Abstract

In some implementations, the inflator may include a compressor coupled to an air hose having an air fitting at a distal end thereof. In addition, the inflator may include a controller configured to control the operation of the compressor. The inflator may include entry keys coupled to the controller for setting a target air pressure for inflating an inflatable object coupled to the air fitting. Moreover, the inflator may include a display coupled to the controller for displaying the target air pressure. Also, the inflator may include a power cord having an accessory plug at a distal and thereof. Further, the inflator may include an indicator provided at the distal end of the power cord that is coupled to the controller to provide an indication that air pressure in the inflatable object has reached the target pressure.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable inflator, comprising:
 a compressor coupled to an air hose having an air fitting at a distal end thereof;   a controller configured to control operation of the compressor;   entry keys coupled to the controller for setting a target air pressure for inflating an inflatable object coupled to the air fitting;   a display coupled to the controller for displaying the target air pressure;   a power cord having an accessory plug at a distal and thereof; and   an indicator provided at the distal end of the power cord that is coupled to the controller to provide an indication that air pressure in the inflatable object has reached the target air pressure.   
     
     
         2 . The portable inflator of  claim 1 , wherein the indicator is coupled to the controller via a conductor added to the power cord. 
     
     
         3 . The portable inflator of  claim 2 , wherein the power cord provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         4 . The portable inflator of  claim 2 , comprising a rechargeable battery that provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         5 . The portable inflator of  claim 1 , wherein the indicator is coupled to the controller via a signal multiplexed onto a conductor of the power cord. 
     
     
         6 . The portable inflator of  claim 5 , wherein the power cord provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         7 . The portable inflator of  claim 5 , comprising a rechargeable battery that provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         8 . The portable inflator of  claim 1 , wherein the indicator is coupled to the controller via a wireless interface. 
     
     
         9 . The portable inflator of  claim 8 , wherein the power cord provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         10 . The portable inflator of  claim 8 , comprising a rechargeable battery that provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         11 . An portable inflator, comprising:
 a compressor coupled to an air hose having an air fitting at a distal end thereof;   a controller configured to control operation of the compressor;   entry keys coupled to the controller for setting a target air pressure for inflating an inflatable object coupled to the air fitting;   a display coupled to the controller for displaying the target air pressure; and   an indicator coupled to the controller to provide an indication that air pressure in the inflatable object has reached the target air pressure.   
     
     
         12 . The portable inflator of  claim 11 , wherein the indicator is coupled to the controller via a conductor added to a power cord. 
     
     
         13 . The portable inflator of  claim 12 , wherein the power cord provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         14 . The portable inflator of  claim 11 , comprising a rechargeable battery that provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         15 . The portable inflator of  claim 11 , wherein the indicator is coupled to the controller via a signal multiplexed onto a conductor of a power cord. 
     
     
         16 . The portable inflator of  claim 15 , wherein the power cord provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         17 . The portable inflator of  claim 11 , wherein the indicator is coupled to the controller via a wireless interface. 
     
     
         18 . The portable inflator of  claim 17 , comprising a power cord for providing power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         19 . The portable inflator of  claim 17 , comprising a rechargeable battery that provides power for the compressor and the controller. 
     
     
         20 . The portable inflator of  claim 19 , comprising a power cord for providing power for the compressor and the controller.
