Repair devices (puncture repair kits) are known. By using such a puncture repair kit, there is no need to mount spare tires on the vehicle, so that resource saving and vehicle weight reduction can be achieved. There is also an advantage that the space for mounting the spare tire can be used for other purposes.

  In this puncture repair method, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, a compressor 10 is connected to a container 31 containing puncture repair liquid, and compressed air is supplied from the compressor 10 to the container 31 to pressurize the inside of the container 31. The puncture repair liquid and compressed air are injected into the tire from the tire valve 22 of the wheel 21 assembled to the tire 20. Here, the container 31 needs to be fixed in a stable posture in a predetermined direction so as not to fall or tilt while the puncture repair liquid is being poured into the tire. For this reason, Patent Document 1 proposes to fix the container 31 to the side surface of the compressor so that the container 31 faces a predetermined direction by interposing a surface fastener 32 between the outer surface of the container 31 and the outer surface of the compressor 10. ing. According to this puncture repair method, the container 31 can be fixed in a stable posture while the puncture repair liquid is being poured into the tire.

  However, after performing puncture repair using such a puncture repair liquid container, it is necessary to prepare and mount a container containing puncture repair liquid. Must have a zipper. For this reason, there has been a demand for a puncture repair liquid container having a more versatile and simple configuration and a puncture repair method using the same.
