Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides an improved wall patch system for repairing holes. The system includes a backing member, a securing means, a positioning means, and an additional pressure member. The system can be used for repairing drywall surfaces, corners, or for rewiring or re-plumbing purposes. The system is economical, simple, environmentally friendly, and results in minimal waste. The system comes in different sizes and allows the user to work within the wall cavity. The technical effects of the invention include improved efficiency, flexibility, and ease of use for repairing holes in walls."

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, wall and ceiling surfaces such as plasterboard or drywall damage easily when they are bumped into inadvertently.
Also electrical, plumbing or other home repairs often require that a hole be formed into the drywall.
Historically as holes in drywall have been difficult to replace, an entire sheet of drywall was often used since it was too difficult to replace a smaller section.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates in general to a patch for a damaged wall or ceiling and more particularly to a wall or ceiling patch system that provides for patches that may be applied to holes of various sizes by inserting the patch through holes in sheetrock, drywall board and other wall surfaces. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Most homes and buildings that are constructed today have walls and ceilings that are constructed using vertical studs and horizontal ceiling joists and drywall or plasterboard nailed between the studs and ceiling joists. Unfortunately, wall and ceiling surfaces such as plasterboard or drywall damage easily when they are bumped into inadvertently. Also electrical, plumbing or other home repairs often require that a hole be formed into the drywall. As such the drywall must be patched to repair any hole in the drywall. Historically as holes in drywall have been difficult to replace, an entire sheet of drywall was often used since it w...
