ABSTRACT:
A patch for the repair of a hole in an interior wall. This patch is easy to apply and requires no tools. The patch has a pressure sensitive adhesive layer which can be affixed to the wall surrounding the hole. Perpheral portions of the patch are thinner than that portion disposed over the hole itself and the outer surface of the patch is flat. The combination of tapering peripheral portions and a flat outer surface allows the path to be blended in with the rest of the wall so that the patch, when it is covered with paint, becomes unnoticeable. The patch is fabricated from a moldable plastic that is placed in a presss having opposing die faces which are flat and concave, respectively. The path is preferably reinforced for use on larger holes. The reinforcements can be made from a wide range of materials including metals, fiberglass and nylon. The paintability of any exposed surface of the patch may be enhanced by bonding a thin sheet of paintable material to the surface. The inner surface of the patch is coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive layer to allow the patch to be fastened quickly to the wall.
