ABSTRACT:
A method of repairing a small puncture, such as a nail hole in a pneumatic tire, and a patch used in such method. A conventional, plugless-type, circular rubber patch is provided for covering the puncture adjacent the inner peripheral surface of the tire. Unvulcanized rubbery material is disposed in a recess provided adjacent the puncture. The patch is then heated and placed under pressure to collapse the recess and force the unvulcanized rubbery material into the puncture and vulcanize it therein. In one aspect of the invention, a conventional rubber O-ring is utilized to form the recess and restrict movement of the unvulcanized rubbery material into the puncture.
