Abstract

A check structure for a connection of an air nozzle of a tire and a connection hose of an air compressor, the air compressor contains: a box, a sealant supply can, and a connection hose. The box includes a body of the air compressor. The sealant supply can includes an open segment and a supply tube. The connection hose includes a first segment and a second segment. The second segment has a check connector which includes a fitting sleeve, and the fitting sleeve has a threaded orifice, a through orifice, and a projected shoulder. A cylindrical base includes a hollow room, a stepped coupling segment, a conduit, and a tilted fence. A valve bolt includes a post, a connecting disc, multiple peripheral channels, a neck, multiple spaced slots, and a seal ring. A first spring is received into the conduit from the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A check structure for connection of an air nozzle of a tire with a connection hose of an air compressor,
the check structure comprising:
a fitting sleeve, the fitting sleeve comprising a threaded orifice formed in a first end thereof and having female threads, a through orifice defined on a second end of the fitting sleeve, and a projected shoulder formed on an inner wall of the through orifice, wherein a diameter of the projected shoulder is greater than a diameter of the through orifice, and the threaded orifice is in communications with the through orifice;
a cylindrical base comprising a hollow room defined in the cylindrical base, a stepped coupling segment extending on an outer wall of a first end of the cylindrical base, and a conduit defined in the stepped coupling segment and communicating with the hollow room, wherein a diameter of the conduit is greater than a diameter of the hollow room, and the cylindrical base further includes a tilted fence formed between the hollow room and the conduit;
a valve bolt comprising a post extending on a first end thereof, a connecting disc extending from a second end of the valve bolt, multiple peripheral channels formed around a peripheral wall of the connecting disc, a neck formed between the post and a first end of the connecting disc, and multiple spaced slots defined around the post; and
a seal ring fit on the neck of the valve bolt;
wherein:
the first end of the valve bolt is disposed in the hollow room of the cylindrical base via the conduit and the hollow room of the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base so that the post of the valve bolt is located in the hollow room and a portion of the post extends from the cylindrical base, and the seal ring of the valve bolt is located in the conduit of the stepped coupling segment and contacts with the tilted fence of the cylindrical base;
a first spring is received into the conduit from the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base so that a first end of the first spring abuts against the connecting disc of the valve bolt; and
a distal end of the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base comprises two opposing bent wings, and the two bent wings are configured to engage with the seal ring, the valve bolt, and the first spring, wherein the first spring pushes the seal ring to contact with the tilted fence of the cylindrical base and to close the hollow room of the cylindrical base.

2. The check structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the fitting sleeve has a chamber defined therein, and the threaded orifice, the chamber, and the through orifice are in communication with one another;
the cylindrical base includes a peg extending from a first end thereof and having a contacting rib extending outward from a distal end of the peg, a hollow room defined in the cylindrical base and the peg, a recessed section formed proximate to the stepped coupling segment;
wherein a diameter of the cylindrical base is greater than a diameter of the recessed section, and a stepped shoulder is defined between the cylindrical base and the recessed section.

3. The check structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein an abutting washer having a passing orifice is disposed on the peg of the cylindrical base, a first end of the abutting washer contacting the cylindrical base, and a second end of the abutting washer abuts against the contacting rib of the cylindrical base.

4. The check structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein:
the connecting disc comprises multiple spaced protrusions extending from a second end thereof, and the connecting disc has an accommodation space surrounded by the multiple spaced protrusions;
the first end of the first spring abuts against the connecting disc of the valve bolt and is located at the accommodation space; and
a plain washer is fit on a second end of the first spring;
wherein when the stepped coupling segment connected with the abutting washer, the first spring, the plain washer and the seal ring is fitted to the through orifice of the projected shoulder from the threaded orifice of the fitting sleeve via the chamber, the projected shoulder contacts with the stepped shoulder of the cylindrical base.

5. The check structure as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base extends out of the fitting sleeve to connect with the connection hose.
