ABSTRACT:
An inner tube leak detection device. The device has a sleeve member with two semi-tubal halves which are hinged, or alternately a single unit with a slot formed therein. The sleeve member has an outer wall, an inner wall, side walls joining the outer and inner wall, and end caps defining an interior chamber therein. The inner wall has air openings formed therethrough. The interior chamber is further divided into subchambers by interior dividing screen. A number of lightweight particles are contained within the subchambers of the interior chamber. When the device is placed around an inner tube with a leak, air flowing through the leak will cause the lightweight particles to be agitated, thereby providing a clear visual indication, and often an audible indication the location of the leak.
