Abstract

A method of using a device of inflating and repairing a broken tire contains a step of: placing the device on the ground. The device contains: an accommodation box, a sealant can, a cap, and at least one delivery hose. The accommodation box accommodates an air compressor for compressing air so as to produce compressed air. The accommodation box includes a first coupling orifice and a second coupling orifice. The sealant can includes a body in which sealant is received, and the cap is connected on an open end of the body. The cap includes an air inflow tube and a sealant supply tube), and the cap is engaged on the first coupling orifice or the second coupling orifice. The at least one delivery hose includes a first connector and a second connector connected with two components, thus inflating and repairing the broken tire diversely.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of using a device of inflating and repairing a broken tire comprising a step of:
placing the device on the ground, and the device comprises:
an accommodation box in which an air compressor is received, the air compressor being configured to compress air so as to produce compressed air, and the compressed air being outputted via an output hose, the accommodation box including a first coupling orifice adjacent to the output hose, and the accommodation box including a second coupling orifice away from the output hose;
a sealant can including a body in which sealant is received, and a cap being connected on an open end of the body of the sealant can, the cap including an air inflow tube and a sealant supply tube, and the cap being engaged on the first coupling orifice or the second coupling orifice;
at least one delivery hose including a first connector and a second connector connected with two components, thus inflating and repairing the broken tire diversely; and
a step of 1) coupling the accommodation box, characterized in that the at least one delivery hose includes a first delivery hose and a second delivery hose, wherein a first end of the first delivery hose is connected with the output hose of the first coupling orifice of the accommodation box so that the compressed air flows into the first delivery hose from the air compressor, and a second end of the first delivery hose is connected with an air nozzle of a broken tire, wherein the body of the sealant can is engaged with the second coupling orifice by using the cap so that the accommodation box on which the sealant can is fixed does not move when inflating the compressed air into the broken tire.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a step of 2) receiving the cap of the sealant can in the second coupling orifice of the accommodation box so as to erect the sealant can on the accommodation box, characterized in that the air inflow tube of the cap is connected with the second end of the first delivery hose, the first end of the first delivery hose is connected with the output hose of the first coupling orifice, the sealant supply tube of the cap is locked with a first fixing segment of a second delivery hose, and a second fixing segment of the second delivery hose is locked on the air nozzle of the broken tire, such that the device is configured to inflate the compressed air and to supply the sealant simultaneously, the first delivery hose does not twine with the second delivery hose, and the sealant can is received in the second coupling orifice to locate away from the first coupling orifice for connecting with the output hose which is connected with the first delivery hose, thus operating the device smoothly.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further a step of 3) connecting the first end of the first delivery hose with the output hose of the first coupling orifice, locking the second end of the first delivery hose with the air inflow tube of the cap of the sealant can, engaging the cap with the first coupling orifice, and erecting the sealant can on the accommodation box, such that the compressed air flows from the air compressor to force the sealant of the sealant can via the output hose and the first delivery hose so that the sealant is outputted out of the sealant supply tube of the cap, wherein the sealant supply tube of the cap is locked with the first fixing segment of the second delivery hose, and the second fixing segment of the second delivery hose is locked on the air nozzle of the broken tire, such that the compressed air force the sealant into the broken tire, and the broken tire is inflated by the compressed air and is repaired by the sealant, wherein the first delivery hose is defined between the output hose of the accommodation box and the air inflow tube of the cap of the cap, such that the sealant does not contact and block the output hose of the air compressor and does not flow into the air compressor.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a step of 4) connecting the sealant can with the first coupling orifice by using the cap, characterized in that an air inflow tube of the cap is connected with the output hose of the first coupling orifice of the accommodation box, and the cap includes a sealant supply tube locked with the nozzle of the broken tire via the first delivery hose, thus supplying the sealant into the broken tire.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the second coupling orifice of the body further includes a plane formed on a bottom thereof, an internal fence extending upward from a peripheral side of the plane, and a C-shaped rib extending inward from a top of the internal fence, wherein a receiving space is defined between the C-shaped rib and the plane to accommodate the cap of the sealant can.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the first coupling orifice of the accommodation box is formed in an inverted U shape, the first coupling orifice has a first notch formed on a bottom of an peripheral wall thereof, a second notch formed on a top of the peripheral wall of the first coupling orifice opposite to the first notch, a partition formed adjacent to a top of the second notch, and a protrusion formed on the partition;
and the sealant can further includes a body, the cap is screwed on the body of the sealant can, and the cap includes an air inflow tube, a sealant supply tube, a first peripheral rib horizontally extending from an outer wall of the cap, a second peripheral rib extending from the outer wall of the cap and spaced from the first peripheral rib, and a groove defined between the first peripheral rib and the second peripheral rib, wherein the first connector of the first delivery hose is connected with the output hose of the first coupling orifice of the accommodation box, and the second connector is locked with the air inflow tube of the cap of the sealant can, wherein the cap is engaged in the first coupling orifice, the groove is configured to accommodate the partition of the first coupling orifice, the second peripheral rib is received in the second notch of the first coupling orifice, thereafter an external fringe of the first peripheral rib of the cap abuts against the protrusion of the partition, such that the sealant can is fixed in the first coupling orifice and is erected on the accommodation box securely.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the output hose of the first coupling orifice of the accommodation box is connected with another sealant can, wherein the sealant can includes a body screwed with a cap, and the cap includes an air inflow tube, a sealant supply tube, a first peripheral rib horizontally extending from a top of the cap, a second peripheral rib extending from the top of the cap and spaced from the first peripheral rib, a groove defined between the first peripheral rib and the second peripheral rib, two flexible retainers symmetrically formed on a bottom of the cap, and two engagement tabs formed on two outer walls of the two flexible retainers; wherein an open end of the body of the sealant can faces the cap downward, and a bottom fence of the body of the sealant can faces upward, such that the sealant can is received in the first coupling orifice of the accommodation box, the air inflow tube of the cap is connected with the output hose of the first coupling orifice of the accommodation box, the groove is engaged with the partition of the first coupling orifice, the second peripheral rib is received in the second notch of the first coupling orifice, and the two engagement tabs of the two flexible retainers of the cap are engaged in the first notch of the first coupling orifice, such that the sealant can is received in the first couplin
