Description

  The present invention relates to a puncture repair liquid container and a puncture repair method, and more particularly, to a puncture repair liquid container and a puncture repair method that enable the container to be stably fixed.

  In recent years, when a tire mounted on a vehicle is punctured, a puncture repair liquid is injected into the tire via a tire valve, so that the puncture is repaired immediately and at the same time the air is filled in the tire. ing.

  As an apparatus for performing puncture repair in this way, for example, Patent Document 1 stores puncture repair liquid in a pressure-resistant container and uses the compressed air supplied from a tire pressure filling compressor to supply the puncture repair liquid. It is proposed to be injected into the tire.

  When performing puncture repair work using the puncture repair device described above, the container containing the puncture repair fluid is stable so that it does not tip over or tilt while the puncture repair fluid is being poured into the tire. Must be fixed in posture. Therefore, for example, a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners are provided in a container for storing puncture repair liquid and a compressor, and these containers and the compressor are fixed via the hook-and-loop fastener at the time of puncture repair work (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Alternatively, it has been proposed to provide a suction cup in a container for storing puncture repair liquid and fix the container to a smooth surface provided on the outer surface of the compressor using the suction cup at the time of puncture repair (for example, see Patent Document 3). .

  However, when the container is fixed by such a method, processing for fixing the container is performed on the object (particularly the compressor) to be fixed (provided on the surface fastener or the outer surface that is paired with the container side). There is a problem that it is necessary to provide a smooth surface.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of a puncture repair liquid injection apparatus using a puncture repair liquid container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a pneumatic tire, 2 is a wheel, and 3 is a tire valve attached to the wheel.

  The puncture repair liquid injection device using the puncture repair liquid container 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is screwed into a liquid storage section 11 for storing puncture repair liquid and an opening of the liquid storage section 11. And a puncture repair liquid container 10 provided with a discharge pipe 13 for discharging puncture repair liquid and an intake pipe 14 for taking in compressed air, and a wheel 2 assembled to the tire 1. The injection hose 20 connected between the tire valve 3 and the discharge pipe 13 of the puncture repair liquid container 10 and a compressor 30 for supplying compressed air are provided. The compressor 30 includes an apparatus main body 31, a pressurizing hose 32 for supplying compressed air, and a cord 33 and a plug 34 connected to an external power source.

  The puncture repair liquid injection device using the puncture repair liquid storage container 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of FIG. 1 as long as the puncture repair liquid storage container 10 described later is used.

  In FIG. 2, one fixed band 40 is attached to the outer surface of the puncture repair liquid container 10 of the present invention. The fixed band 40 is configured to be annular and elastically expandable. By providing the fixed band 40 in this manner, as shown in FIG. 1, the fixed band 40 is hung around another object (in the case of FIG. 1, the compressor 30), and the puncture repair liquid container 10 is moved to the other object ( The puncture repair work can be performed in a state where the puncture repair liquid container 10 is stably fixed.

  In the puncture repair liquid container 10 shown in FIG. 2, a cap 12 ′ is screwed into the opening of the liquid container 11. The cap 12 ′ is for protecting the opening of the liquid container 11 when storing the puncture repair liquid container 10, and is detachably screwed into the opening of the liquid container 11. . The cap 12 'is replaced with the cap 12 including the discharge pipe 13 and the intake pipe 14 as described above, for example, at the time of puncture repair work.

  The fixing band 40 may be made of any material such as rubber or a stretched yarn as long as it is elastically stretchable. In particular, the fixing band 40 is preferably made of rubber. The rubber constituting the fixing band 40 includes rubber such as a so-called round rubber obtained by coating a rubber thread with a fiber thread, a so-called flat rubber formed by knitting a rubber thread and a fiber thread, in addition to a so-called rubber band (rubber rubber). Various materials can be exemplified.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a binding member 50 capable of binding any two locations of the fixed band 40 can be attached to the fixed band 40. As the binding member 50, for example, a so-called cord stopper 60 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 can be used. The cord stopper 60 is generally provided as a stopper for a cord (string) inserted into the peripheral side of a hood or the like of a garment, for example, and a compression spring 62 is provided in a cylindrical main body 61 opened upward. The push member 63 movably fitted in the main body 61 is always biased in one direction by the compression spring, and the main body 61 and the push member 63 are orthogonal to the moving direction of the push member 63. Through holes 64 and 64 through which the cord fixing band 40 can be inserted are formed. These through holes 64 are arranged so as to be in a straight line in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the push member 63 when the push member 63 is pressed in a direction against the elastic force of the compression spring 62. . For this reason, the fixing band 40 inserted through both the through holes 64, 64 is pushed upward by the elastic force of the compression spring 62 in a normal state. 64, and is sandwiched between the main body 61 and the push member 63, so that the movement of the fixing band 40 is prevented. On the contrary, when the push member 63 is pressed in a direction against the elastic force of the compression spring 62, the through holes 64, 64 are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the push member 63 as described above. Therefore, the main body 61 can be moved along the fixed band 40.

