The present invention is an apparatus for tire inflation designed to allow users to properly inflate, maintain, and monitor the condition of vehicle tires. The tire inflation device of present invention is comprising of: a carrying case having a housing, a lid attached to the housing using a hinge, a plurality of locking latches to lock the lid over the housing and a handle configured over the lid to allow easy transport of the tire inflating device. The tire inflation device further comprises, a control head assembly to control the working of the device, an air compressor coupled with the control head assembly to provide compressed air for inflation of tires, a hose assembly to connect the device with the vehicle tires and a plurality of power adapters to connect the device with the power source. The control head assembly of the inflation device is further comprising of, a program control module, an auto level manifold, a plurality of output modules, an air release valve, a pressure release valve, a plurality of buttons and switches, and a display unit.

A flat tire repair liquid container is provided with: a closing stopper, which is formed from a non-elastomer material and is capable of sliding inside a flow channel; and a sealing member, which is formed from an elastomer material, is disposed in a ring shape conforming to an inner wall surface of a flow channel, closes a gap between the closing stopper and the flow channel, and holds the closing stopper at a predetermined position. During storage, the closing stopper is engaged with the sealing member to close the flow channel. During flat tire repair work, the closing stopper is pushed out from the sealing member by pressure inside the container and moved toward the outer side of the container in the flow channel to open the flow channel.

The present disclosure provides tire repair assemblies, methods for repairing tires, standalone currency operated tire repair assemblies, tire sealant vending assemblies configured to provide tire sealant via the valve stem of a tire, tire valve coupling assemblies that are configured to provide gas and/or sealant to a tire, tire valve coupling assemblies, and/or methods for providing one or both of gas and/or tire sealant to a tire are provided.

An inflator includes an inflator housing, a pressure sensor operable to generate a pressure signal related to an outlet pressure of the inflator, a motor within the inflator housing, a battery pack removably coupleable to the inflator housing, and a controller electrically coupled to the motor and the battery pack. The controller is configured to receive the pressure signal from the pressure sensor, determine a rate of pressurization change based on the pressure signal, determine a static pressure value based on the rate of pressurization change, and determine a motor time delay based on a target pressure value, the static pressure value, and the rate of pressurization change. The controller is also configured to generate a control signal when the motor time delay substantially equals zero. The control signal is operable to cause power to the motor to be turned off to stop a pressurization condition of the inflator.

An apparatus for filling four or more tires simultaneously with air includes four or more fill hoses, each of the four or more fill hoses being between four and twenty feet in length and each of the four or more fill hoses adapted to connect to a tire fill valve of each of the four or more tires. A common manifold connects each of the four or more fill hoses allowing for passive tire filling through bidirectional communication of the air between the four or more tires. An air-input-port is attached to the common manifold allowing all of the tires to be inflated at the same time using active filling through an external air supply. The apparatus may comprise one or more valves attached to the common manifold. The apparatus may comprise one or more gauges attached to the common manifold.

The present application discloses a tire maintenance method and a tire maintenance kit. The tire maintenance method comprises: establishing a communication connection between a terminal device and a maintenance device connected to a tire; displaying an interactive interface suitable for a tire maintenance mode on the terminal device; controlling the maintenance device to perform a maintenance operation designated by the tire maintenance mode on the tire based on a user input; and generating at least one of operation results of the tire on the terminal device. The present application can achieve intelligent operation.

A method for inflating a tyre mounted on a corresponding wheel rim comprises the following steps in sequence; placing a tool at an operating position, where a first bead of the tyre is interposed between the tool and a second bead of the tyre, and one end of tool is positioned axially between a first flange of the rim and a first rib of the rim and positioned radially between an outside surface of the rim and a tread of the tyre; blowing a gas under pressure through an inflation valve of the tyre into a chamber delimited by the tyre and by the rim, with the tool at the operating position, so that the first sidewall of the tyre is pressed against the end of the tool; removing the tool from the operating position.
