Friction driving mechanism for converting a rotating movement of a member into an axial movement of the same and consisting of driving means and to its rotating member connected friction means. The friction means comprises a holderin which there is a number of mutually movable and with the holderin relation to the shaft rotating balls as the axes of rotation of the ballsare oblique in relation to the longitudinal axis if the shaftEach of the rotatable ballsare according to the invention embedded in rotatable bearing bushesIf the shaftmeets a stop so that the ballsno longer are able to transmit an axial movement to the shaftthe axes of rotation of the ballswill try to adjust so as to be approximately parallel to the shaftAs a result the ballsat regular intervals will change position so that the wear is equally distributed over the whole surface of each ball. The advantage is that the friction driving mechanism has a longer lifetime than previously known.

Friction driving mechanism

A device serving for sealing and inflating an inflatable object provided with an inflation valve, for example a tire. The device is of the kind that includes a pressure gas source and a container containing a sealing agent. In addition, the device includes a reversing valve for opening a first connection between the pressure gas source and the inflation valve of the object in a first position and a second connection between the pressure gas source and the container and further between this container and the inflation valve of the object in a second position. In one mode of operation, the device can be used for inflating an object having gone flat to a specified pressure, while in a second mode of operation, it can be used for sealing and inflating a punctured object. Thereby, the heavy and bulky spare wheel which drivers conventionally have in the car is rendered dispensable.
