Abstract

An adapter assembly for an inflating device has a case body and a warning unit. The case body has a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber and the second chamber are formed in the case body and communicate with each other. The warning unit is mounted in the second chamber and has a selective module, multiple adjusting modules, a sounding body, and a cover body. The selective module is mounted in the second chamber and has multiple accommodating portions formed in the selective module. One of the accommodating portions communicates with the second chamber. The adjusting modules are respectively mounted in and communicate with the accommodating portions. The sounding body is mounted on the selective module and communicates with the accommodating portions. The cover body is mounted on the selective module, and has a least one sound hole communicating with the sounding body.

Claims

1. An adapter assembly for an inflating device having:

a case body having

a first chamber formed in the case body; and

a second chamber formed in the case body and communicating with the first chamber; and

a warning unit mounted in the second chamber and having

a selective module mounted in the second chamber, rotatable relative to the case body and having

multiple accommodating portions formed in the selective module and one of the accommodating portions communicating with the second chamber;

multiple adjusting modules respectively mounted in and communicating with the accommodating portions;

a sounding body mounted on the selective module and communicating with the accommodating portions; and

a cover body mounted on the selective module, covering the selective module and having at least one sound hole communicating with the sounding body.

2. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the selective module has

an assembling base mounted in the second chamber, wherein the accommodating portions are formed in the assembling base;

and

a selective unit rotatably mounted on the assembling base and having an air hole formed through the selective unit and selectively communicating with the sounding body, one of the accommodating portions and a corresponding adjusting module.

3. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the selective module has

an assembling base mounted in the second chamber and having an air hole formed through the assembling base and communicating with the second chamber;

and

a selective unit rotatably mounted on the assembling base, wherein the accommodating portions are formed in the selectively unit, and one of the accommodating portions communicates between the sounding body and the air hole.

4. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein each adjusting module has

an abutting unit mounted in the corresponding accommodating portion and selectively closing the accommodating portion;

an elastic unit abutting the abutting unit;

an adjusting unit moveably combined with the accommodating portion, abutting the elastic unit at a position opposite to the abutting unit and having an adjusting unit hole formed through the adjusting unit and communicating with the accommodating portion and selectively communicating with the air hole.

5. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein each adjusting module has

an abutting unit mounted in the corresponding accommodating portion and selectively closing the accommodating portion;

an elastic unit abutting the abutting unit;

an adjusting unit moveably combined with the accommodating portion, abutting the elastic unit at a position opposite to the abutting unit and having an adjusting unit hole formed through the adjusting unit and communicating with the accommodating portion and selectively communicating with the air hole.

6. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein the selective unit further has

a liming hole being curved and formed in the selective unit;

and

a limiting pin fixed in the assembling base and slidably inserted into the limiting hole.

7. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein

the assembling base further has a limiting pin mounted in the assembling base;

and

the selective unit further has multiple limiting holes formed in the selective unit, wherein the limiting pin is selectively engaged with one of the limiting holes.

8. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein each adjusting module further has

a first sealing ring mounted in the accommodating portion, wherein the abutting unit selectively abuts the first sealing ring;

and

a second sealing ring mounted in the assembling base and abutting between the selective unit and the assembling base, and the second sealing ring is mounted between the accommodating portion and the selective unit.

9. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein each adjusting module further has

a first sealing ring mounted in the assembling base and abutting between the selective unit and the assembling base;

and

a second sealing ring mounted in the accommodating portion, wherein the abutting unit selectively abuts the first sealing ring.

10. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 8, wherein

the sounding body has

a supporting unit mounted in the cover body by threads;

and

a sounding unit mounted on the supporting unit and communicating with the air hole; and

the cover body is mounted on the selective unit by threads.

11. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein

the sounding body is mounted in the cover body by threads;

and

the cover body is mounted on the selective unit by threads.

12. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 10, wherein the assembling base further has

an annular recess annularly formed in the assembling base;

and

a sealing ring body mounted in the annular recess and abutting between the case body and the annular recess.

13. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 11, wherein the assembling base further has

an annular recess annularly formed in the assembling base;

and

a sealing ring body mounted in the annular recess and abutting between the case body and the annular recess.

14. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein the case body further has

a first channel formed in the case body, wherein the first chamber communicates with the second chamber by the first channel;

and

a second channel formed in the case body, formed through a side of the case body and communicating with the second chamber.

15. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein the case body further has

a first channel formed in the case body, wherein the first chamber communicates with the second chamber by the first channel;

and

a second channel formed in the case body, formed through a side of the case body and communicating with the second chamber.

16. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein the case body further has

a first channel formed in the case body;

a second channel formed in the case body and communicating with the first channel, wherein the first chamber communicates with the second chamber by the first channel and the second channel; and

an outer connector mounted on the case body and communicating with the first channel.

17. The adapter assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein the case body further has

a first channel formed in the case body;

a second channel formed in the case body and communicating with the first channel, wherein the first chamber communicates with the second chamber by the first channel and the second channel; and

an outer connector mounted on the case body and communicating with the first channel.
