Abstract
A kit for repairing a windshield break utilizing a light activated resin includes a light impervious pedestal and resin chamber with the pedestal being placed in airtight engagement about a windshield break. The kit also includes a syringe which is couplable to an opening in the chamber. The light activated resin is carried in a light impervious container having a neck dimensioned to deposit the resin directly into the chamber before the syringe is coupled to the chamber. The kit additionally includes a light transmissive film to cover the resin filled break during curing of the resin and a light impervious patch for covering the opposite face of the windshield.

In a kit for effecting a windshield repair, the kit comprising a pedestal for airtight emplacement on one face of the windshield, about a windshield break in need of repair, a chamber in fluid tight communication with the pedestal and a syringe in selective fluid tight communication with an opening in the chamber, the improvement comprising;
- the pedestal and the chamber being light impervious, the chamber having a capacity to carry a low viscosity light activated resin sufficient to complete the repair, a light impervious container carrying a sufficient volume of low viscosity light activated resin to complete the repair, the container having a neck dimensioned to deposit the low viscosity light activated resin directly into the chamber through the opening and a light impervious patch adapted to cover the opposite face of the windshield in registration with the break to preclude premature activation of the resin.
A method of effecting a repair of a break in a windshield, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) placing a light impervious pedestal in airtight engagement about a break on one face of the windshield,
- b) providing a light impervious chamber in fluid tight communication with the pedestal,
- c) providing a quantity of light activated resin within a light impervious container having a neck,
- d) providing a light impervious patch,
- e) discharging a quantity of light activated resin from the container through the neck and directly into the chamber,
- f) coupling a source of vacuum to the chamber to evacuate air from the break,
- g) filling the break with the light activated resin carried in the chamber, and
- h) applying the light impervious patch to the opposite face of the windshield in registration with the break prior to practicing step e) or g).
