ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a rubber band for pipe repairs that can be tightly wound about a pipe of various types at a portion where fluid is leaking to cut off the leakage. A tentative fixing means is provided on one end of the rubber band and a retaining means is provided on the other to prevent the wound rubber band from loosening. After cutting off the leakage with the rubber band, a mending tape applied with a substance that reacts with water and becomes hardened is conveniently wound over the rubber band.
