An apparatus for repairing breaks in safety glass, such as that found on automotive windshields, includes a self-contained, small fixture which can be secured to the windshield and centered on the break. The fixture includes connections for applying a vacuum source for evacuating the break, and for connecting a self-contained and self-supported measured quantity of resin to the fixture so the resin will enter the break while the break remains under a vacuum. The introduction of the resin into the break is thus enhanced, because the break is under vacuum. When vacuum is released, pressure may be applied to the resin to force it into the break to completely fill the break and provide for a visually acceptable repair. Curing of resins can then be carried out in a conventional manner.

A fixture for repairing breaks in a laminated glass pane, the fixture comprising a base housing having an opening on a surface thereof facing a glass on which the fixture is placed, a flange surrounding the opening and attached to the base housing, a reservoir coupled to the base housing, the base housing and reservoir defining a first passageway leading from a supply of repair resin in its liquid state in the reservoir to the opening in the base housing, and a second passageway joining the first passageway, mans to couple a source of vacuum to the second passageway, whereby when the vacuum is applied it acts through the opening and into a break over which the fixture is placed, and means for mounting the reservoir on the housing so that the reservoir is connected to the first and second passageways without causing substantial resin to move into the passageways, and means for selectively causing resin to flow into the first and second passageways, while the first and second passageways remain under vacuum.
