  • Patent number: 9873232
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for the introduction of pressurized air and/or sealant into a tire comprising a source of pressurized air having an outlet (26), a container (14) containing the sealant which can be secured relative to a housing (12) of the source of pressurized air and which can be connected to the outlet of the source of pressurized air via an inlet (22), a hose (16) which is connected at a first end to an outlet of the container that is facing in an outlet direction and which has a second end that can be connected to the tire, wherein the housing of the source of pressurized air comprises a first vertical wall (30), with respect to which at least the outlet of the container is arranged laterally in a secured position and further comprises a second vertical wall (34) having means for guiding the hose and which is adjacent at least substantially at a right angle to the first housing wall, wherein, in its position in which the container is secured at the housing, the outlet direction of the container extends
