  • Publication number: 20200149669
    Abstract: A dispensing cap for a container such as a bottle or pouch. The nozzle of the cap is designed to connect a hose and the nozzle is connected to the cap base in a manner that allows the nozzle to operate like a valve. While the nozzle is in the closed position an air or liquid tight seal is made between the nozzle and cap base. While the nozzle is in the upright and open position the passage of air or liquid is allowed through the cap for the purpose of dispensing a liquid from within a container.

  • Publication number: 20160257082
    Abstract: This invention relates to a pouch injector made from a flexible and/or collapsible material. The pouch could contain a gusset that allows the pouch to free stand and allows for a greater pouch interior volume. The pouch and dispensing adapter(s) are used to dispense and/or inject a liquid, for example, into a tire through the valve stem.

  • Publication number: 20150231838
    Abstract: The invention relates to the in tandem use of specific ingredients for a tire sealant formulation that will repair and/or prevent future flats caused by any type of air loss in a pneumatic tire. It is desirable for a tire sealant formula to contain various sized and shaped particles/objects to form a clot that will plug any punctures and/or leaks in the tire. Another desirable feature of a tire sealant is to provide a seal that is permanent and will last the life of the tire where in prior art formulations it is common for non-adhesive based tire sealants to leak and not provide a permanent fix for the leak and/or puncture. It is also desirable for the liquid to be lightweight and low viscosity for a faster flowing liquid with low flowing resistance which is not common in prior art tire sealants. The aforementioned characteristics are key to creating a tire sealant formulation that requires less sealant to be applied inside the tire.

  • Publication number: 20060162501
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bottle injector for injecting fluids. The present invention uses a bottle reservoir connected to a long, flexible tube, which is in turn attached to a connector. A plunger mechanism expels the fluid located within the reservoir through the tube and connector. One use for the bottle injector can be to inject tire sealant into a tire. The connector can have two different threads, Schrader and Presta, to accommodate both types of valve stems currently found on tires. The Schrader type threads are larger than the Presta type threads and thus the Presta type threads are positioned further into the connector than the Schrader type threads. The larger, Schrader type threads are used on automobiles and less expensive bicycles. The Presta threads are more common in Europe and are used on most high performance bicycles.

  • Publication number: 20060021472
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for injecting tire sealant fluid into a tire. The present invention uses a syringe type reservoir connected to a long, flexible tube which is in turn connected to a valve stem connector. The valve stem connector has two different threads, Schrader and Presta, to accommodate both types of valve stems. The Schrader type threads are larger than the Presta type threads and thus the Presta type threads are positioned further into the valve stem connector of the present invention than the Schrader type threads. The larger Schrader type threads are used on automobiles and less expensive bicycles. The Presta threads are more common in Europe and are used on most high-performance bicycles. The main advantages of the present invention are that an exact amount of sealant can be dispensed, there is no wasted sealant because spillage is eliminated and the device uses no external power source to dispense the sealant.
