A puncture sealing agent is disclosed which comprises natural rubber latex, an aqueous solution of an adhesive and an antifreezing agent. The adhesive is a carbohydrate and the puncture sealing agent comprises a solid content resulting from the natural rubber latex in an amount of 21 wt % or less, based on the total weight of the puncture sealing agent.

Puncture sealing agent and puncture repair system

A puncture sealing agent is disclosed which comprises natural rubber latex, an aqueous solution of an adhesive, and an antifreezing agent. The natural rubber latex, the aqueous solution of the adhesive and the antifreezing agent are natural components and the adhesive is a carbohydrate.

An apparatus for sealing and/or inflating objects, in particular vehicle tires, having a housing () 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 () provided at the container, on the one hand, and at the housing, on the other hand, to establish a state of use,&#x2014;wherein at least two different coupling means () are provided at the housing for reducing the manufacturing costs which are each configured in order to cooperate with corresponding coupling means () of one of at least two types of containers which differ from one another with respect to the design of their coupling means.

Apparatus for sealing and/or inflating objects and self-closing screw coupling

An apparatus () for the introduction of pressurized air and/or sealant into a tire comprising a source of pressurized air having an outlet (), a container () containing the sealant which can be secured relative to a housing () of the source of pressurized air and which can be connected to the outlet of the source of pressurized air via an inlet (), a hose () which is connected at a first end to an outlet of the container that is facing in an outlet direction and which has a second end that can be connected to the tire, wherein the housing of the source of pressurized air comprises a first vertical wall (), with respect to which at least the outlet of the container is arranged laterally in a secured position and further comprises a second vertical wall () having means for guiding the hose and which is adjacent at least substantially at a right angle to the first housing wall, wherein, in its position in which the container is secured at the housing, the outlet direction of the container extends in parallel to the first vertical wall and, in a storage state, the hose is guided in parallel to the first housing wall at least for a certain distance starting from the outlet of the container and in the direction toward the second vertical housing wall and then along the second vertical housing wall.

Apparatus for the introduction of pressurized air and/or sealant into a tire

An apparatus for the introduction of air and/or sealant into a tire includes a container for the sealant which has an inlet and an outlet, wherein the outlet can be connected to the inlet end of a hose whose outlet end can be connected to the tire to be filled and includes a pressure generation means which can be selectively connected to the inlet of the container or to the inlet end of a hose whose outlet end can be connected to the tire to be filled. The same hose is provided for the connection between the pressure generation means and the tire to be filled, on the one hand, and between the outlet of the container and the tire to be filled, on the other hand, with respective couplings being provided at the pressure generation means, at the inlet of the container and at the outlet of the container as well as at the inlet end of the hose which selectively enable the inlet end of the hose to be connected directly to the pressure generation means or the inlet of the container to be connected to the pressure generation means and the inlet end of the hose to be connected to the outlet of the container.

Apparatus for the introduction of air and/or sealant into a tire

An apparatus for introducing air and/or sealant into a tire includes a container for the sealant which has an inlet and an outlet and a pressure generating means, wherein the inlet of the container is connectable to the pressure generating means and the outlet of the container () is connected or connectable to the inlet end () of a hose () whose outlet end is connectable to the tire to be filled. A latchable coupling is provided for connecting the pressure generation means to the inlet of the container, with two latching levers () provided at the container () being designed to release the locking convection of the coupling on a movement of the respective free lever ends toward one another.

Apparatus for introducing air and/or sealant into a tire

A device for the introduction of air and/or sealant into a tire, in particular a motor vehicle tire, having an electric pump or compressor, an electric connection cable for the pump or compressor which has a connection element, in particular a plug, at its end for the connection of the connection cable to a power supply, in particular to the cigarette lighter of a motor vehicle, having a hose for the air and/or the sealant which is or can be connected to the electric pump or compressor and whose other end can be connected to the tire to be filled, and having a housing for the reception of at least some of the device components, wherein the housing has in each case a separate receiver for the connection cable, on the one hand, and the connection element of the connection cable, on the other hand to improve the handling of the device.

Device for adding air and/or sealing means to a tire

Compressor

Apparatus for inserting air and/or sealant into a tire, comprising a container for the sealant having inlet and outlet connected or connectable to a hose whose other end is connectable to a tire to be filled, and means for generating pressure connectable via a switching valve selectably with the inlet of the container or with a hose, of which the other end is connectable to a tire to be filled. The same hose is provided for connecting the means for generating pressure to the tire to be filled and for connecting the outlet of the container and the tire to be filled. The switching valve is configured for providing either a direct fluid connection between the means for generating pressure and the hose or a fluid connection between the means for generating pressure and the inlet of the container and between the outlet of the container and the hose.
