Abstract: A device and method for expediting the repair of laminated automobile glass, comprising a supporting bridge removably mountable to a windshield surface over a damaged area, with a receptacle for receiving an injector or dispenser for UV curable repair resin, and guide means between said bridge and dispenser comprised of a guide pin and a guide groove with linear and helical portions. The resin dispenser can be quickly aligned, inserted into place and sealed against the windshield with only a partial twist. The dispenser includes a manually operable plunger which partially defines an expandable chamber to hold UV curable repair resin and provide a means of controllably applying vacuum or pressure to the resin and damaged cavity, valve means to allow selectable control of air to be released from or allowed into said chamber to facilitate creation and application of vacuum or pressure, further including means to lock the plunger in multiple selectable positions to maintain applied vacuum or pressure.

Abstract: A windshield repair device includes a bridge, an injector attached to the bridge and at least one UV, e.g., light emitting diode (LED), light source attached to the bridge or integrated into bridge or the injector to provide UV light within or around the injector. The UV, e.g., LED, light source can also be attached to an existing windshield repair device having a bridge and an injector attached to the bridge, so as to retrofit an existing windshield repair device to provide UV light within or around the injector. A method for curing resin provided in a crack in a windshield can be carried out by exposing the resin to UV light from at least one UV LED light source.
