A device for dispensing pressurized air and/or tire sealant. The device includes a placard attached to a device housing and including a plurality of warning messages in different languages. Each of the messages is a repetition of a same or similar warning translated into each of the official languages of the localities where the device is to be sold or used. A mechanical fastener can be used to connect the placard to the housing so that the placard lies on and parallel to a top surface of the housing.

An apparatus for sealing and/or inflating objects, in particular vehicle tires, having a housing (1) in which a gas pressure source, in particular a compressed air source, is accommodated, and having a container with sealant which can be coupled to the housing via coupling means (18,20) provided at the container, on the one hand, and at the housing, on the other hand, to establish a state of use,wherein at least two different coupling means (9,10) are provided at the housing for reducing the manufacturing costs which are each configured in order to cooperate with corresponding coupling means (18, 20) of one of at least two types of containers which differ from one another with respect to the design of their coupling means.

A portable inflator includes a housing having or including a compressor. The housing may also contain or include a handle and stand. The housing has an outer surface at least in part formed or constructed of a light reflective material. Suitable light reflective materials can include reflective plastic materials or the like.

A puncture repair liquid holding container includes: a container main body provided with and opening portion and a holding portion where puncture repair liquid is held; and a cap attached to the opening portion; wherein a cross-sectional shape of the holding portion is non-true circular, and a metal reinforcing member provided around an entire circumference of the holding portion is provided on at least a portion of the holding portion in a height direction.

An air pressure maintenance apparatus and method uses one or more high-pressure gas storage tanks coupled to an inflation hose via a calibrated rigid measurement chamber and automated system of valves to permit rapid inflation of a tire or other inflatable device to an accurate target pressure accounting for temperature effects, and recording accurate pre- and post-inflation pressure for analysis of deflation over time.

A tire repair and inflation device having a housing, a cavity for receiving and removably retaining a disposable self-contained aerosol container as a source of sealant, a disposable self-contained aerosol container containing sealant under pressure and a release valve. The device also includes a compressor and a multi-way valve, the multi-way valve having a first inlet for receiving sealant from the disposable self-contained aerosol container upon actuation of the release valve and a second inlet for receiving air under pressure from the compressor and an outlet for selectively discharging sealant and compressed air to a tire under repair, wherein the sealant being delivered to the multi-way valve and the compressed air being delivered to the multi-way valve act independently of one another.

An air valve connecting device or attachment includes a mouth engaged in a housing and having a compartment for engaging with either a US or French inflation valve, an actuator slidably engaged in the housing and engageable with the mouth, a tube slidably engaged in the actuator for selectively engaging with the inflation valve, and extendible into the mouth for selectively engaging with the other inflation valve, one or more catches are slidably engaged in the actuator and engageable into the actuator for engaging with the tube and for retaining the tube to the actuator, and a cam member is engageable with the actuator for forcing the actuator to compress the mouth and to grasp the inflation valve to the housing.
