Abstract

A tire valve that includes a valve stem, a valve core, and a secondary air release mechanism. The tire valve is designed to be assembled on a rim of a wheel of a vehicle for inflating and deflating a tire mounted on the rim. The secondary air release mechanism includes an electric air valve, a power source, an electronic card, and an antenna. The valve stem includes a tubular air passage and a secondary exit that is designed to enable air to flow from the tire, through the electric air valve when in open state and outside of the wheel through the tubular air passage and the secondary exit.

Claims (9)

1 . A system for releasing air from a tire of a wheel mounted on a vehicle in case of unauthorized use of the vehicle that comprises a tire valve and a remote controller;

wherein the tire valve comprising a valve stem, a valve core, and a secondary air release mechanism; wherein the tire valve is designed to be assembled on a rim of the wheel for inflating and deflating the tire mounted on the rim; wherein the secondary air release mechanism includes an electric air valve, a power source, an electronic card, and an antenna; wherein the valve stem includes a main air passage, a main top opening that are designed to enable a user to fill air into the tire or to release air from the tire through the valve core, and a secondary exit that is designed to enable air to flow from the tire through the electric air valve when in open state and outside of the wheel through the secondary exit;

wherein the tire valve further includes a processor with a unique identification code of said tire valve that is mounted on the wheel of the vehicle, and a displacement sensor that is designed to detect movement of the vehicle;

wherein the processor is configured to send an automatic opening command to open the electric air valve for releasing the air from the tire after a predetermined period from detection, by the displacement sensor, that the vehicle starts moving; and wherein the processor is configured not to send said automatic opening command upon receiving a presence signal from the remote controller.

2 . The system of claim 1 , that further comprises a GPS unit and wherein said processor is configured to send said automatic opening command to open said electric air valve for releasing the air from the tire after a predetermined period from detection, by the GPS unit, that the vehicle is located outside a predetermined territory the user set in said remote controller, and wherein the processor is configured not to send said automatic opening command upon receiving the presence signal from the remote controller.

3 . The system of claim 1 , that further comprises a GPS unit and wherein said processor is configured to send said automatic opening command to open said electric air valve for releasing the air from the tire after a predetermined period from detection, by a timer in the processor, that the vehicle moves in certain time that the user set in said remote controller, and wherein the processor is configured not to send said automatic opening command upon receiving the presence signal from the remote controller.

4 . A system for releasing air from tires of wheels of a vehicle that comprises a first, second, third and fourth tire valves respectively mounted on a first, second, third and fourth wheels of the vehicle and a remote controller;

wherein each tire valve comprising a valve stem, a valve core, and a secondary air release mechanism; wherein each tire valve is designed to be assembled on a rim of a respective wheel for inflating and deflating a respective tire mounted on the rim; wherein the secondary air release mechanism includes an electric air valve, a power source, an electronic card, and an antenna; wherein the valve stem includes a main air passage, a main top opening that are designed to enable a user to fill air into the respective tire or to release air from the respective tire through the valve core, and a secondary exit that is designed to enable air to flow from the respective tire through the electric air valve when in open state and outside of the respective wheel through the secondary exit;

wherein each tire valve further includes a processor with a unique identification code of the tire valve, and a touch sensor that is designed to detect a touch on the stem of said tire valve; and wherein the processors of the tire valves are configured to send an automatic opening command to open the electric air valves for releasing the air from the tires upon detection, by at least two of said four tire valves, the touch on the stems of said at least two tire valves and wherein the processor is configured not to send said automatic opening command upon receiving a presence signal from the remote controller.
