Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
First Embodiment
As shown in FIG. 1, a puncture repair kit 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes a compressor unit 2 and a container unit 3. Although the puncture repair kit 1 is used in a state where the container unit 3 is connected to the compressor unit 2, FIG. 1 shows a state before the connection.
The compressor unit 2 has, for example, a housing 4 and a compressor 5 disposed therein.

  The housing 4 is, for example, a flat rectangular box, and a bottom surface 4A that contacts the ground when the compressor unit 2 is placed on the ground or the like during use, and a side surface 4B extending upward from an edge of the bottom surface 4A. , And a top surface 4C continuous with the side surface and opposed to the bottom surface.

  The compressor 5 has, for example, a known structure using a motor, a piston, a cylinder and the like (not shown). The compressor unit 2 may include, for example, a switch 6 for switching ON / OFF of the compressor, and a display unit 7 for displaying pressure or the like in the housing 4.

  In a preferred embodiment, in the compressor unit 2, for example, a recess 9 in which a part of the container unit 3 is accommodated is formed on the side surface 4 </ b> B of the housing 4. The recess 9 in the present embodiment is formed by cutting away a part of the side surface 4B and the top surface 4C of the housing 4 and has, for example, a bottom surface 9A and a side surface 9B. For example, the compressed air discharge port 10 for discharging the compressed air from the compressor 5 is disposed in the recess 9 so as to be exposed.

  In the present embodiment, the compressed air discharge port 10 is provided on the side surface 9B of the recess 9. The compressed air discharge port 10 is, for example, a cylindrical shape having an opening and extending along the X-axis direction, and the opening is disposed in the −X direction. In the present embodiment, the X-axis direction is the first direction.

The container unit 3 includes a container 13 for containing a puncture repair agent and a cap 14 attached to the mouth of the container 13.
The cap 14 is connected to the compressed air discharge port 10 to receive the compressed air, and an outlet for taking out the compressed air received from the puncture repair agent contained in the container 13 and the compressed air inlet 15. And 16.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the compressed air receiving port 15 of the present embodiment has a tubular shape with an opening, and is configured to be insertable into the compressed air discharge port 10.
Therefore, by moving the container unit 3 in the X direction with respect to the compressor unit 2, the compressed air receiving port 15 can be inserted and connected to the compressed air discharge port 10. As a result, the high pressure air generated by the compressor 5 can be supplied into the container 13 of the container unit 3. In the present embodiment, since both the compressed air discharge port 10 and the compressed air reception port 15 have a cylindrical shape extending along the first direction (for example, the X axis direction in the present embodiment), the compressed air discharge port 10 and the compressed air inlet 15 are connected in a first direction (in the present embodiment, for example, in the X-axis direction).

The compressor unit 2 of the present embodiment further includes a stopper 8 for retaining the connected container unit 3.
The stopper 8 of the present embodiment is preferably provided on the outer surface of the housing 4 (for example, the side surface 4B of the housing 4). The stopper 8 is movably provided, for example, along a second direction different from the first direction (X-axis direction in FIG. 1). In the present embodiment, the second direction is the Y-axis direction in FIG.

  FIGS. 2 and 3 are front views showing a connected state in which the compressed air receiving port 15 of the container unit 3 is connected to the compressed air discharge port 10 of the compressor unit 2. The stopper 8 is configured to be slidable from the second position B shown in FIG. 2 to the first position A shown in FIG. Here, the stopper 8 is configured to be movable to the first position A along the second direction in a connected state in which the compressed air receiving port 15 of the container unit 3 is connected to the compressed air discharge port 10 of the compressor unit 2 It is done. The stopper 8 at the first position A can prevent the container unit 3 from moving away from the compressor unit 2 along the first direction by abutting on the container unit 3. That is, when the container unit 3 tries to move away from the compressor unit 2 in the −X direction, the container unit 3 abuts on the stopper 8 and the stopper 8 prevents the container unit 3 from moving apart. it can. This helps to suppress high pressure air leakage and the like.

