***New Product For Licensing or Manufacturing***

U.S. Patent : # 5,569,849 Inventor : Craig N. Cummings

As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Visual Tire Cap Pressure Gauge we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

The Visual Tire Cap Pressure Gauge is comprised of a cap that is secured to the valve stem of a tire in a motor vehicle. A lens is mounted on the top end of the cap, which indicates (by changing color) when air pressure within the tire drops below a set point. This enables the user to tell at a glance if the tire needs more air.

Now for the first time this simple and easy to use Visual Tire Cap Pressure Gauge is being made available to millions of potential users. It can be used on both passenger and commercial vehicles, and provides and early warning system to save fuel (partially deflated tires cause the vehicle to have worse gas milage). The low manufacturing cost of the product is also of major importance.

Objects of the present invention:

• to provide a visual tire cap pressure gauge that is threaded onto a valve stem which will automatically change color when a tire looses a sufficient amount of air pressure
  
  
• to provide a visual tire cap pressure gauge that can be used for passenger as well as commercial vehicles, and would be an early warning system designed to save fuel
  
  
• to provide a visual tire cap pressure gauge that would act as an added safety feature to ensure safe driving
  
  
• to provide a visual tire cap pressure gauge that is simple and easy to use
  
  

The following pictures are meant to display possible physical characteristics of the present invention and are not to be taken in a limiting sense. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
