An apparatus for dispensing pressurized air and/or tire sealant from a pressurized can. The apparatus comprising a nozzle and a locking element for the nozzle and/or a cap including a free length of hose that is positioned within the cap. The locking element locks the nozzle in the non-dispensing position for safety during non-use or in a dispensing position for ease of use. The hose provides an extension for the nozzle for hard to reach places, and stores fully wound within the cap, such as along the inner circumference of the cap.

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.

Provided is a stable and highly productive method for producing a pneumatic tire. The present invention relates to a method for producing a pneumatic tire, the method including: sequentially preparing a sealant by mixing raw materials including an organic peroxide using a twin screw kneading extruder; and sequentially applying the sealant to the inner periphery of a tire.

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.

The invention relates to a distributed system (54) for supplying pressurized medium, in particular compressed air, in a vehicle (10), a wheel unit (14) for a vehicle (10), and a decentralized integrated pressurized medium supply device (70) for a wheel unit (14) with a rotatably supported vehicle tire (16). The pressurized medium supply device (70) has a decentralized compressor unit (74) and has a pressurized medium path (98) that extends between the decentralized compressor unit (74) and a rim body (92) of the vehicle tire (16), which rim body is associated with a wheel body side (80) of the wheel unit (14). The decentralized compressor unit (74) has an energy supply connection, which can be connected to an energy supply unit (104) via an energy supply path (106). The pressurized medium supply device (70) is associated with a support side (82) and the wheel body side (80) of the wheel unit (14). The pressurized medium path (98) or energy supply path (106) includes a rotary/stationary transition (116, 158) between the support side (82) and the wheel body side (80).

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.

A kit for repairing a tire, comprising, a first pressurized container including a first fluid and a second pressurized container including a second fluid. The first fluid comprises a first propellant and an emulsion comprising styrene butadiene rubber, a foaming agent, and an antioxidant. The second fluid comprises isopropyl alcohol and a second propellant.

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.

The pressure of compressed air supplied to an object to be filled with air is controlled at a specified pressure or less without using a relief valve. Given that a cylinder volume (stroke volume) during a piston moves from the lower dead point to the top dead point is V1, a cylinder volume (compression volume) when the piston reaches the top dead point is V2, the atmospheric pressure is P.sub.0, and the specified pressure is P.sub.P, the compression volume V2 in the compressor system satisfies the following expression (1). The diameter D of the air intake hole of an air intake valve provided on the piston is 3 to 15 mm.
0.8{V1P.sub.0/(P.sub.PP.sub.0)}=<V2<1.0{V1P.sub.0/(P.sub.PP.sub.0)}(1)
