An inflator includes a body having a first passage, a second passage, and a third passage. The first passage is configured to couple with an air tank or a compressed gas cartridge. The first passage unidirectionally intercommunicates with the second passage and the third passage. The second passage is configured to couple with an air pump. The third passage is configured to couple with a to-be-inflated-object. A first one-way valve unit is disposed between the first and second passages, such that compressed gas is only flowable from the second passage to the first passage. A second one-way valve unit is disposed between the first passage and the third passage, such that compressed gas is only selectively flowable from the first passage to the third passage.

A combination structure for a hose connected between a tire and an air compressor is disclosed. The air compressor includes a box in which a compressor unit and a sealant bottle are installed. The sealant bottle has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the sealant bottle is connected to one outlet tube of the compressor unit. The hose has a first end and a second end. The first end of the hose is adapted to be connected to the outlet tube of the sealant bottle. The second end of the hose can be connected to the combination structure, which generally includes a cap, a core element, and a plug. With the combination structure, the chemical sealant contained in the sealant bottle can be prevented from flowing out to contaminate objects due to incorrect operation or negligence.

The present disclosure provides tire pressurization/sealant systems that can include a coned plunger valve. The present disclosure also provides tire pressurization/sealant systems that can include, for example, a first fluid source, a plunger valve assembly, a first conduit extending from the first fluid source to the plunger valve assembly, and a tire pressurizing hose extending from the plunger valve assembly. The present disclosure also provides methods for providing sealant to a tire via a tire pressurizing hose and cleaning out the tire pressurizing hose. The methods can include providing tire sealant to a tire via a tire pressuring hose through a plunger valve assembly and reconfiguring the plunger valve assembly to provide an aqueous solution through the hose to clean out the valve assembly and the hose.

The invention relates to a device for coupling a tire pump to a valve of a tire and for providing a fluid flow path from said pump to said valve, comprising a pump nipple for covering said valve. The device comprises an elastic band coupled to a body of said device, said band being embodied for positioning around said tire under elastic force.

A preferred embodiment comprises a set of device and at least two pump nipples for use with the device. The invention also relates to a method of inflating a tire.

An enclosure for air compressors is generally composed of a first shell body and a second shell body, wherein the first shell body defines a plurality of through holes, and the second shell body is formed with a plurality of snap joints. Each through hole is defined by a cylindrical surface and a substantially conical surface, between which a step is defined. In use, the snap joints can be inserted into the through holes respectively to have the snap joints snatched by the steps 14 formed in the through holes, so that the first and second shell bodies can be quickly assembled. In addition, a disassembly tool can be inserted into each through hole to have the snap joints removed from the through holes, so that the enclosure can be quickly disassembled.
