ABSTRACT:
A tire puncture repair device comprising a handle, an attached shank member, a conical threaded penetrater member, and a bolt/cover assembly. An elongate resilient obturater strip is threaded through an eyelet on the bottom of the penetrater member, folded lengthwise thereabout and inserted into the bore of the shank member. The ends of the inserted obturater strip are secured to respective anchor plates on a medial portion of the shank member, and the bolt/cover assembly secured thereover. The shank member is then inserted through a tire puncture with the threaded penetrater member boring therethrough. Afterwhich, a sliding bolt member is displaced forward within the shank member so as to push the penetrater member away from the end thereof and into the interior of the tire, carrying a bight of obturator strip therewith. The shank member is then extracted from the tire wall wherein the obturater strip remains lodged therein to seal the puncture.
