Abstract

Provided is a flat tire repair liquid container including: a container main body including a container body in which a flat tire repair liquid is stored, and an opening; and a cap including a flow path configured to guide the flat tire repair liquid out of the container. The flow path includes a cylinder portion of which an end of a first side is open toward internal space of the container body and in which a closing plug is slidably inserted, and a dispensing portion branching from the cylinder portion and open to outside the container. The closing plug is configured to close the flow path by being positioned at the end of the first side of the cylinder portion, and to open the flow path by being subjected to pressure inside the container during flat tire repair work and moving to a second side.

Claims (28)

1. A flat tire repair liquid container, comprising:

a container main body including a container body in which a flat tire repair liquid is stored, and an opening; and

a cap including a flow path configured to guide the flat tire repair liquid in the container out of the container, the cap being mounted on the opening during flat tire repair work;

the flow path including a cylinder portion with a cylindrical shape of which an end of a first side is open toward internal space of the container body and in which a closing plug is slidably inserted, and a dispensing portion branching from the cylinder portion and open to outside the container;

the closing plug being configured to close the flow path by being positioned at the end of the first side of the cylinder portion, and to open the flow path by being subjected to container internal pressure during flat tire repair work and moving farther to a second side than a branching location of the cylinder portion with the dispensing portion; and

a small diameter portion having a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the cylinder portion is provided at the end of the first side of the cylinder portion.

2. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein:

the small diameter portion is provided by molding the end on the first side of the cylinder portion in a flange shape facing a center of the cylinder portion such that the inner diameter is made smaller than other portions of the cylinder portion.

3. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 2 , wherein:

the closing plug includes a protrusion capable of engaging with the small diameter portion.

4. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 3 , wherein:

an inner diameter R 2 is in a range of 35% to 70% of an inner diameter R 1 , where R 1 is the inner diameter of the cylinder portion, and R 2 is an inner diameter of the small diameter portion.

5. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 2 , wherein:

an inner diameter R 2 is in a range of 35% to 70% of an inner diameter R 1 , where R 1 is the inner diameter of the cylinder portion, and R 2 is an inner diameter of the small diameter portion.

6. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein:

the small diameter portion is provided by affixing an adapter to the end on the first side of the cylinder portion, the adapter including a small hole with a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the cylinder portion.

7. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 6 , wherein:

the closing plug includes a protrusion capable of engaging with the small diameter portion.

8. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 7 , wherein:

an inner diameter R 2 is in a range of 35% to 70% of an inner diameter R 1 , where R 1 is the inner diameter of the cylinder portion, and R 2 is an inner diameter of the small diameter portion.

9. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 6 , wherein:

an inner diameter R 2 is in a range of 35% to 70% of an inner diameter R 1 , where R 1 is the inner diameter of the cylinder portion, and R 2 is an inner diameter of the small diameter portion.

10. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein:

the closing plug includes a protrusion capable of engaging with the small diameter portion.

11. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 10 , wherein:

an inner diameter R 2 is in a range of 35% to 70% of an inner diameter R 1 , where R 1 is the inner diameter of the cylinder portion, and R 2 is an inner diameter of the small diameter portion.

12. The flat tire repair liquid container according to claim 1 , wherein:

an inner diameter R 2 is in a range of 35% to 70% of an inner diameter R 1 , where R 1 is the inner diameter of the cylinder portion, and R 2 is an inner diameter of the small diameter portion.
