Abstract
A tire-repair bottle includes a latex bottle, a balloon mounted in an inlet of the bottle, a connector fastened to an extension tube at the inlet of the bottle and connected to an air compressor through an air hose, a connector fastened to an extension tube at an outlet of the bottle to hold a one-way valve and to secure a fluid hose for connection to a tire to be repaired. When the balloon is inflated by the air compressor to increase the pressure inside the bottle, the one-way valve is opened for enabling latex to flow out of the bottle through the flow guide into the tire that is connected to the connector at the outlet of the bottle, and the balloon explodes when inflated to a predetermined status to touch a sharp point of the bottle, for enabling compressed air to enter the tire.
