Patch pod cartridge for a tire repair tool, a tire repair tool including the cartridge and a method of use

摘要

A tire repair tool includes a body portion and a cartridge portion. The tool is used to inject an adhesive or glue and a patch into a puncture in a tire, while the tire is still engaged with the wheel, in order to permanently patch a punctured inner tube of the tire. More particularly, a push rod is used to rupture an adhesive pod, elevate an elevator assembly and eject the adhesive and patch through an outlet tube of the tool and into the existing puncture of the outer tire. A patch is affixed over a puncture in the inner tube by the adhesive to permanently patch the inner tube without having to remove the tire from the wheel or rim.
