The Puncture Repair Kit

The Puncture Repair Kit
In India, 1 out of every 3 school going children owns a bicycle. They drive their prized possession anytime anywhere but the complication occurs when the tire tube gets punctured. If they can fix it by themselves, they will become self-dependent and a problem solver. A colorful kit which a child can wear, keep notes, carry anywhere, and use anytime is a productive solution. 
It features a waterproof ‘glow in the dark’ fabric which is helpful at night. Three small Velcro straps at the base can carry a bottle and also attach the kit to the cycle rod, furthermore, adjustable straps are provided to wear it on the back. 
MULTI PURPOSE STRAP 
Straps makes it convenient to carry the kit everywhere by attaching it with the bicycle rod. Also, it can be used to carry a water bottle. Velcro is stitched over the strap for a stronger hold. An elastic in the middle provides extra strength. 
Tools
The kit contains 5 components: A rubber solution tube and a tyre lever placed in the bottom partition of the kit, 20 small patches and 10 big patches placed in the side pocket inside the kit, a meter long valve rubber, and a scrubber (regmar). 
PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT 
3 different prototypes were designed before producing the final product.
