ABSTRACT

A windshield repair device for repairing imperfections, in the form of
bull's eyes, chips or cracks, induced by road hazards. The device
comprises a first vacuum device for repairing relatively large imperfections,
a second vacuum device for repairing relatively small imperfections adjacent
the windshield periphery, and a platen to secure the second vacuum device to
the windshield. The first vacuum device evacuates a relatively large area over
a chip or crack and injects ultra-violet light-settable polymer resins into
the evacuated imperfection. The second vacuum device is essentially the inner
portion of the first vacuum device and is capable of evacuating a much smaller
area. The second vacuum device is primarily useful either at the periphery of
the windshield, or on areas of windshields having a high degree of curvature.
The platen assists in holding the second vacuum device to the windshield.
