A method for sealing and inflating inflatable articles, in particular for sealing and inflating motor vehicle tires, wherein, by means of a compressor which is driven preferably by means of an electric motor, a sealing and pumping pressure is generated, wherein, by means of the sealing and pumping pressure, via a valve and distributor device for sealant and compressed gas and via compressed-air and sealant hoses between valve and distributor device and an entry valve or an inlet nozzle of the inflatable article, a sealant situated in a sealant vessel connected to the valve and distributor device is conveyed into the inflatable article and, at the same time, the inflatable article is inflated to a predefined operating pressure, wherein, by configuration of the corresponding parameters, of the sealant and of the device, in or downstream of the entry valve/the inlet nozzle, the sealant is at least partially atomized to form an aerosol by virtue of the sealant or the sealant-air mixture being converted, in the entry valve or in the inlet nozzle, into a turbulent flow with a Reynolds number R.sub.e22300.

In a device for delivering a medium, especially tire sealant, which is to be delivered by means of a compressor from a container to a tire, wherein the compressor can be connected by a pipeline to the tire and a connection to the container emerges into this pipeline, the pipeline has a constriction upstream from the tire.

A portable glass repair kit system and method, more particularly, for windshield repair for laminated glass and the like to provide an easy to use, highly portable, and economical glass repair kit. The glass repair kit does not require specialized equipment such as an injector, plugger device, suction cups, or require any additional tools or specialized knowledge of how to use the repair kit. The glass repair kit contains a resin which may be urged by a user through slight pressure after the glass repair kit is adhered over an impact point and any cracks thereby repairing a windshield in a more cost effective, time efficient, and user friendly way.

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 invention provides a tire valve stem assembly for a pneumatic tire having a valve stem for inflating the tire and having a member extending from the valve stem into an interior of the tire to prevent clogging or minimize clogging of the valve stem by leak sealing material.

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.

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.

To control compressed air to a prescribed pressure without using a relief valve and a chamber and to suppress deviation of the pressure. A compressor device 2 of a puncture repair kit 1 has a pressure gauge 6. The pressure gauge 6 has a tubular body portion 18 provided in a front end portion with a communicating hole 21 communicating with a surge chamber 12B, a piston 19 movable within the tubular body portion 18 in the longitudinal direction by the compressed air from the communicating hole 21, and a spring 20 biasing the piston 19 toward the front end and changing its displacement according to the magnitude of the pressure of the compressed air. An exhaust port 25 is formed on the peripheral wall of the tubular body portion 18. The exhaust port 25 releases the compressed air when a seal ring 23 of the piston 19 exceeds the exhaust port 25.

A free radical cure catalyst composition is provided that includes a free radical cure catalyst present as a paste at 20? C. A cure inhibitor is dissolved in a solvent compatible with the free radical cure catalyst paste to form an inhibitor solution that is mixed into the paste. A filler composition is also provided that includes an ethylenically unsaturated resin, a crosslinking agent; and the free radical cure catalyst composition. A method of repairing a vehicle body is provided that includes an uncured layer of the composition as noted above is applied to a substrate. The uncured layer is modified during a working time of from 8 to 35 minutes. The uncured layer is allowed to cure under free radical conditions to form a cured layer.

The present application discloses a sealant container and a tire repair and inflation device using the sealant container. The sealant container comprises: a container body having an internal space for storing sealant and a container mouth with an inner wall; and a core component installed onto the container mouth and extending toward the internal space after installation. The core component has an outer end, an inner end, and a first channel between the outer end and the inner end inside the core component for passage of gas, wherein the outer end is provided with an interface, and the inner end is provided with at least one openable outlet to communicate with the internal space when the outlet is opened; and wherein the inner wall further defines a second channel for passage of sealant. The sealant container has a simplified structure and good sealing performance.
