PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Applying Repairing Solution to Punctured
Pneumatic Tyres.
I, HARRY HEATON, the Younger, Managing Director of the Firm of Capon
Heaton and Company Limited of Lifford Mills, Kings Norton, in the County of
Worcester, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows : —
My invention relates to an improved device for applying repairing india-rubber
or other solution or liqu'd to punctured pneumatic tyres and its object is to dispense
with the syringe or squirt at present used for this purpose.
In repairing a puncture in a pneumatic tyre as at present practised, the solution
is contained in one vessel and taken into a syringe and discharged by the syringe
into the aperture either with or without previous plugging.
My invention consists in combining a collapsible metallic tube containing the
repairing solution or liquid with an injection nozzle which I screw on the end of the
tube. The injection nozzle is provided with a fine discharge aperture at the end of
a tapered or needle discharge tube and either before or after plugging the puncture
in the walls of the pneumatic tyre I insert the injection end or needle into the
puncture and discharge a sufficient quantity of solution into it by pressing the
containing tube.
I then withdraw the needle and replace the closing screw cap to retain the
solution.
I sometimes arrange to take off the injecting nozzle and put on the closing cap,
but I may also arrange the injecting nozzle to remain on the containing tube and
arrange it to receive the screw cap to close the jet.
Dated this 9th day of December 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Applying Repairing Solution to Punctured
Pneumatic Tyres.
I, HARRY HEATON, the Younger, Managing Director of the Firm of Capon,
Heaton and Company Limited, of Lifford Mills, Kings Norton, in the County of
Worcester, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved device for applying repairing india-rubber
or other solution or liquid to punctured pneumatic tyres and its object is to dispense
with the syringe or squirt at present used for this purpose.
In repairing a puncture in a pneumatic tyre as at present practised, the solution
is contained in one vessel and taken into a syringe and discharged by the syringe
into the aperture either with or without previous plugging.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrating the application of
my invention-
Figure is a section of a collapsible metallic tube arranged for the application
of my invention.
Figure 1 is an ordinary screw cap for closing the tube.
Figure 1B is a section of my injecting nozzle also arranged to screw on to the
tube

page_text: Figure 2 shows the collapsible tube with the nozzle screwed on.
Figure 3 is a section showing the injecting nozzle in position and closed by an
external screw cap.
My invention consists in combining a collapsible metallic tube A containing the
repairing solution or liquid with an injection nozzle B which I screw on the end of
the said tube. The injection nozzle is provided with a fine discharge aperture at
the end of a tapered or needle discharge tube as shown at B' (Figures 2 and 3),
and either before or after plugging the puncture in the walls of the pneumatic tyre
I insert the injection end or needle B' into the puncture and discharge a sufficient
quantity of solution into it by pressing the containing tube.
I then withdraw the said needle B₁ and replace the closing screw cap C to retain
the solution.
I sometimes arrange to take off the injecting nozzle B and put on the closing
cap C as illustrated at Figures 1 and 2, but I may also arrange the injecting
nozzle B to remain on the containing tube A and arrange it to receive an external
screw cap D to close the jet as shown at Figure 3.
It is obvious that the nozzle B may form part of the collapsible tube A. and the
end may be closed by screw or plug caps of various proportions.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An improved device for applying repairing solution to punctured pneumatic
tyres consisting of a collapsible tube for containing and ejecting the said solution
together with an attached injecting nozzle substantially as hereinbefore described
with reference to Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings.
2. An improved device for applying repairing solution to punctured pneumatic
tyres consisting of a collapsible tube for containing and ejecting the said solution
together with an injecting nozzle attached or forming part of the tube, the said
nozzle being closed by a cap external to it, substantially as herein before described
with reference to Figure 3 of the drawings.
Dated this 26th day of August 1893.
