Abstract
The exhaust pipe repair system replaces the damaged portion of the pipe that has been removed from the pipe network that transports a gas. The exhaust pipe repair system creates a fluidic connection between a plurality of terminal ends in the pipe network formed where the pipe was removed. The exhaust pipe repair system includes a transport apparatus and a plurality of collars. The transport apparatus provides a replacement transport channel. The plurality of collars attach the exhaust pipe repair system to the plurality of terminal ends. The plurality of collars: 1) forms a gas impermeable seal that prevents gas from leaking out of the pipe network; and, 2) allows for the adjustment of exhaust pipe repair system to match the span between the plurality of terminal ends.
Claims17
A system for repairing a leak in a pipe comprising:
- a transport apparatus and a plurality of collars;
- wherein the system replaces the damaged portion of a pipe used as a fluidic connection in a pipe network;
- wherein the pipe network is configured to transport and process a gas;
- wherein the system is configured to replace the damaged portion of the pipe after the damaged pipe has been removed from the pipe network;
- wherein the system creates a replacement fluidic connection between a plurality of terminal ends in the pipe network that are formed at the boundary where the damaged portion of the pipe was removed from the pipe network;
- wherein the transport apparatus provides a replacement transport channel through which the gas transported and processed through the pipe network flows between the plurality of terminal ends;
- wherein the plurality of collars attach to the plurality of terminal ends;
- wherein the pipe network is the exhaust system of a vehicle;
- wherein the plurality of collars forms a gas impermeable seal that prevents gas from leaking out of the pipe network;
- wherein the plurality of collars allows for the adjustment of the system to match a span between the plurality of terminal ends;
- wherein the plurality of terminal ends comprises a third end and a fourth end;
- wherein cutting the damaged pipe out of the pipe network creates a third end and a fourth end in the pipe network;
- wherein the third end and the fourth end attach to the plurality of collars;
- wherein the third end is further defined with a fifth outer diameter;
- wherein the fourth end is further defined with a sixth outer diameter;
- wherein each of the plurality of collars comprises a mounting collar, an attachment cylinder, a sealing frustum, a muffler clamp, and an elastomeric material.
