A windshield repair device for repairing imperfections, in the form of bull\s eyes, chips or cracks, induced by road hazards. The device comprises a first vacuum device for repairing relatively large imperfections, a second vacuum device for repairing relatively small imperfections adjacent the windshield periphery, and a platen to secure the second vacuum device to the windshield. The first vacuum device evacuates a relatively large area over a chip or crack and injects ultra-violet light-settable polymer resins into the evacuated imperfection. The second vacuum device is essentially the inner portion of the first vacuum device and is capable of evacuating a much smaller area. The second vacuum device is primarily useful either at the periphery of the windshield, or on areas of windshields having a high degree of curvature. The platen assists in holding the second vacuum device to the windshield.

A windshield repair deice for repairing imperfections in glass windshields, comprising: a. a first vacuum device comprising: 1. an outer housing having a lower edge portion defining a larger evacuated area, said housing having an aperture therethrough; 2. an inner housing within said outer housing and having a lower edge portion defining a smaller evacuated area, said inner housing having an aperture therethrough; 3. a first gasket adapted to seal said larger evacuated area from intrusion of air so as to form a vacuum therein; 4. a second gasket adapted to seal said smaller evacuated area from intrusion of air and produce a vacuum therein; 5. a plunger housing confined within said inner housing; 6. a plunger adapted to direct windshield repair fluid through said plunger housing such that said fluid is in contact with the imperfection in a glass windshield; 7. a vacuum source affixed to the aperture in said outer housing such that a vacuum is simultaneously drawn in the larger and smaller evacuated areas; b. a second vacuum device for repairing small imperfections about the periphery of a glass windshield, comprising: 1. an outer housing having an aperture therethrough for affixation to said vacuum source; 2. a plunger housing within the outer housing and having an aperture therethrough; 3. a plunger adapted to direct windshield repair fluid through said plunger housing to said windshield; 4. gasket means affixed to the lower edge of the outer housing and the plunger housing, such that the plunger housing defines an evacuated area adjacent the imperfection in the windshield; c. platen means to which said first and second vacuum devices can be attached, thereby insuring proper sealing engagement between said devices and said windshield.
