The invention concerns a controlled pneumatic valve ( 1), for remote inflating and deflating of a capacity (2), comprising a membrane (17) maintained between a valve body ( 18), including orifices (24) and a cover (19); and defining with said cover a control chamber (20) and with the body an escape

The invention concerns a controlled pneumatic valve ( 1), for remote inflating and deflating of a capacity (2), comprising a membrane (17) maintained between a valve body ( 18), including orifices (24) and a cover (19); and defining with said cover a control chamber (20) and with the body an escape chamber (21), the latter being capable of being connected with the capacity (2) for deflation when the check valve (28) is thrust by levers (32) inverting the direction of movement of the membrane (17) sucked towards the cover (19). By the action of a pressure in the control chamber (20), the membrane (17), bearing a cup (33) with an annular conduit, moves towards the body (18), isolates the escape chamber (21 ), and opens the check valve (28) by direct thrust to perform inflation. The inventive device is particularly designed to control and adjust tire pressure.

The invention claimed is: 1. A controlled pneumatic valve, intended for remote control of the inflation and deflation of a capacity, the valve comprising: a membrane structure, maintained between a valve body which has openings and a cover, said membrane structure and said cover defining on one hand a control chamber, and said membrane structure and said body defining on the other hand an outflow chamber, said membrane structure being movable between a first position permitting fluid communication between said outflow chamber and the capacity while at the same time isolating said outflow chamber from said control chamber, and a second position permitting fluid communication between said control chamber and the capacity, while at the same time closing the outflow chamber; at least one lever which rests on a stationary part of said cover or of said body for reversing the direction of the force provided by said membrane structure during application of a negative pressure in said control chamber; and a flap coupled to said lever, said lever ensuring the opening of said flap under the action of a positive control pressure as well as a negative control pressure in said control chamber with respect to the ambient pressure. 2. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 1, wherein said stationary part for providing a point of support of said lever is present in the form of a protuberance which advances inside a hole of said membrane structure and with this hole, makes an annular pipe. 3. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 2, wherein said protuberance carries a sealing ring arranged so as to close the annular pipe between said hole and said protuberance during said action of said negative relative pressure. 4. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 1, wherein said lever is connected to a ring housed in a groove of a cup of said membrane structure. 5. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 4, wherein said ring is in the form of a Belleville spring washer. 6. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 1, wherein said lever is part of a Belleville spring washer. 7. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 1, wherein said lever is coupled to said flap via a push rod having a maneuvering plate. 8. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 7, wherein said lever is oriented on said maneuvering plate at the beginning of a deflation course of travel so as to provide a high lever arm ratio. 9. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 7, wherein said push rod is maintained guided on its axis by a hole made in a protuberance of said cover. 10. A controlled pneumatic valve according to claim 3, wherein the position of said sealing ring with respect to a truncated conical neck of a cup of said membrane structure offers small resistance to the passage of the fluid during an inflation phase or a measurement phase. 11. An installation for remote control of inflation and deflation of a capacity, which has a pipeline which can be put in connection, by the intermediary of valves or selective control valves, with a source of pressure-vacuum, and pressure measuring means, the installation having at least one controlled valve comprising: a valve housing defining an interior and having an outlet in communication with said interior; a cup movably disposed within said housing interior; a flexible membrane connecting said cup to said housing, said membrane along with said cup dividing said housing interior into a control chamber and an outflow chamber; a lever element supported in said cup; and a flap coupled to said lever element and releasably seated in said housing outlet, wherein, upon application of a positive pressure in said control chamber, said cup moves to a first position wherein said lever element displaces said flap from said housing outlet and said cup permits fluid communication therethrough between said control chamber and said outlet, and wherein, upon application of a negative pressure in said control chamber, said cup moves to a second position, wherein said lever element displaces said flap from said housing outlet and said cup permits fluid communication between said outflow chamber and said outlet. 12. A pneumatic valve comprising: a valve housing defining an interior and having an outlet in communication with said interior; a cup movably disposed within said housing interior; a flexible membrane connecting said cup to said housing, said membrane along with said cup dividing said housing interior into a control chamber and an outflow chamber; a lever element supported in said cup; and a flap coupled to said lever element and releasably seated in said housing outlet, wherein, upon application of a positive pressure in said control chamber, said cup moves to a first position wherein said lever element displaces said flap from said housing outlet and said cup permits fluid communication therethrough between said control chamber and said outlet, and wherein, upon application of a negative pressure in said control chamber, said cup moves to a second position, wherein said lever element displaces said flap from said housing outlet and said cup permits fluid communication between said outflow chamber and said outlet.
