Abstract

An air compressor and tire repairing combination includes an air compressing device for generating a pressurized air, a tire repairing device having a container for receiving a repair liquid, and a tubular member having a bore for receiving the pressurized air and having an inlet port coupled to the air compressing device for receiving the pressurized air, and having an outlet port for supplying the pressurized air out through a nozzle, and having an exit for selectively supplying the pressurized air to the container and to selectively force the repair liquid to flow out of the container and into a faulty tire and to repair and to inflate the faulty tire simultaneously.

Claims

1. An air compressor and tire repairing combination comprising:

an air compressing device for generating and supplying a pressurized air, and including an outlet tube for supplying out the pressurized gas,

a tire repairing device including a container having a chamber formed therein for receiving a repair liquid and for selectively supplying the repair liquid to a faulty tire, and

a controlling device including a tubular member having a bore formed therein, and having an inlet port coupled to said outlet tube of said air compressing device for receiving the pressurized air from said outlet tube of said air compressing device, and having an outlet port coupled to a nozzle for selectively supplying the pressurized air out through said nozzle, and having an exit coupled to said container for selectively supplying the pressurized air to said container and to selectively force the repair liquid to flow out of said container.

2. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein said tubular member includes a valve seat provided in said tubular member and disposed between said inlet port and said outlet port of said tubular member for selectively controlling and supplying the pressurized air out through said outlet port and said nozzle.

3. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 2, wherein said controlling device includes a valve stem slidably received and engaged in said bore of said tubular member and having a valve member for selectively engaging with said valve seat of said tubular member and for selectively blocking said outlet port of said tubular member.

4. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein said tubular member includes a valve seat provided in said tubular member and disposed between said inlet port and said exit of said tubular member for selectively controlling and supplying the pressurized air out through said exit and said container of said tire repairing device.

5. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 4, wherein said controlling device includes a valve stem slidably received and engaged in said bore of said tubular member and having a valve member for selectively engaging with said valve seat of said tubular member and for selectively blocking said exit of said tubular member.

6. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 5, wherein said controlling device includes a spring member engaged with said valve stem for biasing and forcing said valve member of said valve stem to engage with said valve seat of said tubular member and to block said exit of said tubular member.

7. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 6, wherein said tubular member includes a stop, and said valve stem includes a protrusion extended from said valve stem and engageable with said stop when said valve stem is depressed onto said spring member and when said valve stem is rotated relative to said tubular member, in order to maintain said valve member of said valve stem in engagement with said valve seat of said tubular member.

8. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 7, wherein said valve stem includes a latch extended from said valve stem and engageable with said stop for limiting said valve stem to slide relative to said tubular member.

9. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 7, wherein said tubular member includes a compartment formed in an upper casing, and a knob is provided on top of said valve stem and slidably engaged in said compartment of said casing of said tubular member for depressing and moving said valve stem onto said spring member.

10. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 9, wherein said casing includes a space formed therein for selectively receiving said protrusion of said valve stem, and said stop is extended into said casing and located between said space and said compartment of said casing.

11. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein said air compressing device includes a cylinder housing, a piston slidably engaged in said cylinder housing, a piston rod extended from said piston, and a motor attached to said cylinder housing and coupled to said piston rod with a coupling device for moving said piston relative to said cylinder housing in a reciprocating action, in order to generate the pressurized air.

12. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein said tubular member includes a mouth communicating with said bore of said tubular member and coupled to a pressure gauge for detecting an air pressure in said bore of said tubular member.

13. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein said container includes a mouth, a cap is attached to said mouth of said container and includes a block engaged into said mouth of said container, and includes an inlet port coupled to said exit of said tubular member for selectively receiving the pressurized air from said tubular member, and includes an inlet passage formed therein and communicating with said inlet port for allowing the pressurized air to selectively flow into said chamber of said container.

14. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 13, wherein said cap includes an outlet passage formed therein and offset from said inlet passage of said cap and communicating with an outlet port which is coupled to a nozzle for allowing the pressurized air to force the repair liquid in said container to flow out through said outlet passage and said outlet port and to flow to said nozzle.

15. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 14, wherein a lid is engaged onto said block of said cap for selectively closing said outlet passage and said inlet passage of said cap and for preventing the repair liquid from flowing out through said outlet passage and said outlet port of said cap.

16. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 15, wherein said lid includes a catch extended therefrom for engaging with said outlet passage of said cap and for detachably attaching said lid to said block of said cap, and said lid is disengageable from said block and movable into said chamber of said container when the pressurized air is supplied into said inlet port and said inlet passage of said cap.

17. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 14, wherein said cap includes a compartment formed therein and communicating with said outlet passage of said cap for allowing the repair liquid to be completely flown out of said container.

18. The air compressor and tire repairing combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein a receptacle is further provided and includes a chamber formed therein for receiving said air compressing device and said tire repairing device and said controlling device.
