ABSTRACT:
A bicycle tube repair device having a spherical rubber member from which strands of rubber bands extend, the spherical member being adapted to be forced through a rupture in a tube to repair punctures, particularly those too large to be repaired by tube repair fluid, thus avoiding the necessity of replacing the tube. The tube is removed from the casing and the rubber member is inserted through the puncture in the tube, and the rubber bands are used to draw the rubber member tightly against the puncture on the inner surface of the tube and the tube then returned to the tire casing, leaving the rubber bands positioned between the tube and casing, and subjecting the spherical member to repair fluid which has been inserted in the tubing, so that the puncture will be repaired by pressing of the said spherical member against the puncture in the tube at the point of rupture, and sealing said rupture, with the rubber bands assisting in maintaining the device in position in the tube when the tube is inflated lodging the bands tightly between the tube and casing.
