The compressor unit (38) is usable with a vehicle wheel rim (34) having a pressurized medium supply device (22) for a tire that is mounted on the vehicle wheel rim (34), as well as a vehicle having a vehicle wheel that includes such a vehicle wheel rim (34).

An apparatus and method for a cap for dispensing sealant from a pressurized bottle, to a tire stem valve, includes a cap body, a hose positioned within the cap body where the hose is configured to wrap around at least one storage groove inside a circumference of the cap. The at least one storage groove is helical and the cap also includes a diameter of the cap body where the diameter includes a length of the hose wrapped around the at least one storage groove.

An air pipe device of an air compressor contains a connector of an air pipe configured to output fluid pressure so as to inflate airs and to feed sealant when the air compressor operates. The air pipe device contains a connection pipe, and the connection pipe includes an open segment defined on a first end thereof and configured to connect with the connector of the air pipe of the air compressor. In addition, the connection pipe includes a stop segment formed on a second end thereof, such that the connection pipe is configured to connect a twin tire with the connector of the air compressor so as to inflate airs and feed sealant.

A mixing device for mixing a puncture repair liquid and compressed air includes a mixing chamber, a first inlet for supplying the compressed air to the mixing chamber, a second inlet for supplying the puncture repair liquid to the mixing chamber, and an outlet for discharging a mixture of the puncture repair liquid and the compressed air from the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber includes a deposition section for depositing agglomerates contained in the puncture repair liquid. The deposition section is provided between the second inlet and the outlet.

A mixing device for mixing a puncture repair liquid and compressed air includes a mixing chamber, a first inlet for supplying the compressed air in a first flow direction to the mixing chamber, a second inlet for supplying the puncture repair liquid to the mixing chamber, and an outlet for discharging a mixture of the puncture repair liquid and the compressed air from the mixing chamber. The outlet discharges the mixture in a second flow direction at a position displaced from a virtual line extending from the first inlet in the first flow direction.

A method of using a device of inflating and repairing a broken tire contains a step of: placing the device on the ground. The device contains: an accommodation box, a sealant can, a cap, and at least one delivery hose. The accommodation box accommodates an air compressor for compressing air so as to produce compressed air. The accommodation box includes a first coupling orifice and a second coupling orifice. The sealant can includes a body in which sealant is received, and the cap is connected on an open end of the body. The cap includes an air inflow tube and a sealant supply tube), and the cap is engaged on the first coupling orifice or the second coupling orifice. The at least one delivery hose includes a first connector and a second connector connected with two components, thus inflating and repairing the broken tire diversely.

A puncture repair liquid unit and a puncture repair kit each has an extraction cap and a container. The extraction cap has a first flow path, a second flow path, and a third flow path. The first flow path extends between a first inlet connectable to an external compressor device for generating compressed air and a first outlet opening in the container. The second flow path extends between a second inlet opening in the container and a second outlet for taking out a puncture repair liquid from the extraction cap to supply to a punctured tire to be repaired. The second inlet communicates with the first outlet via the space of the container. The third flow path communicates with the first and second flow paths outside the space of the container so that a portion of the compressed air in the first flow path flows into the second flow path.

An inflation valve for a tubeless tire may include a valve body defining a cavity having a proximal opening and a distal opening. A valve stem extends through the cavity and includes a plug at a proximal end of the valve stem. The proximal opening of the cavity is defined by a beveled surface, and an outer diameter of the beveled surface is larger than an inner diameter of the valve body. The valve is transitionable between: a) a closed position, where a resilient surface of the plug engages the beveled surface to seal the cavity, and b) an open position, where the resilient surface of the plug is spaced from the beveled surface to unseal the cavity.

A tire repair device with an inflation compressor and a sealant material canister, and method of operation. A pressure gauge determines a tire inflation pressure, and a controller identities a completion of a sealant injection upon a pressure drop measured at the pressure gauge. The controller is configured to automatically shut off the inflation compressor when a tire pressure meets a predetermined inflation value after the pressure drop.

The invention relates to a device (1) for transporting compressed air and/or sealant into a pneumatic vehicle tire, comprising at least one gas connection (3) for connecting to at least one compressed-air source (24), at least one sealant connection (2) for connecting to at least one sealant container (6), at least two channels, wherein a first channel is a sealant transport channel (4) for transporting a sealant dispersion from the sealant connection into a pneumatic vehicle tire and a second channel is a compressed-air transport channel (5) for transporting compressed air to the sealant connection or to the sealant transport channel, wherein the sealant dispersion comprises sealant particles and compressed air as dispersion matrix, characterized in that the device has a movable switchover element (7), wherein the movable switchover element can be moved in the direction of the sealant connection by means of a compressed-air flow coming from the gas connection and has a severing portion (8) for severing a seal. The invention also relates to a portable/transportable system (38) and to corresponding methods and corresponding uses.
