ABSTRACT:
The invention is a light, portable, miniaturized tire inflator adapted to fit in a limited space, such as in a tire well for a deflated, space-saving tire in a trunk of an automobile, and adapted to be carried or held in one hand. The tire inflator includes: a pyrotechnic material, an ignitor mechanism, a pressure vessel, and a nozzle. The pyrotechnic material generates an inflating gas upon burning to inflate a tire without a source of stored fluid. The ignitor mechanism is located adjacent to the pyrotechnic material to ignite and cause the pyrotechnic material to burn. The pressure vessel holds the pyrotechnic material. The pressure vessel has a tire end and a pyrotechnic end. The nozzle is mounted on the tire end of the pressure vessel. The nozzle is adapted to be connected directly to a valve of the tire. The nozzle includes a combined connection for the tire valve and initator for convening the chain reaction which will automatically result in the inflation of the tire on connection of the inflator to the tire.
