Patent number: 9956730Abstract: The pressure of compressed air supplied to an object to be filled with air is controlled at a specified pressure or less without using a relief valve. Given that a cylinder volume (stroke volume) during a piston moves from the lower dead point to the top dead point is V1, a cylinder volume (compression volume) when the piston reaches the top dead point is V2, the atmospheric pressure is P0, and the specified pressure is PP, the compression volume V2 in the compressor system satisfies the following expression (1). The diameter D of the air intake hole of an air intake valve provided on the piston is 3 to 15 mm. 0.8×{V1×P0/(PP?P0)}=<V2<1.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2013Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignees: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD., UNIK WORLD IND. CO., LTD.Inventors: Tsutomu Kono, Yoshihide Kojima, Vincent Chou

Patent number: 9138946Abstract: In the present invention, a difference between a pressure displayed by a manometer of a compressor device and an actual internal pressure of a tire can be reduced. A compressor device (2) and a bottle unit (3) are directly connected. A cap (6) attached to the bottle unit (3) comprises a unidirectional valve (14) for preventing a reverse flow of a flat tire sealing agent to the side of the compressor device. A cylinder (12) of the compressor device (2) is provided with a pump chamber (11), and a surge chamber (18) which receives the compressed air from the pump chamber through an exhaust valve (16), wherein a volume (Q2) of the surge chamber (18) is 1.0 to 3.0 times of the stroke volume of a piston (10) in the pump chamber (11).Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Yoshihide Kojima, Tsutomu Kono
