Imagine being stranded on the road w
ith a two w
heeler with a puncture- a
flat tyre. This innovation is a low
cost, portable, compact aid to inflate tyre
tubes of any vehicle having kick start or auto start mechanism
so as to fixthe problem
on the spot and enable the rider to reach nearby gas station orrepair shop.
This device cleverly uses the air inside the com
pressor, so that, while kick
starting, this air is utilized and transferred to the tube. A pinch of polym
ergranules is also inserted to seal the leakage in the tube.
