Abstract
Abstract An exterior building wall includes insulation injection holes filled by hole plugs. The hole plugs each include a disc-shaped circular outwardly convex head. Arcuate in transverse cross-section legs are radially inwardly offset from the outer peripheral edge of the head. The legs include a series of longitudinally outwardly tapering shoulders which form wall gripping and sealing teeth.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A hole plug for insulation injection holes in building walls comprising, a circular disc shaped head having a plurality of peripherally disposed transverse arcuate legs, radially inwardly offset from the outer edge of said head thereby forming a flange having a flat bottom surface and said head having a slightly convex outer surface to blend into a wall surface, said legs having adjacent straight longitudinal edges in spaced relation and including exterior surfaces having a series of annular shoulders tapered longitudinally away from said head thereby forming gripping teeth, said flange and the flat surface of said annular shoulder adjacent said flange forming an annular space therebetween and said flat bottom surface of said flange being parallel to said flat surface of said adjacent annular shoulder and the bottom surface of said annular space being perpendicular to said flat bottom surface of said flange and said flat surface of said adjacent annular shoulder.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
A hole plug for insulation injection holes in building walls comprising, a circular disc shaped head having a plurality of peripherally disposed transverse arcuate legs, radially inwardly offset from the outer edge of said head thereby forming a flange having a flat bottom surface and said head having a slightly convex outer surface to blend into a wall surface, said legs having adjacent straight longitudinal edges in spaced relation and including exterior surfaces having a series of annular shoulders tapered longitudinally away from said head thereby forming gripping teeth, said flange and the flat surface of said annular shoulder adjacent said flange forming an annular space therebetween and said flat bottom surface of said flange being parallel to said flat surface of said adjacent annular shoulder and the bottom surface of said annular space being perpendicular to said flat bottom surface of said flange and said flat surface of said adjacent annular shoulder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said circular disc-shaped head is tapered to the peripheral edge thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The structure of claim 2 wherein said plug is formed from plastic material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein the outermost annular edges of said shoulders lie in a common circular plane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The structure of claim 4 wherein the outermost annular shoulders are tapered to an annular sharp edge to facilitate penetration into a wall.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said legs include inner surfaces which cooperate to define a cylinder having an open outer end opposite said head.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said legs are perpendicular to said flat bottom surface of said flange.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein a substantial number of the outermost annular edges of said shoulders lie in a common circular plane.
