Tire pressure adjustment system
First Claim
1. A tire pressure adjusting system for adjusting the pressure of a tire mounted on a vehicle using a pressure source on the vehicle and at least one connecting line with which the pressure source is connected to a tire, the tire being mounted on a rim and within a space formed between the tire and the rim, a dividing means is provided, by which the space is divided into two chambers wherein a means of limitation is provided, by which the volume expansion of a chamber can be limited to a maximum volume value, and that to change the pressure of the tire, only the pressure in one of the two chambers needs to be changed.

Abstract
The invention concerns a tire pressure adjusting system for setting the pressure in a tire mounted on a vehicle. A pressure source assigned to the vehicle and at least one connecting line are provided, with which the pressure source can be connected to a tire. The tire can be mounted on a rim. Within the space formed between the tire and the rim, a dividing means is provided, with which the space can be divided into two chambers. In order to reduce the time period for a change in the tire pressure, a means of limitation be provided, with which the volume expansion of a chamber can be limited to a maximum volume value that can be set, and that to change the pressure of the tire only the pressure in one of the two chambers needs to be changed.