  Therefore, in the puncture repair kit 1 according to the present embodiment, when the container unit 3 is connected to the compressor unit 2 in the retaining state, the container unit 3 is connected to the compressor unit 2 (ie, the compressed air discharge port 10 and The operation of connecting the compressed air receiving port 15 and the operation of retaining the container unit 3 in the compressor unit 2 (that is, the operation of moving the stopper 8 to the first position A) can be performed separately. . Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the user can easily perform the connection operation between the compressor unit 2 and the container unit 3 with a slight force.

  In addition, since the stopper 8 is movable to the first position A along the second direction different from the first direction, the stopper 8 is a compressor before being moved to the first position A. It can be located outside the connection path along the first direction of the container unit 3 to the unit 2. Thereby, the stopper 8 does not disturb the connection operation of the container unit 3 to the compressor unit 2, and the connection operation can be smoothly performed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the preferred embodiment, the housing 4 may be provided with a slide groove 4B1 on the side surface 4B, for example. The stopper 8 may be fitted into the slide groove 4B1 and configured to be slidable in the direction along the side surface 4B. As a result, the movement of the stopper 8 becomes more stable and the connection operation becomes easier.

In a preferred embodiment, the stopper 8 and the slide groove 4B1 are configured to extend long in the Y-axis direction on the side surface 4B on the -X side of the housing 4, for example.
In a preferred embodiment, the side surface 4B of the housing 4 may be provided with a slit 4B2 at the extended position in which the slide groove 4B1 is extended in the Y direction to accommodate a part of the stopper 8.

  As a preferable aspect, as shown in FIG. 1, the container unit 3 of the present embodiment has, for example, a guided portion 17 at its lower end. The guided portion 17 of the present embodiment is provided, for example, at the lower end portion of the cap 14. The guided portion 17 of the present embodiment is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape extending in the X-axis direction.

  As a preferable aspect, as shown in FIG. 1, the compressor unit 2 of the present embodiment has a guide portion 11 which is a space for accommodating the guided portion 17, for example. The guide portion 11 of the present embodiment is, for example, a groove opened in the bottom surface 9A of the recess 9. The guide portion 11 of the present embodiment extends, for example, in the X-axis direction.

Thereby, at the time of the connection work of the compressor unit 2 and the container unit 3, the user slides the guided portion 17 along the guide portion 11, whereby the compressed air discharge port 10 and the compressed air inlet 15 and Alignment can be easily performed. Therefore, the connection operation between the compressor unit 2 and the container unit 3 can be easily performed.
For example, the guided portion 17 may be a groove and the guide portion 11 may be a protrusion.

  As a preferred embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the stopper 8 at the first position A is located on the −X direction side of the guided portion 17 and abuts on the guided portion 17. Thereby, the movement of the container unit 3 in the −X direction, that is, the movement of the container unit 3 away from the compressor unit 2 is prevented by the stopper 8. In other words, the container unit 3 is prevented from coming off the compressor unit 2.

  Thus, as a preferable mode, for example, the guided portion 17 of the present embodiment has a function of facilitating the connection operation between the compressor unit 2 and the container unit 3 in cooperation with the guide portion 11, and the stopper 8 in cooperation with the stopper 8. It also functions as a function to prevent the container unit 3 from coming off with respect to the compressor unit 2.

  The other member with which the stopper 8 abuts is not limited to the guided portion 17. As long as the separation movement of the container unit 3 from the compressor unit 2 is prevented by the stopper 8, any part of the container unit 3 may abut on the stopper 8.

  As a preferred mode, for example, the stopper 8 of the present embodiment at the first position A has the Y-direction end inserted in the slit 4B2. As a preferred mode, for example, the stopper 8 of the present embodiment at the first position A has the end portion on the -Y direction side fitted in the slide groove 4B1. Thus, the stopper 8 is held by the housing 4. As a result, the stopper 8 can make the container unit 3 more securely retained.

