Abstract
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.
