Abstract
A system for the sealing of inflatable articles, in particular tires, has at least one container containing a sealant. This container has a gas inlet and an outlet which can be coupled to an article to be sealed. A source of gas pressure, in particular an electrically drivable compressor, is connectable to the gas inlet of the container and at least partly accommodated in a housing. The housing of the gas pressure source has at least one coupling section at which the container can be coupled mechanically to the housing, in particular coupled in form-matched and/or force transmitting manner, to establish a state of use in such a way that the housing of the gas pressure source standing on the ground serves as a pedestal for the container, which is oriented in accordance with its intended purpose.
Claims24
A system for the sealing of inflatable articles, in particular tires, having at least one container (11) containing a sealant and having a gas inlet (13) and an outlet (15) which can be coupled to an article to be sealed, a source of gas pressure connectable to the gas inlet (13) of the container (11) and at least partly accommodated in a housing (17), in particular an electrically drivable compressor, with the housing (17) of the gas pressure source having at least one coupling section (19) at which the container (11) can be coupled mechanically to the housing (17), in particular coupled in form-locked and/or force transmitting manner, to establish a state of use in such a way that the housing (17) of the gas pressure source standing on the ground serves as a pedestal for the container (11) which is oriented in accordance with its intended purpose.