  The binding member 50 is not limited to the cord stopper 60 as described above as long as it can bind any two locations of the fixed band 40.

  By attaching the binding member 50 in this way, it becomes possible to adjust the inner peripheral length of the annular portion formed by the fixing band 40, and the length corresponding to the dimension of the other object that fixes the inner peripheral length of the fixing band. By adjusting the height, the container can be fixed more stably.

  In the above description, the example in which the fixing band 40 is a rubber band formed in an annular shape in advance is shown. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the fixing band 40 is formed in an annular shape by the binding member 50 described above. The string 41 may be used.

  In any case, it is preferable that the fixed band 40 has a width w of 1 mm to 30 mm and an inner peripheral length L of 160 mm to 360 mm. The inner peripheral length L is the inner peripheral length L of the fixed band 40 in the annular portion formed by the fixed band 40 as shown in FIGS.

  In particular, when the fixed band 40 is a rubber band formed in an annular shape in advance, in accordance with JIS Z1701, the annular portion of the fixed band 40 is in contact with the entire inner surface of the annular portion to form a straight line. It is preferable that the length (folded diameter) measured as the straight inner surface portion when doing so is 80 mm to 180 mm.

  Thus, by setting the width w of the fixed band 40 in a specific range, the tension of the fixed band 40 can be increased and the fixability to other objects can be improved. Further, by setting the inner peripheral length L of the fixed band 40 in the above-described range, the inner peripheral length L of the fixed band 40 becomes a length corresponding to the outer peripheral length of the compressor 30, and in particular, the puncture repair liquid container 10. When the compressor 30 is selected as a target for fixing the container, the container can be fixed more stably. Of course, if the inner peripheral length of the fixing band 40 is set to a length corresponding to the outer peripheral length of the other object selected as the target for fixing the puncture repair liquid container 10, the container is more stable with respect to the other object. Although the compressor 30 is used together with the puncture repair liquid container 10 during the puncture repair work, it is more preferable to set the dimension of the fixing band 40 to a dimension for fixing to the compressor 30. .

  At this time, if the width w of the fixed band 40 is smaller than 1 mm, the strength of the fixed band 40 is insufficient. On the contrary, if the width w of the fixed band 40 is larger than 30 mm, the tension of the fixed band 40 becomes too large, and it is difficult to hang the fixed band 40 around other objects. If the inner peripheral length L of the fixed band 40 is smaller than 160 mm, the fixed band 40 is too short with respect to the outer peripheral length of the compressor 30 and it is difficult to hang the fixed band 40 around the compressor 30. Conversely, if the inner peripheral length L of the fixed band 40 is larger than 360 mm, the fixed band 40 is too long with respect to the outer peripheral length of the compressor 30, and even if the fixed band 40 is hung around the compressor 30, The puncture repair liquid container 10 cannot be stably fixed without being tightened.

In the present invention, the longitudinal direction Iteiru longitudinal liquid containing portion 11 of the fixing band 40 at the attachment portion 42 relative to the liquid containing portion 11 of the fixing band 40. By defining the direction of the fixed band 40 in this way, when the fixed band 40 is wound around another object (particularly the compressor 30), the fixed band 40 covers the bottom of the other object (compressor 30) as shown in FIG. Since it passes, it becomes difficult to remove the fixing band 40, and it is possible to effectively prevent the puncture repair liquid container 10 from overturning. Conversely, when the longitudinal direction of the fixed band 40 in the attachment portion 42 of the fixed band 40 with respect to the liquid storage portion 11 faces the lateral direction of the liquid storage portion 11, the fixed band 40 shifts to the installation upper surface side of the other object (compressor 30). This is not preferable because the puncture repair liquid storage container 10 may fall over due to detachment or the fixing band 40 being twisted.

