Description

Technical Field

[0001] [Related Applications] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 727,419, entitled "Tire Sealant Container for a Flat Tire Repair Kit," filed on December 3, 2024, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional devices for extracting tire sealant from a tire sealant container, particularly a pressure-resistant container, are known and are commercially available in various forms and designs. These are generally used in combination with a compressor as a flat tire set in a vehicle instead of an integrated spare tire.

[0003] A tire sealant container typically has to be connected to a compressor and installed in a complex manner to ensure that the tire sealant is extracted from the tire sealant container. In this regard, tire sealant containers that are installed upright or upside down and connected to a pressure source are known for pumping tire sealant from the tire sealant container into a vehicle tire when the tire is punctured.

[0004] A disadvantage of conventional devices is that in order to pump the tire sealant from the tire sealant container into a defective tire by pressurizing the tire sealant container, the compressor may require a great deal of labor just to connect to the tire sealant container using valves, switching valves, mechanical devices, etc. In addition, conventional tire sealant containers are costly to install, complex to operate, and too heavy and expensive to manufacture.

[0005] In particular, the drawbacks of conventional systems, especially tire sealant containers, are that they are relatively large, complexly designed, relatively expensive to manufacture, and occupy a lot of space in the vehicle's design space, such as the trunk area. [Overview of the Initiative]

[0019] The present disclosure relates generally to a punctured tire repair kit, and more particularly to an apparatus for supplying a tire sealant from a tire sealant container. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a novel tire sealant container for a punctured tire repair kit.

[0020] The present disclosure, among other things, addresses the problem of defining a tire sealant container that eliminates the stated drawbacks and that can be used, if necessary, to simply and inexpensively extract a tire sealant into a defective tire. By doing so, the tire sealant container enables a reduction in the weight of the overall punctured tire repair kit and further reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0021] According to a first aspect, the underlying problem of the present disclosure is solved by the tire sealant container according to independent claim 1.

[0022] Alternatively or additionally, the underlying problem of the present disclosure is solved by the tire sealant container according to parallel claim 2 or by parallel claim 3.

[0023] According to a further aspect of the present disclosure, the underlying problem of the present disclosure is solved by the tire sealant container according to parallel claim 15.

[0024] Advantageous further developments of the tire sealant container according to the present disclosure are specified in the dependent claims.

[0025] Accordingly, the present disclosure relates in particular to a tire sealant container for a puncture tire repair kit, the tire sealant container comprising a hollow body that is at least partially or in a predetermined area particularly cylindrical, preferably cylindrical with a circular cross-section, having a bottom lower container portion, a lid upper container portion, and a sheath portion connecting the lower container portion to the upper container portion.

[0026] According to the first embodiment, and in particular according to the present disclosure, the upper container portion on the lid side is beaded with an upper flanged rim on the lid side edge region of the sheath portion, and in particular is clamped with a peripheral seal interposed therebetween.

[0027] Alternatively or additionally, the bottom lower container portion is beaded with a lower flanged rim on the bottom edge region of the sheath portion, and preferably clamped with a periphery seal interposed.

[0028] In other words, according to aspects of the present disclosure, a tire sealant container is provided that can be manufactured in an inexpensive manner, particularly because it is easy to implement. Similar to conventional beverage cans, the sheath portion of the tire sealant container can be made from sheet metal, and the upper container portion on the lid side and / or the lower container portion on the bottom side are connected to the sheath portion via an upper flanged rim and a lower flanged rim, respectively.

[0029] In further alternative or additional embodiments, the upper container portion on the lid side may have a dome-shaped region adjacent to the inside of the upper flanged rim via a circumferentially upward-opening flute, and particularly extending convexly upward beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim, the dome-shaped region having an adapter projecting upward at least partially or in a predetermined area from the axial center, the adapter having a port for a connecting line, in particular a connecting hose.

[0030] Adapters equipped with ports for connection lines are designed, in particular, as plastic parts, preferably injection-molded plastic parts.

