A sealant dispenser comprising: a hollow can which includes an accommodation chamber, an opening, a connection seat, chemical sealant, an insertion, and the two peripheral ribs formed on a bottom of the insertion. A sealant dispenser is fixed on an accommodation box in which an air compressor is accommodated, the accommodation box includes a fixing hole, a U-shaped protrusion formed on a lower end of the fixing hole, a positioning space defined on the fixing hole above the U-shaped protrusion, and a peripheral column surrounding around the fixing hole, the U-shaped protrusion and the positioning space. The insertion of the hollow can is inserted into the fixing hole of the accommodation box, and the sealant dispenser is rotated so that the two peripheral ribs of the insertion are retained with the positioning space of the fixing hole, thus fixing the sealant dispenser on the accommodation box.

A fluid actuation system controls fluid flow between a container and the external environment. The fluid actuation system has an actuator housing which houses a cradle member secured to the actuator housing. An actuator member is slidably received within the cradle member with the actuator member having an actuator member flow conduit for communication fluid flow from the container to and external environment. A toggle latch member is moveable to a first position for continuous fluidic transfer, to a second position for manual control of the fluidic flow, or a third position when fluidic flow is blocked.

A support device for a tire sealant inflator contains: a C-shaped rib on which two spaced plates are engaged when inflating and supplying sealant into a broken tire, and the tire sealant inflator and the support device are connected so as to exert the tire sealant inflator stably. The support device further contains a base, and the base includes a C-shaped holder formed thereon, an opening defined on a side of the C-shaped holder, and the C-shaped rib extending inward from a top of the C-shaped holder.

Methods and apparatus for treating a mixture of fiber and granules are provided. The method includes passing the mixture through a friction zone comprising a conveyor belt that moves mixture and a friction device comprising a stationary surface in contact with a surface of the mixture. The method includes applying pressure to the mixture with the friction device to generate friction such that at least 5% of the fiber in the mixture is rotated. The method includes forming an agglomerate that is larger than the granules in the mixture.

The present invention is directed to a method making a pneumatic tire, comprising the steps of: mixing a sealant composition comprising an elastomer, a filler, a diluent, a quinoid curing agent, an oxidant co-curative; and a cure modifier of formula 1: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently H or C1 to C4 alkyl, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 taken together form a substituted or unsubstituted phenylene group; R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently H, NH.sub.2, C1 to C4 alkyl, or OR.sup.5 where R.sup.5 is C1 to C4 alkyl, with the proviso that when R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are taken together to form a substituted or unsubstituted phenylene group, R.sup.5 is C1 to C3 alkyl; applying the sealant composition to an inner surface of a cured tire; and curing the sealant composition.

The tire vulcanization mold includes a molding surface for molding a tire surface of a pneumatic tire set in a cavity, a concave portion provided on the molding surface, and a vent plug provided in the concave portion. The vent plug includes a housing having a cylindrical shape and including an exhaust passage, a stem that is inserted in the housing and configured to open and close the exhaust passage of the housing, and an urging member urging the stem toward the cavity side. The concave portion has a narrow portion having a width substantially equal to the outer diameter of the housing of the vent plug, and the vent plug is disposed in the narrow portion.

Provided is a mold cleaning system. When cleaning a mold, the mold cleaning system acquires three-dimensional image data of a molding surface of the mold by a camera and, on the basis of the acquired image data, the mold cleaning system controls the movement of arms using a control device, moves a laser head along the molding surface while irradiating with a laser beam supplied by a laser oscillator and, as a result, removes dirt adhered to the molding surface.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pellet, comprising a) providing residual rubber powder from i rubber disintegration process; b) providing a pelletizing system, including a pelletizer and a cooling device; c) feeding the residual rubber powder as at least part of a feed material, into a pelletizer; d) providing the rubber powder in an amount between 50% and 100%; i) applying a pressure to the residual rubber for a predetermined process duration; f) releasing the pelletized rubber and cooling the pelletized rubber at a cooling rate dependent on the operational temperature of the pelletizer.

An anti-jet joint structure of a connection hose of a vehicle air compressor contains: an accommodation box, an adhesive supply can, and a connection hose. The accommodation box accommodates the vehicle air compressor started by a power to produce air. The adhesive supply can accommodates chemical adhesive for repairing a tire, and the adhesive supply can includes an open segment and a supply hose. The connection hose includes a first joint and a second joint opposite to the first joint. The first joint is engaged with the supply hose, and the second joint is screwed with a gas nozzle of the tire. The second joint is the anti-jet joint structure and has a first connection assembly and a second assembly. The first connection assembly is connected with or is removed from the second connection assembly having different interior structures and volumes so as to mate with various tires.