In a preferred embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the stopper 8 covers at least a part of the recess 9 when in the first position A.
In a preferred embodiment, the slide groove 4B1 of the present embodiment has an opening extending along the Y-axis direction, as shown in FIG. 1, for example. As a preferable aspect, the stopper 8 which concerns on this embodiment has knob 8A which is a protrusion which protrudes in-X direction, as FIG. 1 shows, for example. In the state where the stopper 8 is fitted in the slide groove 4B1, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, the knob 8A is exposed to the outside from the opening of the slide groove 4B1. Thus, the user can easily move the stopper 8 along the slide groove 4B1 by picking the knob 8A.

  As a preferable mode, the user can easily confirm visually that the stopper 8 is at the first position A by exposing the stopper 8 to the outside. That is, the user can easily confirm that the compressor unit 2 and the container unit 3 are prevented from coming off. Thereby, the user operates the compressor in a state where the retention between the compressor unit 2 and the container unit 3 is insufficient, and prevents the compressed air from leaking or the container unit 3 being inadvertently detached from the compressor unit 2 be able to.

  In a preferred embodiment, for example, when the connection between the compressed air outlet 10 and the compressed air inlet 15 is incomplete, that is, the connection between the compressed air outlet 10 and the compressed air inlet 15 is shallow, between the two. When the stopper 8 is moved in the Y direction when sufficient frictional force is not generated, the Y-direction end of the stopper 8 abuts on the guided portion 17 to position the stopper 8 at the first position A. I can not Thereby, the user can easily know that the connection between the compressed air outlet 10 and the compressed air inlet 15 is incomplete.

  As a desirable mode, for example, compressor unit 2 concerning this embodiment has guide part 12 provided in side 9B of crevice 9, and container unit 3 has guided part 17 provided in the side of cap 14. You may have. The guide portion 12 is, for example, a groove extending in the X-axis direction, and the guided portion 18 may be, for example, a flange shape which protrudes from the side surface of the cap 14 in the Y-axis direction and extends in the X-axis direction.

  When the guide portion 12 and the guided portion 18 are provided, the guide portion 12 and the guided portion 18 respectively perform the same function as the guide portion 11 and the guided portion 17. That is, at the time of connection work between the compressor unit 2 and the container unit 3, the user slides the guided portion 18 along the guide portion 12 to make the compressed air discharge port 10 and the compressed air inlet 15 open. The alignment can be easily performed, and the connection operation between the compressor unit 2 and the container unit 3 can be easily performed. By providing the guide portion 12 and the guided portion 18 in addition to the guide portion 12 and the guided portion 18, when the user moves the container unit 3 to connect to the compressor unit 2, the container unit 3 is prevented from becoming unstable. , The connection work can be performed more stably.

  In the puncture repair kit 1 of this embodiment, when the container unit 3 is removed from the compressor unit 2 after use, the stopper 8 is moved from the first position A to the -Y direction to move it to the position shown in FIG. The stopper 8 does not abut on the guided portion 17. Therefore, the user can easily remove the container unit 3 by moving the container unit 3 in the −X direction. As in the conventional puncture repair kit, when removing the container unit from the compressor unit, there is no need to elastically deform the arm with the fixing claws, so the puncture repair kit 1 of this embodiment facilitates the removal of the container unit 3 It is.

As a preferable aspect, the stopper 8 of the present embodiment is configured to be reciprocally movable between, for example, the first position A and the second position B.
In the first embodiment, although the second direction which is the moving direction of the stopper 8 is the Y-axis direction, the present invention is not limited to this. The second direction may be any direction in which the stopper 8 can move from the first position A to a position that does not prevent the movement of the container unit 3 in the first direction when connecting the container unit 3 to the compressor unit 2, It may be a direction different from the first direction.

The knob 8A is not limited to the protrusion, and may be, for example, an unevenness formed on the surface of the stopper 8 so that the user's finger is easily caught.
In the present embodiment, a hard resin bottle is used as the container 13, but the invention is not limited thereto. It may be made of a material such as glass or metal, or a bag-like one made of a soft material such as a resin tube may be used.
Moreover, as a preferable aspect, you may provide the O-ring which seals between the compressed air discharge port 10 and the compressed air inlet 15, for example.

