Method and apparatus for inflating objects

摘要

A new sealant container and a tire sealing and inflating device are described. Methods of utilizing the device also are described. The new device includes a sealant container with a sealant composition; but it preferably does not include an internal propellant and preferably is not aerosol-based. In use, the sealant container is connected to a flat tire and to a pressure source which provides an external propellant. As the external propellant passes through the sealant container, the sealant composition inside the sealant container is carried to a flat tire. The tire puncture is sealed by the sealant composition, and the flat tire is inflated by the propellant.
