Abstract
A portable glass repair kit system and method, more particularly, for windshield repair for laminated glass and the like to provide an easy to use, highly portable, and economical glass repair kit. The glass repair kit does not require specialized equipment such as an injector, plugger device, suction cups, or require any additional tools or specialized knowledge of how to use the repair kit. The glass repair kit contains a resin which may be urged by a user through slight pressure after the glass repair kit is adhered over an impact point and any cracks thereby repairing a windshield in a more cost effective, time efficient, and user friendly way.
Claims21
A glass repair kit to repair an impact point in safety glass, comprising:
- a housing, said housing comprising a top surface and a bottom surface whereby in operation after placement of said housing on said safety glass then said bottom surface is adjacent said safety glass and said top surface is distal said safety glass;
- an adhesive operable to adhere said bottom surface to said safety glass;
- a pocket formed in said housing for placement adjacent said safety glass to permit resin to flow from said pocket to said safety glass, said adhesive being positioned on said bottom surface entirely around said pocket whereby when said adhesive is adhered to said safety glass and said bottom surface then a seal is formed between said housing and said safety glass around said pocket, whereby compression of said pocket urges said resin into said impact point in said safety glass during operation of said glass repair kit, said resin being operable to flow into said impact point and cure in response to UV light;
- and
- a UV shield for said pocket, said UV shield being operable to block transmission of UV light to said resin within said pocket.
A glass repair kit to repair an impact point in safety glass, comprising:
- a housing, said housing comprising a top surface and a bottom surface whereby in operation after placement of said housing on said safety glass then said bottom surface is adjacent said safety glass and said top surface is distal said safety glass;
- a means to secure said bottom surface to said safety glass;
- a pocket comprising resin stored therein, said pocket being positioned to permit said resin to flow from said pocket to said safety glass, said means to secure being positioned on said bottom surface entirely around said pocket whereby when said means to secure is secured to said safety glass, whereby compression of said pocket urges said resin into said impact point in said safety glass during operation of said glass repair kit, said resin being operable to flow into said impact point and cure in response to UV light;
- and
- a UV shield for said pocket, said UV shield being operable to block transmission of UV light to said resin within said pocket.

- and
- a UV shield, said UV shield being operable to block transmission of UV light to said resin.