  In this way, when the longitudinal direction of the fixed band 40 in the attachment portion 42 with respect to the liquid storage portion 11 of the fixed band 40 faces the vertical direction of the liquid storage portion 11, the length of the fixed band 40 in the attachment portion 42 in the longitudinal direction. It is preferable that d is 5 mm to 80 mm. By defining the length d in the mounting portion 42 in this manner, it is possible to more effectively prevent the fixing band 40 from being twisted and the puncture repair liquid container 10 from falling down.

  At this time, if the length d is smaller than 5 mm, when the puncture repair liquid container 10 is attached to another object (compressor 30), the puncture repair liquid container 10 and the other object (compressor 30) Therefore, the fixing band 40 is twisted, and the puncture repair liquid container 10 is likely to fall over. On the contrary, if the length d is larger than 80 mm, when the fixing band 40 is hung around the other object (compressor 30), the fixing band 40 does not contact the installation upper surface of the other object (compressor 30), and an extra space is generated. For this reason, it becomes difficult to stably fix the puncture repair liquid container 10.

  In particular, when the compressor 30 is used as another object for fixing the puncture repair liquid storage container 10, as shown in FIG. 8, the longitudinal center position A of the attachment portion 42 with respect to the liquid storage portion 11 of the fixing band 40 is set to the height of the compressor 30. The position is preferably lower than the height H. By attaching the fixing band 40 according to the height H of the compressor 30 that fixes the puncture repair liquid container 10 in this way, it is more effective that the fixing band 40 is twisted and the puncture repair liquid container 10 falls. Can be prevented.

  In the present invention, the fixing band 40 may be attached to the outer surface of the liquid storage unit 11 using an adhesive, but is preferably fixed on the liquid storage unit 11 with a label 70 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, it is preferable to fix the fixing band 40 by at least a shrink film provided on the liquid storage unit 11. By attaching the fixing band 40 in this way, the fixing band can be attached to the container without adding a new member.

  In the above example, the case where one fixing band 40 is provided for one puncture repair liquid container 10 is illustrated, but as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, two or more (two in the illustrated example). The fixing band 40 may be provided. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, two fixed bands 40 facing the vertical direction of the container 10 are disposed adjacent to the outer surface of the liquid storage unit 11. The puncture repair liquid container 10 is fixed by hanging the two fixing bands around the compressor 30. On the other hand, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the two fixed bands are attached to the opposing positions on the outer surface of the liquid storage unit 11. Then, the two fixed bands are hung around the compressor 30 and the puncture repair liquid container 10 is fixed on the upper surface of the compressor 30 so that the puncture repair liquid container 10 is fixed. . By providing two or more fixing bands 40 in this way, the stability of the container can be improved, and even if one of the two fixing bands 40 breaks, the other fixing band 40 fixes the container. Is possible.

  Hereinafter, a method for injecting the puncture repair liquid into the tire 1 using the puncture repair liquid container 10 described above will be described.

  When an operator performs an operation of injecting puncture repair liquid, first, the fixing band 40 attached to the puncture repair liquid storage container 10 is hung around another object, and the puncture repair liquid repair container 10 is fixed to the other object. Next, the injection hose 20 is connected between the tire valve 3 and the discharge pipe 13 of the container 10, and the pressurization hose 32 of the compressor 30 is connected to the intake pipe 14 of the container 10. Then, the compressor 30 is operated, the inside of the container 10 is pressurized with compressed air supplied from the compressor 30, and the puncture repair liquid is injected into the tire 1.

  As described above, the puncture repair liquid container 10 can be fixed to another object by the fixing band 40 and the locking means 50. Therefore, the puncture repair liquid is injected into the tire 1 during the puncture repair work. The puncture repair liquid storage container 10 can be fixed in a stable posture so as not to fall over or tilt.

  In particular, processing for fixing the container to other objects (particularly compressors) that fix the container as in the past (for example, attaching a surface fastener or a suction cup to the container side) Providing a smooth surface that can be made) is not necessary, and other objects for fixing the puncture repair liquid container 10 are not limited. For example, tires, rims, car bodies, compressors, etc., which are around the tires during puncture repair work and can hang around the fixing band 40, can be selected as any other object for fixing the container. I do not care.

  Among the other objects described above, it is particularly preferable to use the compressor 30. Since the size of the compressor 30 mounted on the vehicle for use in puncture repair work is limited, the length (inner circumference) of the fixed band 40 is not increased in order to accommodate other objects of various dimensions. The length (inner peripheral length) of the fixed band 40 can be kept within a specific range, and the storability of the puncture repair liquid container 10 can be improved.