[0031] According to an embodiment of an adapter having a port for a connection line, the adapter comprises a lower region which is tapered at least partially or in a predetermined area toward the bottom lower container portion and is at least substantially frustoconical when viewed in cross-section of the adapter, and is received inside the tire sealant container, the lower region of the adapter being connected to an upper region of the adapter which protrudes upward beyond the lid upper container portion via a particularly fluted rim region of the circumferential direction of the adapter.

[0032] In this regard, it can be understood that the dome-shaped region of the upper container portion on the lid side, which arches upward in a convex shape beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim, has an axially central receiving opening into which the adapter is inserted and held.

[0033] In particular, according to the modified design of the embodiment mentioned immediately before the tire sealant container in this disclosure, the edge region of the receiving opening at the axial center of the dome-shaped region of the upper container portion on the lid side, which arches upward in a convex shape beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim, is pressed into the circumferential, particularly fluted, edge region of the adapter, which is particularly bent, preferably beaded, and clamped with a periphery seal interposed therebetween.

[0034] Alternatively or additionally, the edge region of the receiving opening at the axial center of the dome-shaped region of the upper container portion on the lid side, which arches convexly upward beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim, may have a cross-sectional contour that is at least partially or in a predetermined area complementary to the cross-sectional contour of the circumferential, particularly flute-shaped, edge region of the adapter.

[0035] Here, it is particularly understood that the circumferential, especially flute-shaped, edge region of the adapter has a circular arch-shaped cross-sectional contour.

[0036] In the embodiment of the tire sealant container according to this disclosure, the edge region of the receiving opening at the axial center of the dome-shaped region of the upper container portion on the lid side, which arches upward in a convex shape beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim, is curved outward with respect to the receiving opening at the axial center.

[0037] The upper region of the adapter features, in particular, a plug-in coupling port in the axial center. However, other types of ports, such as bayonet ports or jaw coupling ports, are also conceivable. The corresponding ports on the adapter serve to releasably receive connection lines, especially connection hoses.

[0038] The adapter preferably comprises a rising portion which is integrally formed with the adapter and extends from the lower region of the adapter toward the bottom lower container portion, and which has an axially central fluid channel.

[0039] In this regard, it can be understood that the upper region projecting upward at least partially or in a predetermined area from the axial center of the adapter is configured to be coaxial and / or concentric with the fluid channel in the axial center of the riser and comprises a fluid channel that is in fluid communication with the fluid channel in the axial center of the riser.

[0040] According to embodiments of tire sealant containers of this disclosure, the adapter of the tire sealant container comprises a support structure, or a corresponding support structure is attached to (associated with) the adapter. Using the support structure, the adapter supports itself on the central region of the dome-shaped region of the upper container portion on the lid side, particularly on the upper

[0041] A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a tire sealant container having a hollow body that is at least partially or in a particular area particularly cylindrical, preferably having a circular cross-section, comprising a bottom-side lower container portion, a lid-side upper container portion, and a sheath portion connecting the lower container portion to the upper container portion.

[0042] In this further embodiment of the present disclosure, in particular, the lower container portion at the bottom of the tire sealant container is provided with a port for a connection line, in particular a connection hose, that is in fluid communication with an air compressor.

[0043] In particular, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the upper container portion on the lid side is adjacent to the inside of the upper flanged rim via a circumferentially upward-opening flute and comprises a dome-shaped region that arches convexly upward in particular beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim, the dome-shaped region having an adapter that projects upward in at least part or in a predetermined area in the axial center, the adapter comprising a port for a connecting line, in particular a connecting hose.

[0044] In other words, in this configuration of a tire sealant container, the compressed air port of the tire sealant container is located in the lower container portion at the bottom, and the tire sealant outlet is configured as an adapter on the upper container portion at the lid.

[0045] This has the advantage of potentially shortening or even eliminating the connection line that supplies compressed air to the tire sealant container.

[0046] The ports on the bottom of the lower container are formed, in particular, by adapters connected to the bottom of the lower container.

