Publication number: 20150143958Abstract: A tire repair tool includes a body portion and a cartridge portion. The tool is used to inject an adhesive or glue and a patch assembly into a puncture in a tire, while the tire is still engaged with the wheel, in order to permanently patch a punctured inner tube of the tire. More particularly, a spring is used to eject a patch assembly and adhesive through an outlet tube of the tool and into the existing puncture of the outer tire. A patch is affixed over a puncture in the inner tube by the adhesive to permanently patch the inner tube without having to remove the tire from the wheel or rim.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2013Publication date: May 28, 2015Applicant: PATCH N RIDE LLCInventors: ALEXANDER DEISER, GEORGE FETKO

Patent number: 8459150Abstract: Provide a sealing device with which simple and reliable operation can be performed. When stored, a liquid agent container, in which a sealing agent is contained, is temporarily held above a injection unit. When the liquid agent container is forcibly pressed downward in use, the upper end of a pressing jig penetrates through an aluminum seal into the container, and the sealing agent flows out to a compressor unit is activated and compressed air is supplied into the liquid agent container to place the pressurized sealing agent into a pneumatic tire through a joint hose.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2007Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Masaki Yoshida, Yuji Takeda

Patent number: 8028606Abstract: Provided is a tire puncture repair device capable of injecting a puncture sealing agent into a tire stably and speedily. A container is compressed between plate members by placing one of the plate members on the ground and pressing down the other one of the plate members with a foot. Thereby, the puncture sealing agent is discharged from the container and is injected into the tire through an injection tube. Discharge amount control means is attached to the injection tube to level an amount of the puncture sealing agent to be discharged.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2009Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd.Inventor: Mitsuru Naito

Patent number: 6202510Abstract: A tire plug insertion tool for sealing a repair plug in a punctured pneumatic tire on an automobile or vehicle wheel. In a preferred embodiment the tile plug insertion tool is characterized by an elongated handle having a flanged wheel-engaging shaft adjustably and pivotally mounted in a slot in one end of the handle. A carriage sleeve is slidably and adjustably mounted on the handle and a plug insertion shaft having a bifurcated bottom end, extends downwardly from pivotal attachment to the carriage sleeve. After the wheel having the punctured tire is optionally removed from the automobile or vehicle, the flanged bottom end of the vertical wheel-engaging shaft is caused to removably engage the cupped wheel rim or hub, and the handle is extended horizontally over the tire tread. The plug insertion shaft is then located above the puncture opening in the tire tread, by manually sliding the carriage sleeve and suspended plug insertion shaft along the handle and securing the carriage sleeve in place.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Inventor: Jacob Kupelian
