Patent number: 7144312Abstract: A system for removing scratches from glass windows, windshields and the like utilizing a compound applied to a powered polishing disk/pad which effectively “scrubs” away the scratches. Liquid needs to be applied during the process. To enable the operator to use both hands to maneuver the tool while also controlling the liquid application procedure, a hand piece is mounted to the tool which functions both as a second handle for the operator and also places a finger/thumb actuated liquid spray control accessible to the operator. A nozzle connected to the control and receiving liquid from the control is mounted for directing spray onto the glass surface outboard of the periphery of the pad.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2004Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: Glas-Weld Systems, Inc.Inventor: Michael P. Boyle

Patent number: 6898372Abstract: The invention includes an apparatus for curing resin in glass. The lamp system includes a light bulb, where the light bulb has a substantially annular shape configured to accommodate a resin injection system. The apparatus also includes a bulb housing having a substantially annular shape that substantially corresponds to the shape of the light bulb to facilitate accommodation of the light bulb within the bulb housing. The bulb housing has a hole, proximately at a center of the substantially annular shape of the bulb housing, configured to accommodate the resin injection system. As a result, the light bulb and the bulb housing surrounding the resin injection system in a relatively tight diameter, thereby facilitating uniform curing of the resin.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2003Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: Glas-Weld Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael P. Boyle, Randy L. Mackey

Patent number: 5670180Abstract: A convertible repair device arranged to repair bulls-eye type cracks and elongate cracks in a laminated glass. The device has a stepped housing that has a large cylinder and a small cylinder. A piston is mounted in the housing and is movable in the cylinders. A mouth formed in the small cylinder is arranged to receive the filler material. The device is arranged to withdraw air from the bulls-eye type crack by moving the piston upward. When the air is withdrawn the piston is moved downward and the filler material flows into the crack. The piston has a thread form on its upper portion and a plunger projected into the thread form provides controlled movement of the piston without imparting a force on the surface of the laminated glass which is beneficial for filling elongate cracks.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1996Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: Glas-Weld Systems, Inc.Inventors: Randy L. Mackey, Robert A. Beveridge