[0047] The ports in the lower container portion at the bottom are preferably positioned off-center with respect to the longitudinal direction of the tire sealant container, although other design variations are also possible.

[0048] The lower container portion at the bottom preferably includes a receiving opening into which a port for a connection line that communicates with an air compressor is inserted and held.

[0049] In this regard, it can be understood that the edge region of the receiving opening of the lower container portion on the bottom side is preferably pushed into a port for a connection line that communicates fluidly with an air compressor, and is preferably clamped with a peripheral seal interposed.

[0050] The edge region of the receiving opening in the lower container portion on the bottom side can be bent toward the upper container portion on the lid side.

[0051] Preferably, the port for the connection line communicating with the air compressor and the fluid is configured as a female plug. However, other design variations are also acceptable.

[0052] For stability and to improve the pressure resistance of the tire sealant container, the lower container portion on the bottom side should be designed to curve convexly at least partially or in a predetermined area toward the upper container portion on the lid side.

[0053] The tire sealant container contains tire sealant, which is liquid under atmospheric pressure and within a temperature range of at least approximately -30°C to approximately +60°C, but does not contain propellant gas.

[0054] According to the embodiment of the tire sealant container described herein, the tire sealant container has an overall length of approximately 140 mm to approximately 250 mm, preferably approximately 160 mm to approximately 230 mm, and a maximum diameter of approximately 50 mm to approximately 90 mm, preferably approximately 60 mm to approximately 75 mm.

[0055] An exemplary embodiment of the tire sealant container 1 according to this disclosure relates to a tire sealant container 1 for a puncture tire repair kit. The tire sealant container 1 is configured to contain a tire sealant that is liquid at atmospheric pressure and within a temperature range of at least about -30°C to about +60°C, and does not require propellant gas to discharge the tire sealant.

[0056] The tire sealant container 1 according to the embodiment shown in the drawing has an overall length of approximately 140 mm to approximately 250 mm, preferably approximately 160 mm to approximately 230 mm, and a maximum diameter of approximately 50 mm to approximately 90 mm, preferably approximately 60 mm to approximately 75 mm.

[0057] In short, an exemplary embodiment of the tire sealant container 1 according to the present disclosure is a hollow body that is cylindrical with a circular cross-section at least partially or in a predetermined area, and is formed by a lower container portion 2 on the bottom side, an upper container portion 3 on the lid side, and a sheath portion 4 connecting the lower container portion 2 to the upper container portion 3.

[0058] The upper container portion 3 on the lid side is bead-formed to have an upper flanged rim 5 on the lid-side edge region of the sheath portion 4. Here, a peripheral seal 6 can be formed on the flanged rim 5, but this is not absolutely necessary.

[0059] The bottom lower container portion 2 has a bead-formed lower flanged rim 7 on the bottom edge region of the sheath portion 4, and is preferably clamped with a peripheral seal 6 interposed.

[0060] As shown in the figures, an exemplary embodiment of the tire sealant container 1 according to the present disclosure includes a dome-shaped region 9 that arches upward in a convex manner beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim 5.

[0061] The convex, upward-arching, dome-shaped region 9 of the upper container portion 3 on the lid side is connected to the upper flanged rim 5 of the tire sealant container 1 via a flute 8 that opens upward in the circumferential direction.

[0062] The convex, upward-arching, dome-shaped region 9 includes an adapter 10 with a port 11 for a connection line, particularly a connection hose, located axially centered relative to the tire sealant container 1.

[0063] As can be seen particularly from the cross-sectional view in Figure 2 or the detailed view in Figure 7, the adapter 10, which has a port 11 for the connection line, is constructed as a plastic part. In particular, the adapter 10, which has a port 11 for the connection line, is constructed as an injection-molded plastic part.

[0064] Furthermore, the cross-sectional view in Figure 2, and in particular the detailed view in Figure 7, shows that the adapter 10 is tapered at least partially or in a predetermined area toward the bottom lower container portion 2, and comprises a lower region 12 that is at least substantially frustoconical when viewed from a cross-section of the adapter 10. This lower region 12 of the adapter 10 is received inside the tire sealant container 1.

