Wall Repair Kit With Front-Back Blocking and Filler Aperture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Repairing holes in walls is cumbersome and time-consuming, often requiring multiple steps and materials like new drywall sections, tape, and plaster, which can be inefficient and labor-intensive.
Innovation Solution
A wall repair kit comprising a back blocking element, a front blocking element, and a connecting element, with the front element having an input aperture for filler agent, allowing the connecting element to secure the elements together and facilitate filling the hole with a filler agent through the input aperture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional wall repair methods using new drywall sections, tape, and plaster are used, then the repair can be completed, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The repair system is divided into distinct functional components: a front blocking element that seals the front of the hole, a back blocking element that seals the back of the hole, and a connecting element that bridges them. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while working together as an integrated repair system, eliminating the need for multiple separate materials like drywall sections, tape, and plaster
Solution Approach 2:
The blocking elements serve multiple functions simultaneously: they block the hole from both front and back, provide structural support, create pathways for filler agent delivery, and enable secure mounting. This multi-functionality consolidates what would traditionally require multiple separate materials and steps into a single integrated system
2Ease of operation
If multiple materials like new drywall sections, tape, and plaster are used, then the hole can be repaired, but the process becomes labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The front blocking element, back blocking element, and connecting element are merged into a single repair system that can be installed as one unit. This combining of previously separate materials (drywall, tape, plaster) into an integrated assembly dramatically simplifies the repair process, reducing it to basic steps of insertion, connection, and filler application

AI summary
According to one aspect of what is invented, a wall repair kit 10 comprises a back blocking element 12, for blocking a hole 13 in a wall 15, behind the hole in the wall; and a front blocking element 14, for blocking the hole in the wall, in front of the hole in the wall. Embodiments are disclosed that comprise a connecting element 18, to connect the front blocking element and the back blocking element. Embodiments are disclosed wherein the front blocking element comprises an input aperture 16, to facilitate inputting a filler agent into the hole in the wall, through the front blocking element. Embodiments are disclosed that are operable with the connecting element travelling through the input aperture, to connect the back blocking element and the front blocking element. Embodiments are disclosed where a container, for containing filler agent, is removably attachable to the front blocking element. According to another aspect, a blocking element, for blocking a hole in a wall, comprises a blocking body; wherein the blocking body comprises a break arrangement, configured for breaking, to facilitate breaking off a portion of the blocking body.
