Pannenhilfeset mit lösbarem Anschlusselement, System umfassend ein solches Pannenhilfeset und eine Dichtmittelflasche, Verfahren zum Austauschen eines Anschlusselements sowie Fixierelement zum Fixieren eines Anschlusselements Breakdown assistance kit with detachable connection element, system comprising such a breakdown assistance kit and a sealant bottle, method for replacing a connection element and fixing element for fixing a connection element
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Pannenhilfeset mit einem lösbarem Anschlusselement sowie ein System umfassend ein solches Pannenhilfeset und eine Dichtmittelflasche. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Austauschen eines Anschlusselements sowie ein Fixierelement zum Fixieren eines Anschlusselements mit einem Pannenhilfeset. The invention relates to a breakdown assistance kit with a detachable connection element and a system comprising such a breakdown assistance kit and a sealant bottle. The invention further relates to a method for exchanging a connection element and a fixing element for fixing a connection element with a breakdown assistance kit.
Pannenhilfesets oder Pannenhilfekits sind im Stand der Technik bekannt und werden üblicherweise eingesetzt, um das Pannenhilfeset über einen Schlauch mit dem Fahrzeugreifen beziehungsweise dem Ventil des Reifens zu verbinden. Ein Pannenhilfeset umfasst üblicherweise einen Kompressor zur Erzeugung von Druckluft, durch die ein Dichtmittel zum Abdichten eines Fahrzeugreifens im Falle einer Panne in den Fahrzeugreifen gepumpt wird und/oder den Fahrzeugreifen nach dem Abdichten mit Luft zu befüllen. Pannenhilfesets können beispielsweise 2-teilig ausgebildet sein. Bei 2-teiligen Pannenhilfesets wird die Dichtmittelflasche mit dem Kompressor über ein Anschlusselement verbunden. Breakdown assistance sets or breakdown kits are known in the art and are usually used to connect the breakdown assistance set to the vehicle tire or the tire valve via a hose. A breakdown assistance set usually includes a compressor for generating compressed air, through which a sealant is pumped into the vehicle tire to seal a vehicle tire in the event of a breakdown and/or to fill the vehicle tire with air after sealing. Breakdown assistance sets can, for example, be designed in 2 parts. In 2-part breakdown assistance sets, the sealant bottle is connected to the compressor via a connection element.
Nachteilig solcher Pannenhilfesets ist, dass ein Austausch des Anschlusselements für die Dichtmittelflasche am Kompressor nicht vorgesehen ist. Problematisch ist dies, da das Anschlusselement nach Benutzung durch das Dichtmittel verunreinigt und somit eine mehrfache Benutzung erschwert ist. The disadvantage of such breakdown kits is that there is no provision for replacing the connection element for the sealant bottle on the compressor. This is problematic because the connection element becomes contaminated by the sealant after use, making it difficult to use it multiple times.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung ein verbessertes Pannenhilfeset, ein System umfassend ein Pannenhilfeset und eine Dichtmittelflasche sowie ein Verfahren zum Austauschen eines Anschlusselements in einem Pannenhilfeset bereitzustellen, durch welches eine mehrfache Benutzung des Pannenhilfesets sichergestellt werden kann. This is where the present invention comes in. The object of the invention is an improved breakdown assistance kit, a system comprising a breakdown assistance kit and a To provide a sealant bottle and a method for replacing a connecting element in a breakdown assistance kit, by which multiple use of the breakdown assistance kit can be ensured.
Ferner ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung ein Fixierelement bereitzustellen, durch welches ein Anschlusselement in einem Pannenhilfeset einfacher austauschbar ist, wodurch eine mehrfache Benutzung des Pannenhilfesets sichergestellt werden kann. Furthermore, it is the object of the invention to provide a fixing element by means of which a connecting element in a breakdown assistance kit can be replaced more easily, whereby multiple use of the breakdown assistance kit can be ensured.

