The present invention discloses a packaging box of a covering film and a film applicator. By structural designs of the packaging box and the covering film, the packaging box is provided with an internal cavity matching an outer shape of an electronic device and the covering film includes a release film having an extension portion, enabling the packaging box to provide the covering film with storage, dustproof and shock-absorbing functions and to further serve as a film application auxiliary tool when a film application process is performed. Thus, a user is allowed to accurately, quickly and efficiently form a layer providing protection on a surface of the electronic device directly by using the packaging box.

A device for installing a screen protector to an electronic device that includes a screen protector unit having a release film, a screen protector, and a protection film wherein the release film has a release tab, the protection film has at least one protection tab where the protection tab includes a hole formed therein; a tray having a panel, at least one alignment protrusion that fits the hole, a guide hole to allow external pressure to be applied onto the screen protector unit when the screen protector unit and the electronic device are received in the tray; and an adhesive strip, via the guide hole, further secures the screen protector unit to the tray. Also included is a method to using the device to install the screen protector to the screen of the electronic device.

A mobile phone screen protector device includes a positioning seat, a positioning frame, an auxiliary adhesive sheet, a screen protector, and a scraper. The positioning seat has a first raised portion, a second raised portion, and a positioning space between the first and second raised portions for accommodating a mobile phone with a screen facing upward. The first raised portion is higher than the second raised portion. The auxiliary adhesive sheet is adhered to an underside of the positioning frame. The screen protector is adhered to an underside of the auxiliary adhesive sheet. The positioning frame and the auxiliary adhesive sheet are confined to the tops of the first and second raised portions, and the screen protector is inclined at an angle relative to the screen. The scraper is pressed to scrape against the auxiliary adhesive sheet for the screen protector to be adhered to the screen.

A screen protector installation machine uses a screen protector laminate to apply a screen protector to a cell phone. The laminate comprise a web that carries the screen protector and a backing layer. The laminate is carried by a lid coupled to a base and closable over the base. An impression in the base receives the cell phone. A first slider is carried by the lid and comprises a spool rotatable with respect to the lid. A tab of the backing layer is coupled to the spool. As the slider slides over the cell phone, the spool rotates to wind the backing layer around the spool to expose the screen protector. The lid properly positions and orients the screen protector over the mobile device. The lid is automatically lowered onto the base, and the screen protector is automatically lowered onto the mobile device, by movement of the first slider after the backing layer is removed.

Systems and methods for applying a protective layer to an outer surface of a mobile device. A system may include a protective layer for an outer surface of a mobile device and an alignment layer coupled to the protective layer. A frame may define a cavity configured to receive the mobile device. The frame may include a surface positioned outside of the cavity and configured to support the alignment layer and configured to be depressed relative to the mobile device to reduce a distance between the protective layer and the outer surface of the mobile device when the mobile device is positioned in the cavity.

A system and method for separating a layer from a layer assembly when the layer assembly includes a backing layer and a material layer. The system includes an automated machine having a controller and an end effector. A separating tool is attached to the end effector of the automated machine. The separating tool includes a displacing member, with an outer face, configured to establish a void between the backing layer and the material layer by displacing a portion of the backing layer. The separating layer also includes a securing member configured to establish a mechanical connection with a displaced portion of the backing layer.

An elevator maintenance kit is provided for surfacing an elevator sheave that engages with an elevator tension member. The kit includes a substrate with an adhesive backing, and a substrate applicator that is operable to apply the substrate to the sheave as the sheave is rotated. The adhesive backing is operable to attach the substrate to the sheave during the sheave rotation.

A thermal transfer apparatus includes a controller to control a transfer tool and a pressing body conveyor. The controller controls the pressing body conveyor to press a predetermined region of a transfer object, and controls the transfer tool and the pressing body conveyor to press at least a portion of thermal transfer foil placed on the predetermined region pressed by the transfer tool and a light absorption film having a light absorption property and placed on the thermal transfer foil and to apply light to the light absorption film.
