Rupture sealing device

Abstract

A rupture sealing device including an anchor mechanism for being disposed through the rupture of a container and for interacting with an inside wall of the container in proximity to the rupture. The rupture sealing device further includes a substantially deformable sealing body for interacting in a sealing fashion with an outside wall of the container in proximity to the rupture. The sealing body has a pressure contact surface and extends a substantial distance therefrom. A pressure structure is in contact with the pressure contact surface of the sealing body for providing pressure acting on the sealing body. A fastening mechanism is connected to the anchor mechanism. The fastening mechanism includes a fastening structure for interacting with a respective fastening element connected to the pressure structure to provide the pressure acting on the sealing body.