Figur 1d zeigt das Pannenhilfeset 1 , das Anschlusselement 2 sowie das Fixierelement 3 im nicht verbundenen Zustand. Figures 1a to 1d show an embodiment of the breakdown assistance kit 1 according to the invention using the method according to the invention. The breakdown assistance kit 1 comprises a connection element 2 and a fixing element 3. The connection element 2 has a first, second and third connection 4, 5, 6, wherein the first connection 4 is designed to connect the connection element 2 to a fourth connection 7 of the breakdown assistance kit 1, wherein the fourth connection 7 of the breakdown assistance kit 1 is connected to the compressor via a conveyor channel system. The second connection 5 of the connection element 2 is designed to connect a vehicle tire to the breakdown assistance kit 1, in particular to the connection element 2, and the third connection 6 is designed to connect a sealant bottle. Figure 1a shows the breakdown assistance kit 1 in the fixed and usable state. To release the fixing element 3, it must be pulled out by the user (Figure 1b). The Connecting element 2 can be released from the fourth connector 7 of the breakdown assistance kit 1 by pulling it off (Figure 1c). Figure 1d shows the breakdown assistance kit 1, the connecting element 2 and the fixing element 3 in the unconnected state.
Figuren 2a und 2b zeigen eine weitere Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Pannenhilfesets 1 umfassend das erfindungsgemäße Fixierelement 3. Das Fixierelement 3 ist U-förmig ausgebildet und weist eine Griffkante 8 am oberen Ende des Fixierelements 3 auf mit der der Benutzer das Fixierelement 3 einfach greifen kann (Figur 2a). Das U-förmig ausgebildete Fixierelement 3 weist eine linke und eine rechte Seite auf, wobei die linke Seite eine erstes Führungsfläche 9 und die rechte Seite eine zweite Führungsfläche 10 aufweist. Das Anschlusselement 2 weist eine zur ersten Führungsfläche 9 erste korrespondierende Führungsfläche 11 und eine zur zweiten Führungsfläche 10 zweite korrespondierende Führungsfläche 12 auf, wobei das Fixierelement 3 und das Anschlusselement 2 beim Verbinden eine Spielpassung ausbilden. Ferner weist das Fixierelement 3 einen Funktionsabschnitt 13 auf, welcher seitlich am Fixierelement 3 angeordnet ist. Der Funktionsabschnitt 13 ist so ausgebildet, dass das Fixierelement 3 in nur einer Richtung mit dem Anschlusselement 2 verbindbar ist. Dazu weist das Pannenhilfeset 1 eine asymmetrische Öffnung 14 auf, durch welche das Fixierelement 3 an einer bestimmten Stelle in einer definierten Richtung einsteckbar ist, indem der Funktionsabschnitt 13 des Fixierelements 3 bei falscher Nutzung als Stopper fungiert (Figur 2b). Figures 2a and 2b show a further embodiment of the breakdown assistance set 1 according to the invention, comprising the fixing element 3 according to the invention. The fixing element 3 is U-shaped and has a gripping edge 8 at the upper end of the fixing element 3 with which the user can easily grip the fixing element 3 (Figure 2a). The U-shaped fixing element 3 has a left and a right side, the left side having a first guide surface 9 and the right side having a second guide surface 10. The connecting element 2 has a first guide surface 11 corresponding to the first guide surface 9 and a second guide surface 12 corresponding to the second guide surface 10, the fixing element 3 and the connecting element 2 forming a clearance fit when connected. The fixing element 3 also has a functional section 13 which is arranged laterally on the fixing element 3. The functional section 13 is designed such that the fixing element 3 can be connected to the connection element 2 in only one direction. For this purpose, the breakdown assistance set 1 has an asymmetrical opening 14 through which the fixing element 3 can be inserted at a specific point in a defined direction, with the functional section 13 of the fixing element 3 acting as a stopper in the event of incorrect use (Figure 2b).
