ABSTRACT:
A tire repair tool for repairing a puncture in a tubeless tire is provided. A driver tool has a driver-shaped body, the forward extremity of which constitutes an awl-like member having a groove of elliptical cross-sectional configuration. A sleeve member having a plug insertion hole is loosely fitted over the driver-shaped body. The driver-shaped body is inserted into the puncture hole until the sleeve member is fitted into the puncture hole, and then the driver-shaped body is detached so that the sleeve member alone is retained in the puncture hole. A resilient plug has unvulcanized rubber applied thereto and is inserted into the tire through the inside of the sleeve member retained in the puncture hole by the use of a plug insertion tool. The sleeve member and plug insertion tool are withdrawn from the puncture hole, thereby leaving the puncture hole filled with the resilient plug. The resilient plug is vulcanized and becomes integral with the tire.
