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.
A device for sealing and inflating an inflatable object provided with an inflation valve, which comprises a pressure gas source, a container containing a sealing agent, and 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 for opening 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.
A device for sealing and inflating an inflatable object provided with an inflation valve, and of the kind that comprises a pressure gas source and a container containing a sealing agent and sealed by a seal which comprises a pneumatic cylinder having a base in one end and an aperture in another end, a plunger displaceable in direction towards the aperture, with the container being mounted on the pneumatic cylinder at the aperture of this cylinder, which thereby is covered by the seal, the plunger extending tightly through a partition dividing the pneumatic cylinder into a first chamber located nearest the seal and connectable to the object, and a second chamber located on the opposite side of the partition and connected to the pressure gas source, with the plunger upon use being displaced from a starting position in which its end part facing the seal of the container is outside the seal to a final position in which the end part is within the seal, the plunger having an axial flow channel, and a pin located in the pneumatic cylinder, which fills this channel until the end part is in an area within the seal.
A device for sealing and inflating an inflatable object provided with an inflation valve, which comprises a pressure gas source, a container containing a sealing agent, a first housing for the pressure gas source, a second housing for the container, with the two housings rotatably interconnected via a rotary valve for opening a first connection between the pressure gas source and the inflation valve of the object in a first position and for opening a second connection between the pressure gas source and the container and between this container and the valve of the object in a second position.
