Abstract: A snap lock device is disclosed for hingedly securing an extension to a downspout. The device includes a first member having a head and a shank extending from the head. The shank extends through a first hole defined by the extension and through a second hole defined by the downspout. A second member cooperates with the first member and the second member defines an aperture for the locking reception therein of the shank for locking the extension and downspout together.

Abstract: A patch for repair or finishing of surfaces, such as drywall or plaster walls and ceilings, wherein the patch includes a liquid-hardenable material (such as a water-hardenable material) coated on and/or impregnated in a substrate or carrier. The patch is wetted and then applied to the surface of the wall or ceiling and pressed against the surface. The liquid-hardenable material becomes gel-like and adheres the patch to the surface. Upon drying, it sets to a hard coating overlying a hole, crack, recess or joint in the wall or ceiling. If necessary, joint compound or the like can be applied to the edges of the patch to provide a smooth taper to the surrounding surface. The liquid-hardenable material can be a cement, plaster, resin or glass composition. The carrier can be paper, or a fabric comprised of natural or synthetic fibers.
