A plug for repairing a flat tire, comprising:
- a cap, and
- an elongated body extending from a proximal end that is connected to or integrated with the cap to a distal end,
- wherein the elongated body is circular in cross section and has a rotational axis along the elongation direction;
- wherein the elongated body has cross sectional diameter Dx at a position Px along the rotational axis;
- wherein distance Lx is defined as a distance from the proximal end to positon Px along the rotational axis,
- wherein the proximal end is at position P0 with L0=0 and has a cross sectional diameter D0≠0, and the distal end is at position Pd with Ld and has a cross sectional diameter Dd which is near 0;
- wherein a cross sectional diameter Dm at position Pm with Lm is greater than cross sectional diameters at any positions other than Pm along the rotational axis;
- and
- wherein diameter Dm at position Pm remains unchanged after the flat tire repairing is completed.
