ABSTRACT:
The leak sealing-pad for sealing off the damaged wall of containers and pipes is constructed from reinforced rubber material which is vulcanized under heat. It has a pad-surface (20) which is faced towards the leak and a pad-surface, equally as large, which faces away from the leak (22), both these surfaces being joined at their edges to form an air-tight inner-chamber (24) which can be accessed externally via a nipple (26). Attachment components (30), loops 54, and bridges 64 are attached to two edge zones which lie opposite each other, the narrow sides 28. These attachments are intended for a tension device which spans the container or pipe. Both the surfaces of the pad (20, 22) have internal reinforcing with bisecting, flexible reinforcing threads (34, 36; 40, 42). The pad-surface which faces toward the leak (20) is reinforced solely with reinforcing threads (34, 36) applied diagonally to the rectangular sides (28, 38) of the pad, while the pad-surface which faces away from the leak (22) has reinforcing threads (40, 42) which run parallel to the rectangular sides (28, 38).
