Abstract: The present invention relates to a repair device for planar surfaces, such as drywall panels, wherein the repair of holes in a panel can be performed without a laborious and time-consuming process whereby a portion of the drywall must be removed or the entire drywall panel must be detached from the wall studs and replaced with a new panel. The device comprises a fan like object which opens up to form an umbrella effect, implemented by the use of a rotary mounting arrangement of fan blades which are slidably disposed or mounted about the periphery of a disc. In addition, a tripod-like supporting arrangement is disconnectably connected to the disc for supporting the device against the inner surface of the panel. In use, the device, with the fan in a closed position, is inserted through a hole or opening in the planar surface which requires repair.
