A tire puncture repair device comprising a handle (10), and attached shank member (20), a conical threaded penetrator member (30), and a cover/bolt assembly (40). An elongate resilient obturator strip (50) is threaded through an eyelet on the base of the penetrator member, folded lengthwise thereabout and inserted into the bore (22a) of the shank member. The ends of the inserted obturator strip are secured to respective anchor plates (24) on a medial portion of the shank member, and the cover/bolt assembly secured thereover. The shank member is then inserted through a tire puncture with the threaded penetrator member boring therethrough. After which, a sliding bolt member (41) is displaced forward within the shank member so as to push the penetrator member away from the end of thereof and into the interior of the tire, carrying a bight of obturator strip therewith. The shank member is then extracted from the tire wall wherein the obturator strip remains lodged therein to seal the puncture.
