Abstract

A valve-coupling device includes a main body having a first end engaged with a gas output end of an inflating device, a slider slidably received in a second end of the main body, an end cap mounted to the second end of the main body for enclosing the slider, and a switch member including a stem rotatably received in the main body. The stem has an operative portion outside the main body for manual operation. When the switch member is in a first position, the end cap is engageable with the valve of a first type. When the switch member is in a second position, the end cap is engageable with the valve of a second type.
