1. An air pressure measuring pen comprising a transparent hollow pen tube having a top end and a bottom end, an ink holder positioner connected to said bottom end, a clipping cover connected to said top end, characterized in that:

  • said air pressure measuring pen further includes;

    a stopping medium received in said bottom end;

    a piston received in said pen tube;

    a spring urging said piston apart from said medium;

    a check valve in said clipping cover; and

    cooperating with said piston to form therebetween an air chamber;

    said clipping cover includes an exhausting valve capable of communicating with said air chamber, a measuring head at a top thereof, an actuating protrusion mounted in said measuring head, and an air passage provided around said protrusion and communicable with said air chamber through said check valve so that when said head is inserted upon an air valve of a tire, air in said tire will pass through said passage and check valve into said air chamber thereby depressing said piston toward said stopping medium by compression of the spring; and

    said pen tube includes a lower vent and an outer pressure scale to cooperate with the piston and provide an indication of tire pressure dependent on the amount of compression of the spring.
