SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One embodiment of the invention pertains to a threaded coupling structure having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface having one or more threaded coupling(s) including an American mouth thread and/or size ranging from 0.2756″ (7.0000 mm) diameter to 0.315″ (8.0000 mm) diameter, wherein a thread count ranging from 36 TPI to 28 TPI, and/or metric thread pitch ranging from 0.7 mm to 0.9 mm, and/or French mouth thread and/or size ranging from 0.1575″ (4.0000 mm) diameter to 0.201″ (5.1000 mm) diameter, wherein a thread count ranging from 28 TPI to 20 TPI, and/or metric thread pitch ranging from 0.8 mm to 1.25 mm, wherein said top is integral of said bottom.
The threaded coupling structure may also have elements to allow attachment in various configurations, threaded shaft, magnetic force, form fitted, compression, adhesive, suction cup, tied or zip-tie, crimped, elastic, silicon, velcro, and/or none. The threaded coupling structure provides an attachment option for various threaded novelty items designed to thread onto a common valve stem such as schrader, dunlop-woods, presta, etc., typically conforming to International Organization For Standardization (ISO) 4570: 2002, tire (tyre) valve threads, and/or DIN specifications 7756. Wherein providing the ability to interchange the threaded novelty items to and from a valve stem, to any of the various preferred embodiments of the present invention, and/or provide many signaling, warning, and/or decorative options for the user.
