Tire Repair Tools With Quick Release And Stop Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tire repair tools require significant physical strength to insert sealing plugs into tires, and they often cause stress to the plug during insertion and may lead to overinsertion without a stopping mechanism.
Innovation Solution
The development of tire repair tools comprising a rasp tool with a modified drill bit and quick release end, an insertion tool with a plug retention end and shank, and a power tool, which together allow for easy insertion and release of sealing plugs with minimal effort, using a rasp tool or knurled reamer to clean the hole and a power drill for assistance, and incorporating a stop to prevent overinsertion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional tire repair tools are used to insert sealing plugs into tires, then the puncture can be sealed, but great physical strength is required and stress is applied to the sealing plug
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical insertion with a power tool-driven system. The insertion tool is rotated by a power tool to insert the sealing plug into the tire puncture, eliminating the need for manual physical strength and reducing stress on the plug during insertion.
Solution Approach 2:
The insertion tool serves as an intermediary device between the power tool and the sealing plug. It holds the plug in its insertion position and transfers the rotational motion from the power tool to the plug, enabling controlled insertion without direct manual force application.
2Manufacturing precision
If traditional tire repair tools are used, then puncture sealing is achieved, but overinsertion occurs without a stopping mechanism
Solution Approach 1:
The insertion tool includes a stop mechanism that provides feedback to prevent overinsertion. The stop engages with the tire surface or internal structure at the correct insertion depth, automatically halting further insertion and ensuring precise depth control.
Solution Approach 2:
The insertion tool is designed with predetermined stop positions and guide features that establish the correct insertion depth before the operation begins. The tool's geometry and stop mechanisms are pre-configured to automatically prevent overinsertion.
3Productivity
If manual insertion tools are used, then plug insertion is possible, but significant physical effort is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical insertion with a power tool-driven system. The insertion tool is rotated by a power tool to insert the sealing plug into the tire puncture, eliminating the need for manual physical strength and reducing stress on the plug during insertion.
Solution Approach 2:
The power tool provides intermittent rotational action to insert the sealing plug. This periodic rotation allows the plug to be gradually worked into the puncture hole with controlled movements, increasing efficiency while reducing required force.

AI summary
The tire repair tools preferably includes a rasp tool, an insertion tool and a power tool. The rasp tool preferably includes a modified drill bit and a quick release end. However, the rasp tool may be replaced with a knurled reamer. The quick release end is preferably inserted into a quick chuck. The insertion tool preferably includes a plug retention end, a shank and the quick release end. A plug slot is disposed in the plug retention end. A sealing plug is inserted into the plug slot, similar to a prior art tire repair tool. In a second embodiment, the quick release ends are replaced with a socket end. In a third embodiment, the quick release ends are replaced with a T-handle. The rasp or reamer clean out a tire hole and the insertion tool is used with a power tool, ratchet or T-handle.
