A window is provided to include a glass substrate, an adhesive layer on the glass substrate, a polymer layer between the glass substrate and the adhesive layer, the polymer layer having a surface adjacent to the adhesive layer, the surface being hydrophilic at a first temperature and being hydrophobic at a second temperature higher than the first temperature, and a protective layer on the adhesive layer. Thereby, when the protective layer is damaged, only the protective layer may be replaced without replacing a glass substrate.

A portable glass repair kit system and method, more particularly, for windshield repair for laminated glass and the like to provide an easy to use, highly portable, and economical glass repair kit. The glass repair kit does not require specialized equipment such as an injector, plugger device, suction cups, or require any additional tools or specialized knowledge of how to use the repair kit. The glass repair kit contains a resin which may be urged by a user through slight pressure after the glass repair kit is adhered over an impact point and any cracks thereby repairing a windshield in a more cost effective, time efficient, and user friendly way.

A self-healing glass panel includes first and second glass layers, a reservoir between the first and second glass layers, and a liquid healing agent for healing the first or second glass layers if a crack occurs. The liquid healing agent is entrapped in the reservoir by at least one of the first or second glass layers.

A glazing panel repair device (1) has coupling means (27) for coupling a pump arrangement (22) to the device to provide holding suction to secure the device to the glazing panel and pressure cycling to a repair zone. In one embodiment the coupling means is for coupling a single pump to provide holding suction to secure the device to the glazing panel and pressure cycling to a repair zone.

Methods systems and apparatuses for reducing or substantially eliminating distortion in a transparent substrate in situ are disclosed.

The embodiments herein disclose a kit for emergency repair of broken window of automobiles. The kit comprises the a clear 20 gauge vinyl, a crystal clear gorilla tape, a double sided clear mounting strips, latex glove and dry erase pen. Following are the steps followed for repairing the broken window screen or wind shields of automobiles. The outer edge of window is wiped clean or dirt, grit and moisture before installation. The latex glove is worn. The double sided mounting tape is applied around the edge of the window being repaired. The gauge vinyl is placed across window area. The dry erase marker is used to outline the window and create line to cut the excess gauge vinyl. The excess gauge vinyl is trimmed, the crystal clear tape is applied to seal outer edge of gauge vinyl with the outer edge of the window.

A device for repairing a damaged spot in a repair area of a glass pane includes an attachment portion, a repair portion, an excitation device and a control device. The attachment portion is configured to be releasably attached to a main surface of the glass pane. The repair portion is configured to repair the glass pane. The excitation device is configured to produce a periodic mechanical excitation and to couple the periodic mechanical excitation into the glass pane. The control device is configured to control the periodic mechanical excitation.

Methods systems and apparatuses for reducing or substantially eliminating distortion in a transparent substrate in situ are disclosed.

A method for repairing damage to a composite part includes creating an aperture through the composite part and preparing the surfaces surrounding the aperture on both sides of the part; inserting a plurality of resin impregnated fibers through the aperture and spreading the end portions of the plurality of fibers radially against the prepared surfaces on both sides of the part; and maintaining contact of the plurality of fibers with the prepared surfaces while the resin cures.

A vacuum repairing tool for a crack/seam on surface of an object includes an injector for extracting air and injecting glue, and a sticky pad for fixing on an object surface. A perfusion repairing area corresponding to the crack/seam and glue applying areas for applying glue are arranged on the bottom surface of the sticky pad, and the glue applying areas are on the outer sides of the perfusion repairing area. The injector is provided with a needle. The invention can forcibly perfuse the repairing liquid into the crack/seam by external force in the vacuum state, so as to ensure the sufficient and uniform perfusion of repairing liquid without blind space, it even isolates the contact of the glued space with the outside to realize the genuine dust-free operation, thus it solves the long-existing universal difficulty that the crack/seam on surface of object can't be fully and seamlessly repaired.
