Abstract:
A water closet flange repair or reinforcement device has an upper portion of an arcuate shape of less than or equal to a semi-circle, with an outer circumference and an inner circumference; a lower portion substantially parallel to the upper portion, having an outer circumference equal to the outer circumference of the upper portion; a side portion along the outer circumferences of the upper and lower portions, defining a squared C-shaped channel between the top, side, and bottom portions of a pre-determined interior height to receive a water closet flange; and bendable tabs extending from the inner circumference on the upper portion, each tab having a first position co-planar with the upper portion and having a second bent position providing a mechanical retention within an inside volume of a water closet flange captured within the C-shaped channel.

Claim (Index 3):
The water closet flange repair or reinforcement device as set forth in  claim 2  wherein one or more of the tabs further comprise a grub screw which, when advanced through the tab, makes contact with the captured water closet flange, thereby providing additional mechanical retention and reducing radial movement of the device around the captured water closet flange.
