Abstract

A flexible reinforced tire valve is disclosed. The flexible reinforced tire valve comprises a tube body, a flexible sleeve and a collar. The flexible sleeve is further disposed with a second blocking edge. When the flexible reinforced tire valve is installed on the wheel rim, the upper edge of the collar presses against the second blocking edge and the lower edge of the collar presses against an outer surface of the wheel rim so as to strengthen the durability of the tire valve against centrifugal force, whereby the tire will not leak even if the vehicle moves at high speed.

Claims (30)

1. A flexible reinforced tire valve, comprising:

a tube body;

a flexible sleeve, wherein the flexible sleeve is hollow, and the tube body is capped by the flexible sleeve; an outer surface of the flexible sleeve is disposed with a second blocking edge, a slot and a clamping part, wherein the slot is engaged with a wheel rim and an upper edge of the clamping part presses against an inner surface of the wheel rim; and

a collar, for fitting tightly around the flexible sleeve when the flexible reinforced tire valve installed on the wheel rim, wherein an upper edge of the collar presses against the second blocking edge and a lower edge of the collar presses against an outer surface of the wheel rim.

2. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the collar is disposed with a gap.

3. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 1 , wherein an upper portion of the collar is disposed with a plurality of gaps.

4. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 1 , further comprising a tire pressure monitoring device connected to the tube body in order to monitor a tire pressure of a vehicle.

5. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 1 , further comprising a first blocking edge, wherein a lower edge of the first blocking edge presses against the outer surface of the wheel rim.

6. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 1 , further comprising a hard pad, wherein the hard pad fits tightly around a bottom of the tube body, whereby an inside and an outside of the flexible reinforced tire valve are tightly clamped to enhance a firmness of the flexible reinforced tire valve.

7. A flexible reinforced tire valve, comprising:

a tube body, wherein an outer surface of the tube body is disposed with a second blocking edge;

a flexible sleeve, wherein the flexible sleeve is hollow, and the tube body is capped by the flexible sleeve; an outer surface of the flexible sleeve is disposed with a slot and a clamping part, wherein the slot is engaged with a wheel rim and an upper edge of the clamping part presses against an inner surface of the wheel rim; and

a collar, for fitting tightly around the flexible sleeve when the flexible reinforced tire valve installed on the wheel rim, wherein an upper edge of the collar presses against the second blocking edge and a lower edge of the collar presses against an outer surface of the wheel rim.

8. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 7 , wherein an outer surface of the collar is disposed with a gap.

9. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 7 , wherein an upper portion of the collar is disposed with a plurality of gaps.

10. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 7 , further comprising a tire pressure monitoring device connected to the tube body in order to monitor a tire pressure of a vehicle.

11. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 7 , further comprising a first blocking edge, wherein a lower edge of the first blocking edge presses against the outer surface of the wheel rim.

12. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 7 , further comprising a hard pad, wherein the hard pad fits tightly around a bottom of the tube body, whereby an inside and an outside of the flexible reinforced tire valve are tightly clamped to enhance a firmness of the flexible reinforced tire valve.

13. A flexible reinforced tire valve, comprising:

a tube body;

a flexible sleeve, wherein the flexible sleeve is hollow, and the tube body is capped by the flexible sleeve; an outer surface of the flexible sleeve is disposed with a slot and a clamping part, wherein the slot is engaged with a wheel rim and an upper edge of the clamping part presses against an inner surface of the wheel rim;

a second blocking edge, installed on a base below a body of a valve cover, and above the flexible sleeve; and

a collar, for fitting tightly around the flexible sleeve when the flexible reinforced tire valve installed on the wheel rim, wherein an upper edge of the collar presses against the second blocking edge and a lower edge of the collar presses against an outer surface of the wheel rim.

14. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 13 , wherein an outer surface of the collar is disposed with a gap.

15. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 13 , wherein an upper portion of the collar is disposed with a plurality of gaps.

16. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 13 , further comprising a tire pressure monitoring device connected to the tube body in order to monitor a tire pressure of a vehicle.

17. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 13 , further comprising a first blocking edge, wherein a lower edge of the first blocking edge presses against the outer surface of the wheel rim.

18. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 13 , further comprising a hard pad, wherein the hard pad fits tightly around a bottom of the tube body, whereby an inside and an outside of the flexible reinforced tire valve are tightly clamped to enhance a firmness of the flexible reinforced tire valve.

19. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 13 , wherein the body of the valve cover and the base are formed integrally, and the second blocking edge is at a bottom of the base.

20. The flexible reinforced tire valve of claim 13 , wherein the body of the valve cover and the base are separated, and the second blocking edge is at a bottom of the base.
