  • Patent number: 7322614
    Abstract: A device for repairing automobile, and other vehicle, exhaust pipes that have been broken. The device comprises three major components, four sections of angle steel, four U-bolts, and two thread bolts. The angle steel sections form a trough and a cap. In use, the broken exhaust pipe lies inside the trough formed by the first two sections of angle steel and snugly nestles into the angle. The U-Bolts hold the angle steel in place and each angle steel section can move along the thread bolts. The U-Bolt is tightened where the break in the exhaust pipe exists. The U-Bolt may also be loosened to allow the two exhaust pipe pieces to be pulled apart. The device allows for a clean repair of an exhaust pipe without the need for tape, hangers, welding, or other temporary and/or inefficient measures.
