Abstract

A tire-inspecting apparatus includes a shell, a valve, two tubes and a controller system. The shell includes two channels. The valve is inserted in the shell and adapted for controlling communication of the channels with each other. The first tube includes an end inserted in the first channel and another end for connection to a valve of a tire. The second tube includes an end inserted in the second channel and another end for connection to a pump. The controller system is inserted in the shell and adapted for measuring air pressure in the tire and storing values of air pressure.

Claims

1. A tire-inspecting apparatus comprising:

a shell comprising a first channel and a second channel;

a valve inserted in the shell and adapted for controlling communication of the first channel with the second channel;

a first tube comprising an end inserted in the first channel and another end for connection to a valve of a tire;

a second tube comprising an end inserted in the second channel and another end for connection to a pump; and

a controller system inserted in the shell and adapted for measuring air pressure in the tire and storing values of air pressure.

2. The tire-inspecting apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a trigger operatively connected to the valve.

3. The tire-inspecting apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the shell further comprises a handle and a body, wherein the trigger is connected to a portion of the shell between the handle and the body.

4. The tire-inspecting apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the controller system is inserted in the body.

5. The tire-inspecting apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the controller system comprises:

a sensor module for measuring values of air pressure in the tire;

a memory module for storing the measured values of air pressure;

a display module for showing the measured values of air pressure; and

a microprocessor electrically connected to the sensor module, the memory module and the display module.

6. The tire-inspecting apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the display module comprises a primary display element provided on the body and a secondary display element provided on a portable device.

7. The tire-inspecting apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the controller system further comprises a communication module for communication of signals of the secondary display element with the microprocessor.
