Wall patch system

Abstract

A wall patch repair system for a hole comprising of at least one backing member that is mounted to patch member, a securing means applied to the backing member to secure the backing member and patch member in the hole, a positioning means for positioning the patch member and the backing member in the hole and adding additional pressure to the wall patch system while the securing means is activated.

1 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface comprising: 
 a) at least one backing member having a front side and a back side the front side engaging the surface;    b) a patch member adapted to fit the hole, having a front side and a back side, the back side being mounted to a portion of the front side of the backing member;    c) a securing means adapted to secure the front side of the backing member to the surface and the patch member in the hole; and    d) a removable positioning means adapted to attach to the backing member and the patch member for positioning the patch member and the backing member in the hole while the securing means fits the patch member into the hole.    
   
   
       2 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the patch member is made from drywall sized to accurately fit the size of hole.  
   
   
       3 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the backing member is made from drywall and mounted to the patch member whereby a second portion of the front side of the backing member engages the inside of the surface during securement.  
   
   
       4 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the securing means is an adhesive.  
   
   
       5 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the adhesive is a paper to paper, paper to cardboard, or paper to wood glue.  
   
   
       6 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the positioning means is a string attached to both the backing member and the patch member and at least one shim positioned against the surface and between the string and the patch member.  
   
   
       7 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the patch system is used in a wall.  
   
   
       8 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the patch system is used in a ceiling.  
   
   
       9 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the patch system is used in a corner.  
   
   
       10 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the patch system is used in a ceiling.  
   
   
       11 . A patch system for repairing a hole in a surface as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the system is used for an electrical receptacle installation.  
   
   
       12 . A method of repairing a hole in a surface having an inside and an outside using a patch system comprising: 
 a) placing a patch member having a front side, a back side and adapted to fit the hole over the hole;    b) tracing the patch member over the hole onto the surface;    c) cutting out the traced hole to expose edges of the hole in the surface;    d) applying a securing means to the edges of the hole, the inside of the surface and to at least one backing member having a front side and a back side, the securing means applied to a portion of the front face of the backing member;    e) inserting into the hole the backing member and the patch member using a removable positioning means to lower the backing member and patch member into the hole;    f) positioning the patch member into the hole;    g) engaging the securing means between the inside surface and the front side of the backing member, and the edges of the hole and the patch member; and    h) removing the removable positioning means from the patch member and the backing member.    
   
   
       13 . A method for repairing a hole as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the positioning means is a string attached through the patch member and backing member, and at least one shim whereby the shim is positioned between the string and the front side of the patch member to rest against the outside surface thereby applying pressure to the patch member during securement.  
   
   
       14 . A method for repairing a hole as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising filling in a seam in between the patch member and the outside surface to provide a smooth surface.  
   
   
       15 . A method for repairing a hole as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising removing the string and the shims from the patch member.  
   
   
       16 . A method for repairing a hole as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the method is used for a wall.  
   
   
       17 . A method for repairing a hole as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the method is used for a corner in a wall.  
   
   
       18 . A method for repairing a hole as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the method is used for a ceiling.  
   
   
       19 . A method for repairing a hole as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the method is used for an electrical receptacle installation.
