Abstract:
Current stripped hole repair devices operate by expanding to exert pressure against the inside of a hole into which the device is placed, and are by design suitable only for repairing a stripped or damaged hole in alignment with the original hole. Likewise, various methods exist that do not result in a smooth surface into which a new hole can be drilled. In most cases, these methods are non-permanent, temporary, non-weight-bearing devices that inadequately address the problem. The solution provided comprises a solid plastic insert with segments that break off at a desired length, into which a new hole may be drilled and a screw inserted. The method for installing the apparatus utilizes an adhesive that bonds to the medium into which it is installed. The disclosure describes a simplified and practical method to repair a stripped screw hole, and an apparatus that can be manufactured and made commercially available.

Claim (Index 9):
The insert of  claim 8 , wherein the segment adjacent the first end is longer along the longitudinal axis than each remaining segment individually, and the segment adjacent the first end is shorter along the longitudinal axis than the remaining segments collectively.
