Method and device for recovering puncture repair liquid

摘要

A device for recovering puncture repair liquid includes a tube to be inserted from a tire valve mounted to a wheel up to an inner surface of a tire, a container having a pair of connecting ports for receiving and containing puncture repair liquid recovered from inside the tire, and a connecting hose for connecting between the tire valve and one of the connecting ports. The other connecting port is removably attachable to a pressurized air source. A valve core is detached from a tire valve of a wheel with a tire mounted thereon into which puncture repair liquid has been injected. The tube is inserted into the tire which is filled with air from the pressurized air source that is then detached from the container. Thus, recovery of the puncture repair liquid is efficiently performed using pressure escaping from the tire without cutting out the tire valve.

主权项

1. A method for recovering puncture repair liquid, comprising:
detaching a valve core from a tire valve of a wheel with a tire mounted thereon into which puncture repair liquid has been injected; inserting a tube into the tire via the tire valve, the tube having at least a length that permits the tube to reach an inner surface of the tire when inserted into the tire from the tire valve mounted to the wheel; connecting a connecting hose and a container between the tire valve and a pressurized air source, the container including a pair of connecting ports and being configured to receive and contain puncture repair liquid recovered from inside of the tire, and the connecting hose being configured for connection between the tire valve and one of the connecting ports of the container, with the other connecting port of the container being configured to removably attach to the pressurized air source; filling the tire with air from the pressurized air source, and then detaching the pressurized air source from the other connecting port of the container; and recovering into the container the puncture repair liquid that exits the tire due to pressure of the air escaping from the tire.
