaded at  52 .  
         [0038]    The mounting base  12  is positioned on the inner surface of the rim  44 . The screw cap  30  is screwed onto the externally threaded valve stem  52  so as to draw the valve stem inwardly towards the center of the wheel  42  and also to draw the inner tube  48  to be in snug contact with the external surface of the rim  44 . The result is the inner tube  48  cannot move readily even if the inner tube is low on air pressure. The mounting base  12  and the screw cap  30  definitely position the inner tube with respect to the rim  44 . This precludes, even with low air pressure in the inner tube  48 , the inner tube  48  moving inside of the tire  46 .
