A portable film application apparatus includes a base, a positioning seat, a film holder, a conveyor and a film detaching device, wherein a positioning station and a film sticking station are provided on two sides of the base, respectively. The positioning seat is disposed at an end of the positioning station to lock the position of an electronic device. The film holder is disposed at an end of the film sticking station to lock the position of a film. The conveyor slides the positioning seat alternately between the positioning station and the film sticking station to match the electronic device with a membrane. The film detaching device is disposed at an end of the film sticking station to separate a release layer from the membrane.

A method for manufacturing thin, multi-bend optics includes placing an optical substrate and a protective sheet into a compression mold and closing the compression mold to deform the optical substrate and to deform the protective sheet. The optical substrate can include an optical surface and the protective sheet can be disposed between the compression mold and the optical surface of the optical substrate. The compression mold can include a mold contact surface that is characterized by a surface roughness. The compression mold can be held in a closed position for a compression time period, during which, the protective sheet contacts the mold contact surface and provides a buffer layer between the mold contact surface and the optical surface thereby mitigating against transfer of the surface roughness of the mold contact surface onto the optical surface.

A process for arranging a protective sheath on a drug-coated balloon catheter in a machine. The protective sheath is transported via a transport system into a holding device. A drug coated area of the balloon catheter from contact with the machine. The protective sheath is arranged on a drug-coated area of the balloon catheter by machine relative motion between the balloon catheter and the protective sheath. The protecting can be placing at least one first and one second flexible film between the balloon catheter and a guide of the machine during the relative motion or can be holding the balloon catheter at a position on the catheter away from the drug-coated area during the relative motion.

Devices, methods and systems disclosed herein relate to the application of a protective film on a surface of an electronic device that instantly reduces air bubbles and eliminates the waiting time usually required when using a wet fluid solution. In one embodiment, a flange may be configured to couple to the protective film. The flange may aid in the accurate application of the protective film to the electronic device.

A method of manufacturing a length of lined pipe comprises inserting a radially-contracted liner pipe into an outer host pipe. Injector needles are inserted through an end of the outer pipe into an annular gap between the pipes. Adhesive is injected between the pipes at locations inboard of the end of the outer pipe. After withdrawing the injectors, at least a portion of the liner pipe is expanded to close the gap and to bond the pipes together via the injected adhesive. Shims may be inserted into the gap between the pipes. A portion of the liner pipe inboard of the shims may be expanded radially while the shims constrain local radial expansion of an outboard portion of the liner pipe to maintain the gap for accommodating the injectors. Withdrawing the shims after injecting the adhesive allows radial expansion of the outboard portion to close the gap between the pipes.

The subject of the invention relates to a laminating method consisting: in disposing in series on the horizontal path of a first face of the part, several first application units (Ua1, Ua2, . . . ) and in series on the horizontal path of the second face of the part, several second application units (Ub1, Ub2, . . . ) each positioned facing a first application unit located on the first face; in placing the first application units (Ua1, Ua2, . . . ) and the second application units (Ub1, Ub2, . . . ) in different vertical positions such that the combined application with overlapping of the protective films on each of the faces of the part corresponds to the height to be covered by the films; in applying, using the first application units and the second application units, the protective films respectively to the first face and to the second face of the part, starting from the front border of the surface to be covered; and in successively cutting out as a function of the horizontal path of the part the protective films at the level of the rear border of the surface.

The invention relates to an industrial machine for vertically applying temporary or permanent protective films on plane surfaces and having an automatic system for cutting the film, positioning it edge-to-edge or with a margin (in particular in the context of film-coating sheets of glass for the purposes of glazing any window frames without damaging the temporary protection; the glass being film-coated while leaving a setback) by acting simultaneously on both faces and adapting automatically to changes in the format of the parts for treatment, using an electrostatic method for holding the film in position on the applicator roller.

A spectacle lens blank has an optically finished surface and a cylinder edge surface, and a protective film applied on the optically finished surface. The protective film is also arranged on the cylinder edge surface. A method for producing a spectacle lens from a spectacle lens blank having an optically finished surface and a cylinder edge surface, in which a protective film is applied onto the optically finished surface is also disclosed. Procedurally, the protective film is also applied onto the cylinder edge surface. Lastly, a device for producing a spectacle lens from a spectacle lens blank having an optically finished surface and a cylinder edge surface is disclosed, in which a protective film is applied onto the optically finished surface. An application unit for applying the protective film onto the cylinder edge surface is also disclosed.
