Patent number: 7381355Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for repairing a flaw in a surface, particularly in the field of vehicle glass repair. The apparatus has a housing adapted to engage the surface to be repaired, a repair seal for sealing between the housing and around the flaw to be repaired to define a repair space over the flaw. A reservoir communicates with the repair space and, in use, contains liquid repair material. A vacuum pump communicates with the repair space and the reservoir to apply a partial vacuum to the repair space and to the reservoir without repair liquid from the reservoir being drawn into the repair space in order to degas separately the flaw and repair liquid in the reservoir. After appropriate degassing, repair liquid from the reservoir is caused to flow into the repair space to fill the repair space with repair liquid.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2004Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Carglass Luxembourg S.A.R.L.-Zug BranchInventors: Philip Rawlins, Douglas Scott MacArthur, Robert Ian Lister, Graham Scott Gutsell

Patent number: 6656541Abstract: An apparatus for repairing a crack in a vehicle windshield includes a high frequency vibration applicator and repair material. The high frequency vibration applicator includes a high frequency vibration generator, an elongate vibration delivery probe, and a handle grip for manipulation of the high frequency vibration applicator by a user. The vibration delivery probe delivers high frequency vibration from the generator to the windshield via a tip of the probe. A method of repairing a crack in a vehicle windshield includes infilling the crack with a repair material, applying to the windshield a tip of an elongate vibration delivery probe of a high frequency vibration applicator, and manipulating the high frequency vibration applicator to track the probe in a longitudinal direction of the crack.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2001Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Carglass Luxembourg S.A.R.L.-Zug BranchInventors: Mathew Derek Archer, Christopher Davies, Darren Bates
