A windshield repair apparatus (10) is provided which includes a bridge (16) having a base member (20) including an injection holder (24) and a pivot support member (60) pivotally connected to the base member (20). A suction cup (70) is disposed for connection with the pivot support member (60) for mounting the bridge (16) to the windshield. A yoke (80) extends upward from the suction cup (70) to pivotally connect the suction cup (70) to the pivot support member (60) of the bridge (16). The yoke (80) includes at least two side members (84) which are adapted to receive the pivot support member (60) of the bridge (16) therebetween such that the bridge (16) is permitted to pivot vertically about a pivot axis toward and away from the windshield and wherein the side members (84) of the yoke (80) prevent the pivot support member (60) from rotating in a horizontal orientation substantially parallel to the windshield. The bridge (16) includes a registration system engageable with the pivotally mounted base of the bridge (16) for retaining the base member of the bridge (16) in the original position and for selectively permitting rotation of the base member (20) of the bridge (16) from the original position to a rotated position upon the manual retraction of the registration system by the user to release the base member (20) from connection with the pivot support member (60). The registration system includes a locking pin disposed within a base member (20) of the bridge (16) and biased for engagement with a corresponding locking cavity formed in the pivot support member (60).

L'invention concerne un appareil de réparation de pare-brise (10) constitué d'un étrier (16) comportant un élément de base (20) qui contient un support d'injection (24) et un élément support pivot (60) connecté de manière pivotante à l'élément de base (20). Une ventouse (70), en connexion avec l'élément support pivot (60) permet de monter l'étrier (16) sur le pare-brise. Une fourche (80) s'étend vers le haut depuis la ventouse (70) afin de connecter de manière pivotante la ventouse (70) à l'élément support pivot (60) de l'étrier (16). La fourche (80) est constituée d'au moins deux éléments latéraux (84) conçus pour recevoir entre eux l'élément support pivot (60) de l'étrier (16) de telle façon que l'étrier (16) puisse pivoter verticalement autour d'un axe de pivot dans un mouvement de rapprochement ou d'éloignement du pare-brise, les éléments latéraux (84) de la fourche (80) empêchant l'élément support pivot (60) de tourner dans un sens horizontal sensiblement parallèle au pare-brise. L'étrier (16) comprend un système de calage qui peut s'engager avec la base pivotante de l'étrier (16) afin de retenir l'élément de base de l'étrier (16) dans la position d'origine et permettre une rotation sélective de l'élément de base (20) de l'étrier (16) à partir de la position d'origine vers une position tournée, lors de la rétraction manuelle du système de calage réalisé par l'opérateur, afin de libérer l'élément de base (20) de sa connexion avec l'élément support pivot (60). Le système de calage comprend une tige de verrouillage placée dans l'élément de base (20) de l'étrier (16), sollicitée à s'engager avec une cavité de verrouillage correspondante formée dans l'élément support pivot (60).
