Abstract
A construction material repair device designed for filling, repairing, and restoring defects in construction materials comprising right-handed female tapered helical thread to aid insertion and adhesively secured into the construction material to cosmetically repair and structurally restore the defect in minimal steps, time, and cost. The device is manufactured in a variety of materials to match or complement the construction material requiring repair.
Claims20
A construction material repair device for repairing a construction material, comprising;
- a conical portion, further comprising;
- a conical surface including a conical surface area, whereby said conical surface forms a right circular cone;
- a central axis, whereby said central axis is coincident with a rotational axis of said right circular cone;
- a recess formed in said conical surface including a recess area;
- whereby said recess forms a helical cut in said conical surface;
- whereby said recess area is defined as the area of said conical surface area removed by said recess;
- and
- a recess edge formed by an intersection of said conical surface and said recess;
- a distal end, whereby said distal end is located in close proximity to an apex of said conical surface;
- a proximal end, opposite said distal end;
- and
- a proximal planar surface at said proximal end of said conical portion;
- whereby said recess area is less than an area of said conical surface area outside of said recess area.

A construction material repair device for repairing a construction material, comprising;
- a conical portion further comprising;
- a conical surface including a conical surface area, whereby said conical surface forms a right circular cone;
- at least one recess formed in the conical surface including a recess area;
- whereby said recess area is defined as the area of said conical surface area removed by said at least one recess;
- a distal end, whereby said distal end is located in close proximity to an apex of said conical surface;
- a proximal end, opposite said distal end;
- a recess edge formed by an intersection of said conical surface and said at least one recess;
- a proximal planar surface at said proximal end;
- an end feature at said distal end;
- a central axis, whereby said central axis coincident with a rotational axis of said right circular cone;
- and
- a tab, extending perpendicularly from said proximal planar surface;
- comprising
- a plurality of tab walls, the distance between said tab walls defining a tab thickness;
- a cutout, whereby said cutout extents through at least a portion of said tab thickness in a direction perpendicular to said central axis;
- whereby said recess area is less than an area of said conical surface area outside of said recess area;
- and
- whereby said at least one recess forms one of a right handed tapered helical cut, a left handed tapered helical cut, or a combination of right handed and left handed tapered helical cuts in said conical surface.