In the first embodiment, the container unit 3 is connected to the compressor unit 2 from the side, but it is not limited thereto.
Second Embodiment
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a puncture repair kit 100 according to a second embodiment. In addition, about the component similar to the puncture repair kit 1 which concerns on Embodiment 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted. The same applies to the other embodiments below.

As shown in FIG. 4, the puncture repair kit 100 includes a compressor unit 20 and a container unit 30. Like the puncture repair kit 1 according to the first embodiment, the puncture repair kit 100 according to the present embodiment is also used in a state in which the container unit 30 is connected to the compressor unit 20, but in FIG. It shows.
The compressor unit 20 has, for example, a housing 21 and a compressor 5 (see FIG. 1) disposed therein.

The housing 21 is, for example, in the same manner as the housing 4 of the first embodiment, and has a flat rectangular box shape.
In a preferred embodiment, for example, in the compressor unit 20, a recess 22 in which a part of the container unit 30 is accommodated is formed on the upper surface 21A of the housing 21. The recess 22 of the present embodiment is formed by cutting away a portion of the top surface 21A and the side surface 21B of the housing 21 and has, for example, a bottom surface 23 and a side surface 26. For example, the compressed air discharge port 24 for discharging the compressed air from the compressor 5 is exposed and disposed in the recess 22.

  In the present embodiment, the compressed air discharge port 24 is provided on the bottom surface 23 of the recess 22. The compressed air discharge port 24 is, for example, a cylindrical shape having an opening and extending along the Z-axis direction, and the opening is disposed in the −Z direction. In the present embodiment, the Z-axis direction is the first direction.

The container unit 30 of the present embodiment includes a container 13 and a cap 31 attached to the mouth of the container 13.
The cap 31 has a compressed air inlet 32 connected to the compressed air outlet 24 for receiving compressed air, and an outlet 16.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the compressed air receiving port 32 of the present embodiment is cylindrical with an opening, and is configured to be insertable into the compressed air discharge port 24.
Therefore, by moving the container unit 30 in the Z direction with respect to the compressor unit 20, the compressed air receiving port 32 can be inserted and connected to the compressed air discharge port 24. As a result, the high pressure air generated by the compressor 5 can be supplied into the container 13 of the container unit 30. In the present embodiment, both the compressed air discharge port 24 and the compressed air inlet 32 have a cylindrical shape extending along the first direction (for example, the Z-axis direction in the present embodiment). 24 and the compressed air receiving port 32 are connected in a first direction (in the present embodiment, for example, in the Z-axis direction).

The compressor unit 20 according to the present embodiment further includes a stopper 25 for retaining the connected container unit 30.
The stopper 25 of the present embodiment is preferably provided on the outer surface of the housing 21 (for example, the upper surface 21A of the housing 21). The stopper 25 is movably provided, for example, along a second direction different from the first direction (the Z-axis direction in FIG. 1). In this embodiment, the Y-axis direction in FIG. 4 is the second direction.

The stopper 25 of the present embodiment preferably has a pair of pointed portions 25B, for example, the end in the Y direction being bifurcated.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the container unit 30 connected to the compressor unit 20 in a retaining state. In FIG. 5, the portion other than the stopper 25 of the compressor unit 20 and the container 13 are shown by broken lines for the sake of clarity.

  The stopper 25 is configured to be slidable from the second position D shown in FIG. 4 to the first position C shown in FIG. Here, the stopper 25 is configured to be movable to the first position C along the second direction in a connected state in which the compressed air receiving port 32 of the container unit 30 is connected to the compressed air discharge port 24 of the compressor unit 20 It is done. The stopper 25 at the first position C can prevent the container unit 30 from moving away from the compressor unit 20 along the first direction by abutting on the container unit 30. That is, when the container unit 30 tries to move away from the compressor unit 20 in the −Z direction, the container unit 30 abuts on the stopper 25 and the stopper 25 prevents the container unit 30 from moving apart. it can. This helps to suppress high pressure air leakage and the like.

