  • Patent number: 6964284
    Abstract: A system for the sealing of inflatable articles, in particular tires, has at least one container containing a sealant. This container has a gas inlet and an outlet which can be coupled to an article to be sealed. A source of gas pressure, in particular an electrically drivable compressor, is connectable to the gas inlet of the container and at least partly accommodated in a housing. The housing of the gas pressure source has at least one coupling section at which the container can be coupled mechanically to the housing, in particular coupled in form-matched and/or force transmitting manner, to establish a state of use in such a way that the housing of the gas pressure source standing on the ground serves as a pedestal for the container, which is oriented in accordance with its intended purpose.
