  • Patent number: 4975037
    Abstract: A device for injecting a liquid repair material into a crack in glass such as a windshield has a central body portion including a rigid frame that is supported by three legs in a triangular configuration. A suction cup with a single adjustment knob holds the device against the windshield. One of the legs is an injector assembly comprising a cylinder and pressure screw assembly. Vacuum is applied to the cylinder by a nipple through the cylinder sidewall. An O-ring at the bottom of the cylinder sidewall seals between the bottom of the cylinder sidewall and the windshield. The pressure screw assembly includes a piston slidable within the internal passage. The lower end of the piston includes a seal for sealing engagement with the sidewall. In the preferred embodiment the piston seal is a sealing cap completely covering the bottom end of the piston and completely blocking the passage and sealing against said sidewall.
