ABSTRACT:
A flexible sheet reinforcing apparatus (10) reinforces holes and tears in flexible sheets such as curtains, covers and tarpaulins. The reinforcing apparatus includes a first member (12) and a second member (14). Reinforcing is accomplished by inserting a first connector (30) through a hole into a second connector (50). Reinforcements (20) reinforce the flexible sheet around the hole. For repair of a shower curtain or tarpaulin or providing a grommet, first connector (30) has a hollow shaft (32) and second connector (50) has a hollow tube (52) through which a shower curtain hook, tie down or other device may be inserted. The repaired curtain or tarpaulin or the grommet is ready for its next use. Flexible sheet reinforcing apparatus (10) may be used through two or more sheets having registering holes. Flexible sheet reinforcing apparatus (10) may be removed for use in a different repair or grommet application.
