A DEVICE FOR MOVING A PUNCTURED OR DEFLATED TYRE TWO-WHEELER The present invention relates to a device for moving a punctured or deflated tyre two-wheeler to a nearby service station without damaging the tyre or tube. Background of Invention: Tyres of two-wheelers such as motorcycles or scooters often get punctured or lose air while in use or even when they are parked for long periods of time. Riding the vehicle in such a condition to the nearby service station or puncture repair shop is not only dangerous, damages the tyre and tube permanently, but also upsets the aligimient and balance of the wheel. Even pushing the vehicle results in tyre/tube damage and is also tiresome and time consuming. Most two-wheelers do not carry a spare tyre and the common solution is to remove the tyre, get it repaired and then fix it back. This is not a practical solution as it is tiring and time consuming. Alternatively, as two-wheelers cannot be towed away by other vehicles or by tow trucks and cranes, a truck may have to be used to move the vehicle to the desired destination. Objective and Summary of Invention: In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks the present invention provides a device for moving the punctured or deflated tyre vehicle to a nearby service station. The object of the present invention is to provide a device that allows the punctured or deflated tyre vehicle to safely reach the nearby service station without damaging the tyre or tube in less time and without much effort. It is an object of the invention to provide a device that allows for slack adjustment in the chain of a two-wheeler. To meet the aforementioned objectives the instant invention provides a device for moving a punctured or deflated tyre two-wheeler comprising : - two arms connected to each other at the bottom by a connecting means to form a U shaped frame, - said connecting means having at least one roller for moving said punctured or deflated tyre two-wheeler, - an attachment means at the end of said two arms for fixing the device to the two-wheeler either at the front wheel or hind wheel of two wheeler, and - means to lock and hold said device into position such that the two wheeler rests on one wheel and on said roller or is raised 90-100 degrees upwards as required Brief description of the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 shows the front view of the device in accordance with this invention. Figure 2 shows an alternate embodiment of the device according to this invention. Detailed description of the Invention: With reference to figure 1, the device for moving a punctured or deflated tyre vehicle to a nearby service station without damaging the tyre or tube with a single roller is shown. The device consists of two arms (1 and 2) joined together by a connecting means (5) to form a U shaped frame. The connecting means (5) could be a bush, axle or rod. The connecting means carries at least one roller element (6). The two arms (1 and 2) have attachment means (3 and 4) at the other end. The attachment means (3 and 4) at the end of the arms are used to attach the device to the vehicle by a nut through holes (13, 14). The device has means to hold and lock the said U shaped frame at 90-100 degrees upward or into use as required. This means is a spring-loaded knob (7) as shown in figure 1 to hold the device raised at around 90 to 100 degrees from the ground. The knob (7) locks with holes (8,9) on the attachment means (3,4). When the knob (7) is released from hole (9) the device is lowered and the rollers are below the tyre and in touch with the ground surface. The knob is then locked into position with the corresponding hole (8) on the attachment means (3,4) to hold the device vertical. The attachment means also includes a chain adjusting means (10) that corrects chain slackening. The chain adjustment means can be in the form of a nut and screw with the travel of the nut corresponding to the tightening of the chain. In an alternative embodiment the connecting means (5) is a rod having a frame (11). The said frame is provided with an axle or bush (12) for moving the roller (6) on the ground as shown in the figure 2. The device can function independently without using the running engine or it can also be connected to, incorporated into or integrated vsith cogwheel or any other part to use the power of running engine to assist in moving the said punctured or deflated tyre vehicle. The device may be fixed to the front or rear wheel depending on the requirement. Further, it may be permanently fixed to the vehicle or may be carried along as a spare. In most cases the device is fixed with the shock absorbers of the vehicle. The device also serves as a bumper to the vehicle when in the raised position. Further, lights or blinkers may be attached to the device as per the requirement. The device can also be used as a locking means for the vehicle as an added security measure by using a metal rod. We Claim: 1. A device for moving a punctured or deflated tyre two wheeler characterized in that: - two arms connected to each other at the bottom to form a U shape frame by a connecting means; - said connecting means having at least one roller for moving said punctured two wheeler; - an attachment means at the end of said two arms for fixing the device to the main frame of the two wheeler either at the front wheel or hind wheel and - means to lock and hold said device into position such that the two wheeler rests on one wheel and on said roller or is raised 90-100 degrees upwards as required. 2.
