A glass repair tool for injecting resin into defects in glass is provided, having a mount which is removably engageable to the glass and which is in a sliding ratcheted engagement with a resin injector. This ratcheted engagement allows translation of the injector quickly to a contact with the glass to position it for resin injection into the defect. Stretching suction cups and a compressible seal prevent excess force from being imparted to the glass during the contact of the injector with the glass.

Windshield and laminated glass repair tool

Resin injector

An apparatus for uniformly curing resin is described herein. The apparatus includes at least a lamp system that is to emit ultraviolet ('UV') light. The lamp system is to emit the UV light from a light-emitting diode ('LED') light source, which is to be energized and controlled by an electrical circuit. The electrical circuit may be provided as part of a circuit board which has power delivered thereto from a power cord. The lamp system can further include a handle having an attachment device so that the lamp system may be securely engaged with a glass surface. The lamp system may be adapted to be coupled with a resin injection system. When engaged with the resin injection system, the lamp system can deliver UV light to the injected resin so that the injected resin may be quickly and uniformly cured.

Lamp system for curing resin in laminated safety glass

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for repairing of abnormalities such as cracks and/or breaks in substrates such as glass and/or plastics.

Windshield repair

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatuses for testing the structural integrity of glass. Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for testing glass by applying one or more stresses to the glass in a controlled manner. Embodiments of the invention may hold a sheet of glass and may subject the glass to a variety of stresses by flexing, twisting, vibrating, etc.

Glass testing apparatus

The invention includes an apparatus for curing resin in glass. The lamp system includes a light bulb, where the light bulb has a substantially annular shape configured to accommodate a resin injection system. The apparatus also includes a bulb housing having a substantially annular shape that substantially corresponds to the shape of the light bulb to facilitate accommodation of the light bulb within the bulb housing. The bulb housing has a hole, proximately at a center of the substantially annular shape of the bulb housing, configured to accommodate the resin injection system. As a result, the light bulb and the bulb housing surrounding the resin injection system in a relatively tight diameter, thereby facilitating uniform curing of the resin.

Lamp system for curing resin in glass

A convertible repair device arranged to repair bulls-eye type cracks and elongate cracks in a laminated glass. The device has a stepped housing that has a large cylinder and a small cylinder. A piston is mounted in the housing and is movable in the cylinders. A mouth formed in the small cylinder is arranged to receive the filler material. The device is arranged to withdraw air from the bulls-eye type crack by moving the piston upward. When the air is withdrawn the piston is moved downward and the filler material flows into the crack. The piston has a thread form on its upper portion and a plunger projected into the thread form provides controlled movement of the piston without imparting a force on the surface of the laminated glass which is beneficial for filling elongate cracks.
