  • Patent number: 8776470
    Abstract: A wall repair apparatus, system, and method to repair localized wall damage and easily support an installed wall repair patch are disclosed. The disclosed embodiments provide a convenient way to both position and align a wall repair patch with the outer face of the wall surface and support it in place from within the wall cavity. The wall repair apparatus supports and reinforces a wall repair patch to prevent the wall repair patch from moving within a repaired wall, thus causing further damage. The wall repair apparatus comprises a female interlocking member and a male interlocking member that are appropriately sized to securely fit inside of a wall cavity, behind a wall repair patch. A male interlocking member with annular rings is sized to fit within a female interlocking member to form a tension-fitted wall repair apparatus that spans a wall cavity and supports a wall repair patch.
