ABSTRACT:
The specification disclosed an apparatus for covering/patching a breach in a wall of a container such as a ship hull, which comprises: a sealing plate; an anchor comprising an arm that has a collapsed position and an extended position; and a substantially flexible strap fixed to the anchor and able to run through a strap securing device in the sealing plate. The anchor is positioned in its expanded position on one side of the wall, and the strap is passed through the breach to the other side of the wall where the strap rungs through the strap securing device in the plate. The plate is then positioned against the wall, and the strap is pulled until the plate is held tight against the wall to form a seal against a continable fluid.
