Abstract

A tire repair kit has two ends including a guiding tip end having a diameter gradually decreasing to form a tip head and a connection end adapted to connect with a tool and capable of being axially detaching from the tool, wherein a receiving space defined between the guiding tip end and the connection end adapted to hold a tire patch inside.

Claims (24)

1 . A tire repair kit comprising two ends including:

a guiding tip end, wherein the guiding tip end has a diameter gradually decreasing to form a tip head;

a connection end adapted to connect with a tool and capable of being axially detached from the tool; and

a receiving space defined between the guiding tip end and the connection end adapted to hold a tire patch inside, wherein

after connecting with the tool and placing the tire patch inside the receiving space, the guiding tip end is inserted into a hole in a tire by the tool, until the tire repair kit is fully inserted through the tire hole, and at least a part of two ends of the tire patch are held in the tire hole;

the tire repair kit is held in the tire, and the tire patch extends out of a broken hole when the tool is detached from the connection end of the tire repair kit; and

two holding holes are defined diametrically in the tire repair kit, and two receiving spaces are defined in the two holding holes.

2 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tire repair kit is shaped as a column, and the connection end has a connection structure formed axially on the connection end, wherein the connection structure is a circular hole, a rectangular hole, a hexagonal hole, or a polygonal hole.

3 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a notch is formed through a periphery of the guiding tip end to form the guiding tip end as a fork structure, wherein the fork structure includes a first tip head portion and a second tip head portion, and the notch is formed between the first tip portion and the second tip portion.

4 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a notch is formed through a periphery of the guiding tip end to form the guiding tip end as a fork structure, wherein the fork structure includes a first tip head portion and a second tip head portion, and the notch is formed between the first tip portion and the second tip portion.

5 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the notch extends axially from tip head toward the two holding holes and communicates with the two holding holes.

6 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a notch is defined in a side of the tip head and communicates with the two holding holes, the guiding tip end is divided into a first tip head portion having a long length and a second tip head portion having a short length shorter than the long length of the first tip head portion, and a stop portion is formed on the second tip portion and protruding toward the receiving space.

7 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a direction in which the notch defined through the tire repair kit is the same as a direction in which the two holding holes are defined through the tire repair kit.

8 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a direction in which the notch defined through the tire repair kit is the same as a direction in which the two holding holes are defined through the tire repair kit.

9 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a neck structure is formed on an outer surface of the tire repair kit and is adjacent to the connection end, and the connection end has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the outer surface to form a flange between the outer surface and the connection end.

10 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a neck structure is formed on an outer surface of the tire repair kit and is adjacent to the connection end, and the connection end has having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the outer surface to form a flange between the outer surface and the connection end.

11 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a neck structure is formed on an outer surface of the tire repair kit and is adjacent to the connection end, and the connection end has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the outer surface to form a flange between the outer surface and the connection end.

12 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a neck structure is formed on an outer surface of the tire repair kit and is adjacent to the connection end, and the connection end has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the outer surface to form a flange between the outer surface and the connection end.

13 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a neck structure is formed on an outer surface of the tire repair kit and is adjacent to the connection end, and the connection end has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the outer surface to form a flange between the outer surface and the connection end.

14 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tire repair kit is made of a biodegradable material.

15 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the tire repair kit is made of a biodegradable material.

16 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the tire repair kit is made of a biodegradable material.

17 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the tire repair kit is made of a biodegradable material.

18 . The tire repair kit as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the tire repair kit is made of a biodegradable material.
