Rapid repair of pneumatic tire with damage by cut or tear

Abstract:

A tire patch clamp assembly for sealing a cut in a pneumatic tire may include an inner plate inserted through the cut and placed on an inside surface of the pneumatic tire. An outer plate is placed on an outside surface of the pneumatic tire. The outer plate is coupled to the inner plate with a threaded rod and a secondary pin. A nut is coupled to the inner plate for receiving the threaded rod. A cam handle assembly is attached to the threaded rod and extends from the outer plate. The cam handle assembly turns the threaded rod in the nut to adjust the distance between the inner plate and the outer plate until the cut is sealed between the inner plate and the outer plate.
