An auger for a grinder material for a tire filling machine, having: a cylindrical column; and a plurality of flights extending outwardly from the cylindrical core, wherein (i) the flights are arranged in pairs extending radially outwards from the cylindrical column at 180 degrees to one another, and (ii) each flight has a sharpened leading edge. Each pair of flights are positioned at angles of approximately 50 or 60 degrees to one another, and each flight extends approximately half way around the circumference of the cylindrical column, and there are no outer edge notches in the flights.

A method is provided for the co-extrusion of a complex rubber profiled element. The method makes it possible to co-extrude a sublayer in a first material and a tread in a second material with at least one insert in a third material inserted in a discontinuity in the sublayer and in the tread. The method includes: a) discontinuous extrusion of the first material, b) discontinuous first profiling of the first material, c) discontinuous extrusion of the second material onto the first material, d) discontinuous profiling of the first and second materials and extrusion of the third material into each discontinuity, and e) final profiling of the first, second and third materials with a longitudinal groove in the profiled element next to each insert of the third material.

A sealant liquid container for repairing an inflatable article, preferably a tire, includes a casing defining an inner volume for a sealant liquid, an inlet port for the inlet of a pressurized gas into the inner volume, and an outlet port for the injection of the sealant liquid following pressurization of the inlet port. The container further includes a closing unit configurable between a closing position in which the sealant liquid is retained in the inner volume and an opening position reached following pressurization of the inlet port in which the inlet port and the outlet port are connected by the inner volume. In particular, the container further includes a second inlet port connected to the outlet port in parallel to the first inlet port and a duct for connecting the second inlet port to the outlet port and surrounded by the inner volume.

An apparatus for repairing and/or inflating a damaged and/or deflated inflatable article, such as a punctured and/or flat tire, includes a container for receiving and retaining for dispensing, a sealant composition and a compressor assembly which is releasably connectable to the container. The container has associated therewith a valve assembly which allows for controlled dispensing of the sealant composition from the container to the damaged and/or deflated inflatable article. The container is progressively and selectively movable between respective first and second positions/configurations. In the first position/configuration, the container is disposed substantially parallel to the compressor assembly and in the second position/configuration the container is disposed at substantially right angles to the compressor assembly. The first and second positions/configurations correspond to storage and dispensing positions respectively for the sealant composition from the container.

A bicycle tire repair device has a main body which has a first end forming a working end useful for repairing and fluidly connecting with a tire to be repaired and a second end forming an air inlet end useful for connecting with an object that outputs air. The main body defines a channel between the first and the second ends for allowing the air from the object to flow to the second end. The first end includes a tire repair needle connected therewith.

Fossil-fuel and rubber-derived waste stream conversion to composite lumber substitutes or barrier members; the composites having material properties and uses of greater value than the solid waste stream components separately or together. Preferred combinations including waste materials derived from waste carpet, waste tires, and waste bituminous roofing shingles, all enormous problems for landfill disposal. In a range of formulation ratios, when combined with a binder, new and marketable products are made from solid waste. Improved resistance to rot, to water, and to weathering is exhibited in synergy with improved compressive and flexural strength, enabling production of a wide variety of useful and environmentally-friendly structural products, for example. Product weight and strength can be engineered to suit and may be structural members for architectural, engineering or agricultural use. Advantageously, the new products themselves can be re-used—by an end-of-life process for making more new products, achieving the capacity to make and remake multigenerational products from solid wastes and to reduce loading of landfills.

An anti-spray joint structure for a connection of an air nozzle of a tire and a connection hose of an air compressor, the air compressor contains: a box, a sealant supply can, and a connection hose. The box includes a body of the air compressor. The sealant supply can includes an open segment and a supply tube. The connection hose includes a first segment and a second segment. The second segment has an anti-spray connector which includes a fitting sleeve, and the fitting sleeve has a threaded orifice, a through orifice, and a projected shoulder. The cylindrical base includes a cylindrical room, a stepped coupling segment, a conduit, and a first stepped portion. The valve bolt includes a post, a connecting disc, multiple spaced slots, and a first seal ring. A lock element includes at least one tangent plane, a stem, and a hollow cavity.

A tire plug apparatus for repairing a hole in a tubeless tire on a rim using a tire plug is provided. The tire plug apparatus includes: a body configured to receive an insertion tip for inserting the tire plug into the hole; an adjustable stabilizing arm or strap configured to attach to the body and adjust to contact the tire or rim in order to stabilize the body with respect to the hole; and a motor within or otherwise attached to the body. The motor is configured to: supply an insertion force to insert the received insertion tip into the hole in order to insert the tire plug into the hole using the insertion tip while the body remains stabilized with respect to the hole; and supply an extraction force to extract the inserted insertion tip from the hole while leaving the inserted tire plug in the hole.
