Abstract
A clamp saddle for attachment to a pipe clamp that allows the clamp to be used for plugging leaks in different diameters of pipe is disclosed. The clamp saddle includes a semi-circular main body that is conformed to a specific pipe diameter. An attachment mechanism on the main body that interchangeably connects to an arm of a clamp. A different diameter clamp saddle may replace the initial saddle to allow the clamp to be used for a different diameter pipe.

A clamp saddle for attachment to a pipe clamp, the clamp saddle comprising:
- a semi-circular main body that is conformed to a specific pipe diameter;
- and
- an attachment mechanism on the main body that interchangeably connects to an arm of a clamp.
A clamp for plugging a pipe leak, the clamp comprising:
- a first arm having a first end;
- a first saddle including a semi-circular main body that is conformed to a specific pipe diameter;
- and an attachment mechanism on the main body that attaches to the first end of the first arm;
- a second arm having a second end;
- and
- a second saddle including a semi-circular main body that is conformed to the specific pipe diameter;
- and an attachment mechanism on the main body that attaches to the second end of the second arm.
A kit for patching pipes of different diameters, the kit comprising:
- a first set of saddles, each of the saddles including a semi-circular main body that is conformed to a specific first pipe diameter;
- and an attachment mechanism on the main body that attaches to an end of an arm of a clamp;
- and
- a second set of saddles, each of the saddles including a semi-circular main body that is conformed to a specific second pipe diameter;
- and an attachment mechanism on the main body that attaches to the end of the arm of the clamp.
