A tire-repairing connector includes a main body and an insertion tube. The main body has a connecting end and a second end. The main body is provided therein with a gas inlet channel extending through the connecting end. The insertion tube is provided with a gas passage therein. One end of the insertion tube is provided in the second end of the main body, with the gas passage in communication with the gas inlet channel. The other end of the insertion tube is a pointed end with a clamping groove having an opening. The clamping groove is configured to hold a tire plug. The insertion tube and the tire plug held in the clamping groove can be inserted into a puncture in a tire to repair the puncture, and the tire can be inflated directly through the tire-repairing connector.

The present disclosure provides tire repair assemblies that can include: a tire sealant tank; an air assembly coupled to the tire sealant tank; a valve configured to control fluid communication between the tank and the air assembly; and a currency operating assembly configured to control the valve. Methods for repairing tires are also provided with the methods including providing tire sealant to a tire from a tire repair assembly upon depositing currency in the tire repair assembly. Stand alone currency operated tire repair assemblies are also provided with the assemblies including: a tire sealant tank; an air compressor operatively coupled to the tank; a valve operatively aligned between the tank and the air compressor; a flow meter operatively aligned between the tank and the air compressor; and computer processing circuitry operatively coupled to the air compressor, the valve, and the flow meter.

Provided is a flat tire repair liquid container including: a container main body including a container body in which a flat tire repair liquid is stored, and an opening; and a cap including a flow path configured to guide the flat tire repair liquid out of the container. The flow path includes a cylinder portion of which an end of a first side is open toward internal space of the container body and in which a closing plug is slidably inserted, and a dispensing portion branching from the cylinder portion and open to outside the container. The closing plug is configured to close the flow path by being positioned at the end of the first side of the cylinder portion, and to open the flow path by being subjected to pressure inside the container during flat tire repair work and moving to a second side.

Devices are taught for filling a tire with air, gas or a liquid and repairing the tire. In one embodiment, the tire repair tool discloses an transmittal control section, with the transmittal control section comprising a proximal end, the proximal end having an opening a distal end, with the distal end having a centralized opening to align with a punctureable seal at a proximal end of a gas cartridge; a passageway positioned between the proximal end of the gas cartridge and the distal end; and a puncture tool which can puncture the punctureable seal of the gas cartridge. The puncture tool is positioned at the distal end of the transmittal control section along the air passage way. An insertion tube comprises an air inlet at a distal end of the insertion tube which is connected to the opening of the proximal end of the transmittal control section. A gas outlet passes air from a gas cartridge through the air passage way through the transmittal control section into the air inlet of the insertion tube and through the gas outlet.

A device and method for dispensing air and/or sealant to a tire of a vehicle. Power supply for the air compressor is obtained via powered USB instead of the typical 12 V cigarette lighter connector. The position of the tire which is being inflated can also be determined via the data interface of the USB port. By communication between a compressor control module and the vehicle systems interface, the compressor can automatically switch off when the recommended tire pressure has been reached. The control module can be located in the USB power cord plug, and can provide for changes in voltage to the compressor to maximize power and inflation rate and/or efficiency.

The present invention includes methods and apparatus for controlling the abrasion of a tire surface. Particular embodiments provide an abrading tool for abrading a surface of a tire, the tool comprising means for rotating an abrading wheel, an abrading wheel rotatably attached to the means for rotating, and a depth guide secured to the means for rotating, wherein the depth guide includes a pair of freely rotatable, spaced apart guide wheels. Further embodiments include a depth guide configured for use with an abrading tool which includes a abrading wheel and a means for rotating the abrading wheel, the depth guide comprising a mounting member securable to the means for rotating and a pair of freely rotatable, spaced apart guide wheels rotatably attached to the mounting member. Particular embodiments further include a method for preparing a portion of a tire for repair.

The invention relates to a repair patch for an elastomeric component, in particular for a vehicle tire, to a use of the repair patch and to a method for repairing a vehicle tire. The repair patch has a cover layer 10, a connecting layer 30 for placement on a damaged spot 60 of the elastomeric component 40, and at least one intermediate layer 20, which is arranged between the cover layer and the connecting layer. The repair patch 1 has external dimensions such that a dimensional quotient which is at least formed by means of at least one size parameter of the damaged spot 60 is within a predetermined value range and the number of intermediate layers 20 depends on the at least one size parameter of the damaged spot 60.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments relating to devices, systems and methods relating to the mounting and inflating of tires for use in automotive applications. There is a need in the art for improved devices, systems and methods for tire mounting and inflation, so as to allow a user to prepare racing tires without mounting on a rim.
