First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tire valve for use with a tire which is charged with a hollow particle and a gas, comprising:
- a valve stem formed into a cylindrical shape and communicating with an interior and an exterior of the tire and including a first and second stem, the first stem being fixed to the tire and removably fitted by the second stem, the first stem being constructed so that the hollow particle is capable of being charged into the tire when the first stem has been removed from the second stem;
a valve core mounted in the valve stem; and
a filter provided in the valve stem so as to close part of the interior of the valve stem inner than the valve core, thereby blocking the hollow particle and allowing the gas to pass to the valve core side;
wherein the second stem has both ends closed by the valve core and the filter respectively and the second stem includes a pinching portion pinching a peripheral edge of the filter.

Abstract
Hollow particle can be charged into a tire when a second stem is disconnected from a first stem in a tire valve of the present invention. When the second stem is fitted in the first stem, the hollow particle is sealed in the tire by a filter provided on the second stem and a gas can be charged into the tire through a valve core provided on the second stem.

7. A tire valve for use with a tire which is charged with a hollow particle and a gas, comprising:
-
a valve stem formed into a cylindrical shape and communicating with an interior and exterior of the tire, the valve stem including first and second stems, the first stem being fixed to the tire and removably fitted by the second stem, the first stem being constructed so that the hollow particle is capable of being charged into the tire when the first stem has been removed from the second stem; a valve core mounted in the valve stem; a filter provided in the valve stem so as to close part of the interior of the valve stem inner than the valve core, thereby blocking the hollow particle and allowing the gas to pass to the valve core side, the filter being comprised of a nonwoven cloth, having a filtration accuracy sufficient to remove the hollow particle in a filter performance test prescribed by JIS-B8356-8 or ISO16889; wherein the second stem has both ends closed by the valve core and the filter respectively and includes a pinching portion pinching a peripheral edge of the filter. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
