Abstract: A device facilitating the repair of a puncture in an elastomeric product (e.g., inflatable tubeless tire) which envisions the insertion of an expandable plug and cooperant contracting means into the puncture aperture in manner such that, as the contracting means is caused to be jacked longitudinally outwardly of the puncture aperture, the plug is caused to be expanded laterally in a zone of least resistance so as to define a bulbous like protrusion which grows as the jacking ensues so as to provide a locked or embracing engagement with and tight seal relative to the elastomeric product.
