Not much I recon as the question says 1870's...

In 1890, pnuematic tires were in use on the bicycle racing circuit, and soon bikes with pnuematic tires began winning the races. A tire manufacturer asked Schrader to design a better air valve .....

Schrader and his son George applied for a patent on their design in 1893
