Abstract

A puncture repair device of the present technology is provided with: a compressor; a vessel to which the compressed air from the compressor is supplied and that contains a puncture repair liquid that is pumped into the cavity of a tire; and a heating device that heats the puncture repair liquid.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A puncture repair device, comprising:
a compressor;
a vessel to which compressed air from the compressor is supplied and that contains a puncture repair liquid that is pumped into a cavity of a tire;
a heating device that heats the puncture repair liquid;
a cap that is attached to an opening of the vessel through which the puncture repair liquid passes, wherein the heating device heats the puncture repair liquid via the cap and conducts heat by making direct contact with the cap.

2. The puncture repair device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating device heats the puncture repair liquid via the vessel.

3. The puncture repair device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a hose that communicatively connects an interior of the vessel with the cavity of the tire and through which the puncture repair liquid passes, wherein the heating device heats the puncture repair liquid via the hose.

4. The puncture repair device according to claim 2 , wherein the heating device conducts heat by making direct contact with the vessel.

5. The puncture repair device according to claim 3 , wherein the heating device conducts heat by making direct contact with the hose.

6. The puncture repair device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating device can be attached to and removed from a portion of the puncture repair device with which the heating device makes contact.

7. The puncture repair device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating device is a heat generating portion of a vehicle and conducts heat via a heat conductor.

8. The puncture repair device according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the puncture repair device to which heat is conducted by the heating device is formed of a heat conductive material.

9. The puncture repair device according to claim 4 , wherein the heating device can be attached to and removed from a portion of the puncture repair device with which the heating device makes contact.

10. The puncture repair device according to claim 5 , wherein the heating device can be attached to and removed from a portion of the puncture repair device with which the heating device makes contact.

11. The puncture repair device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating device is a heat generating portion of a vehicle and conducts heat via a heat conductor.

12. The puncture repair device according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the puncture repair device to which heat is conducted by the heating device is formed of a heat conductive material.

13. The puncture repair device according to claim 2 , wherein the heating device is a heat generating portion of a vehicle and conducts heat via a heat conductor.

14. The puncture repair device according to claim 2 , wherein a portion of the puncture repair device to which heat is conducted by the heating device is formed of a heat conductive material.

15. The puncture repair device according to claim 3 , wherein the heating device is a heat generating portion of a vehicle and conducts heat via a heat conductor.

16. The puncture repair device according to claim 3 , wherein a portion of the puncture repair device to which heat is conducted by the heating device is formed of a heat conductive material.

17. A puncture repair device, comprising:
a compressor;
a vessel to which compressed air from the compressor is supplied and that contains a puncture repair liquid that is pumped into a cavity of a tire;
a heating device that heats the puncture repair liquid; and
a hose that communicatively connects an interior of the vessel with the cavity of the tire and through which the puncture repair liquid passes, wherein the heating device heats the puncture repair liquid via the hose and conducts heat by making direct contact with the hose.

18. A puncture repair device, comprising:
a compressor;
a vessel to which compressed air from the compressor is supplied and that contains a puncture repair liquid that is pumped into a cavity of a tire;
a heating device that heats the puncture repair liquid, wherein the heating device is a heat generating portion of a vehicle and conducts heat via a heat conductor.
