The puncture repair liquid and compressed air are injected into the tire from the tire valve 22 of the wheel 21 assembled to the tire 20. Here, the container 31 needs to be fixed in a stable posture so as not to fall or tilt while the puncture repair liquid is being poured into the tire. For this reason, Patent Document 1 proposes fixing the container 31 to the side surface of the compressor 10 by interposing a surface fastener 32 between the outer surface of the container 31 and the outer surface of the compressor 10. According to this puncture repair method, the container 31 can be fixed in a stable posture while the puncture repair liquid is being poured into the tire.

  However, once puncture repair is performed using such a puncture repair device, it is necessary to prepare a new container containing the puncture repair liquid and mount it on the vehicle. Must have a zipper. For this reason, there has been a demand for a puncture repair device having a more versatile and simple configuration and a puncture repair method using the same.
