Dust shield for temperature and pressure compensating indicator
First Claim
1. A dust shield for fitting around and removably engaging an air pressure gauge apparatus fitted to a tire valve stem protruding from and in fluid communication with the interior of a tire, the pressure gauge apparatus including a tubular gauge housing substantially coaxial with the valve stem and having a gauge housing connected end secured to the valve stem and a gauge housing free end opposite the gauge housing connected end, the dust shield comprising:
- a shield tubular body having an open longitudinal shield entry end which receives and passes the gauge housing as the dust shield is slid over the pressure gauge apparatus and sealingly abuts the tire valve stem and an open longitudinal shield exposing end through which the gauge housing free end slides out of the dust shield and is exposed for viewing and which sealingly abuts the gauge housing.