  Therefore, in the puncture repair kit 100 according to the present embodiment, when the container unit 30 is connected to the compressor unit 20 in a retaining state, the operation of connecting the container unit 30 to the compressor unit 20 (ie, the compressed air discharge port 24 and The operation of connecting the compressed air receiving port 32 and the operation of retaining the container unit 30 in the compressor unit 20 (that is, the operation of moving the stopper 25 to the first position C) can be performed separately. . Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the user can easily perform the connection operation between the compressor unit 20 and the container unit 30 with a slight force.

  In addition, since the stopper 25 is movable to the first position C along the second direction different from the first direction, the stopper 25 is a compressor before being moved to the first position C. It can be located outside the connection path along the first direction of the container unit 30 to the unit 20. Thereby, the stopper 25 does not disturb the connection operation of the container unit 30 to the compressor unit 20, and the connection operation can be smoothly performed.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the preferred embodiment, the housing 21 may be provided with, for example, a slide groove 21A1 on the upper surface 21A. The stopper 25 may be fitted in the slide groove 21A1 and configured to be slidable in the direction along the upper surface 21A. As a result, the movement of the stopper 25 becomes more stable and the connection operation becomes easier.
As a preferred embodiment, for example, the stopper 25 and the slide groove 21A1 are configured to extend in the Y-axis direction on the upper surface 21A of the housing 21, for example.

As a preferred embodiment, for example, the upper surface 21A of the housing 21 is provided with a pair of slits 21A2 for accommodating the pair of pointed portions 25B of the stopper 25 at extended positions where the slide groove 21A1 is extended in the Y direction. It may be done.
In a preferred embodiment, for example, the container unit 30 has a flange 33. The flange 33 is provided, for example, on the side surface of the cap 31.

In a preferred embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the stopper 25 has a space 25C between a pair of pointed portions 25B.
In a preferred embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the stopper 25 is at the first position C, the cap 31 is located in the space 25C, and the stopper 25 is located on the −Z direction side of the flange 33. It is in contact with the flange 33. Thereby, the stopper 25 prevents movement of the container unit 30 in the -Z direction, that is, movement of the container unit 30 away from the compressor unit 20. In other words, the container unit 30 is prevented from coming off the compressor unit 20.

  The other member with which the stopper 25 abuts is not limited to the flange 33. For example, the stopper 25 and the outlet 16 may abut. As long as the separation movement of the container unit 30 from the compressor unit 20 is prevented by the stopper 25, any part of the container unit 30 may abut on the stopper 25.

  As a preferable aspect, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the stopper 25 of the present embodiment at the first position C has the pointed end 25B inserted in the slit 21A2. As a preferable aspect, for example, the stopper 25 of the present embodiment at the first position C has the end portion on the -Y direction side fitted in the slide groove 21A1. Thus, the stopper 25 is held by the housing 21. Thus, the stopper 25 can more reliably prevent the container unit 30 from coming off.

In a preferred embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the stopper 25 covers at least a part of the recess 22 when in the first position C.
As a preferred aspect, the slide groove 21A1 of the present embodiment has an opening extending along the Y-axis direction, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example. As a preferable aspect, the stopper 25 which concerns on this embodiment has knob 25A which is a processus | protrusion which protrudes in-Z direction, as FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show, for example. In the state where the stopper 25 is fitted into the slide groove 21A1, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example, the knob 25A is exposed to the outside from the opening of the slide groove 21A1. Thus, the user can easily move the stopper 25 along the slide groove 21A1 by picking the knob 25A.

  As a preferable mode, the user can easily confirm visually that the stopper 25 is at the first position C by exposing the stopper 25 to the outside. That is, the user can easily confirm that the compressor unit 20 and the container unit 30 are prevented from coming off. As a result, the user operates the compressor in a state where the retention between the compressor unit 20 and the container unit 30 is insufficient, and prevents the compressed air from leaking and the container unit 30 from being unexpectedly detached from the compressor unit 20 be able to.
