US Patent 11953140 Repair patch for pipes

A patch for a pipe includes a patch body that has an outer surface and an inner surface. The patch body is curved to correspond to the curvature of a pipe that may include a defect that is desired to be sealed. A plug extends from the inner surface of the patch and the plug is configured to fit within the defect while the inner surface of the patch is in contact with an outer diameter of the pipe. The patch is adhered to the pipe using a primer and an adhesive that is applied to the outer diameter of the pipe surrounding the defect, the inner surface of the patch, or to both surfaces. Attachment straps may wrap around the pipe and the patch as the adhesive sets to maintain contact between the pipe and the patch.