[0065] In particular, the detailed view in Figure 7 shows that the lower region 12 of the adapter 10 is connected to the upper region 13 of the adapter 10, which protrudes upward beyond the upper container portion 3 on the lid side, via the circumferential annular edge region 14 of the adapter 10.

[0066] The dome-shaped region 9 of the upper container portion 3 on the lid side, which arches upward in a convex shape beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim 5, has an axially central receiving opening into which the adapter 10 is inserted and held.

[0067] Referring again to the detailed view in Figure 7, note that the edge region of the receiving opening at the axial center of the dome-shaped region 9 of the upper container portion 3 on the lid side, which arches upward in a convex shape beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim 5, is pushed into the circumferential flute-shaped edge region 14 of the adapter 10, and is particularly bent and clamped with the periphery seal 6 interposed therebetween.

[0068] The edge region of the receiving opening at the axial center of the dome-shaped region 9 of the upper container portion 3 on the lid side, which arches upward in a convex shape beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim 5, has a cross-sectional contour complementary to the cross-sectional contour of the circumferential flute-shaped edge region of the adapter 10. Here, a convex arch-shaped cross-sectional contour is used.

[0069] The edge region of the receiving opening at the axial center of the dome-shaped region 9 of the upper container portion 3 on the lid side, which arches upward in a convex shape beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim 5, curves outward with respect to the receiving opening at the axial center.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment of the tire sealant container 1 according to this disclosure, as shown in the drawings, the upper region 13 of the adapter 10 is provided with an axially centered plug-in coupling port. However, other types of ports, such as bayonet ports or jaw coupling ports, are also conceivable.

[0071] The plug-in coupling port 11 in the axial center of the upper region 13 of the adapter 10 is used to connect connection lines, particularly connection hoses.

[0072] The cross-sectional view in Figure 2 shows that the adapter 10 of an exemplary embodiment of the tire sealant container 1 according to the present disclosure is integrally formed with the adapter 10 and comprises a rising portion 16 that extends from the lower region 12 of the adapter 10 toward the bottom lower container portion 2 and defines or provides an axially central fluid channel 17.

[0073] Furthermore, the cross-sectional view in Figure 2 and the detailed view in Figure 7 show that the upper region 13, which protrudes upward in at least part or a predetermined area from the axial center of the adapter 10, is configured to be coaxial and concentric with the fluid channel 17 in the axial center of the rising portion 16, and includes a fluid channel 18 that is in fluid communication with the fluid channel 17 in the axial center of the rising portion 16.

[0074] From the explanatory diagrams in Figures 1 and 2, it can be seen that an exemplary embodiment of the tire sealant container 1 according to the present disclosure includes a support structure 19 attached to the adapter 10, and via the support structure 19, the adapter 10 is supported over the upper region 13 of the adapter 10 on the central region of the dome-shaped region 9 of the upper container portion 3 on the lid side, which arches upward in a convex shape beyond the upper edge of the upper flanged rim 5.

[0075] Furthermore, an exemplary embodiment of the tire sealant container 1 according to the present disclosure shown in the drawings is particularly characterized in that the bottom lower container portion 2 is provided with a port 20 for a connection line for fluid communication with an air compressor or for the outlet of an air compressor.

[0076] The port 20 of the bottom lower container portion 2 is formed by an adapter connected to the bottom lower container portion 2.

[0077] The top view in Figure 3 shows that the port 20 of the lower container portion 2 on the bottom side is positioned off-center with respect to the longitudinal extension direction of the tire sealant container 1.

[0078] Referring to the detailed view in Figure 8, it should be noted that the bottom lower container portion 2 of the exemplary embodiment of the tire sealant container 1 according to this disclosure preferably has a receiving opening into which an outlet port 20 for which a connection line for fluid communication with an air compressor, or for an air compressor directly, is inserted and held.
