Abstract
A glazing panel repair device (1) has coupling means (27) for coupling a pump arrangement (22) to the device to provide holding suction to secure the device to the glazing panel and presume cycling to a repair zone. In one embodiment the coupling means is for coupling a single pump to provide holding suction to secure the device to the glazing panel and pressure cycling to a repair zone.
Claims27
A glazing panel repair device, the device comprising coupling means for coupling a pump arrangement to the device to provide:
- i) holding suction to secure the device to the glazing panel;
- and
- ii) pressure cycling to a repair zone.
A glazing panel repair system comprising:
- a pump arrangement;
- and
- a device comprising coupling means for coupling the pump arrangement to the device to provide:
- i) holding suction to secure the device to the glazing panel;
- and ii) pressure cycling to a repair zone.
A method of repairing glazing panel damage, wherein a pump arrangement is used to both:
- i) provide suction to secure a repair device to the glazing panel;
- and ii) provide pressure cycling via the device at a repair zone.
A glazing panel repair device, the device comprising coupling means for coupling a pump arrangement, and a fluid flow path communicating between the coupling means and a securing zone to apply suction to secure the device to the glazing panel and wherein a one way check valve is provided to hold vacuum at the securing zone;
- the vacuum being released by actuation of a separate relief valve provided on board the device, and wherein the device is provided with means for providing positive pressure and/or vacuum (suction) at a repair zone.
A method of repairing glazing panel damage, wherein a powered pneumatic pump arrangement is used to provide pressure cycling (positive pressure alternating with vacuum suction) via a repair device secured to the glazing panel at a repair zone.
