ABSTRACT:
A kit for repairing a hole or providing a more substantial mounting for an anchor device, as in a panel of a hollow construction, such as room partition or a hollow door, includes a thin sheet of perforated material which is cut to form a plate slightly exceeding the size of the hole after it has been squared-up. A suitable adhesive, such as two sided adhesive tape, is applied to a face of the perforate plate along substantially the entire periphery of the plate. An operatively rigid tool having resilient legs with feet at adjacent ends, has its legs slight spread apart and the feet inserted through spaced apart ones of the perforations until the legs seat in these perforations and the tool is generally perpendicular to the plate. A rod is then inserted through a perforation preferably aligned with and equally spaced from the perforations receiving the legs. An outer end of the tool has a recess which receives the rod, so that the tool and rod may be held by the fingers of one hand for inserting the plate through the hole and then pulling outwardly on the tool so that the adhesive secures the plate to the inner face of the panel being repaired. The rod is then pushed through the perforation until it is seated against a fixed portion of the hollow construction, such as another panel, for example. The rod may be smooth, in which event friction between the rod and the plate operatively fixes the rod and plate to each other; or the rod may have abutments for engaging the panel about the perforation, to operatively fixedly secure it to the rod. The outer portion of the rod is then broken off proximate the plate, and the hole is filled with a suitable patching material.
