An apparatus to aid in applying a screen protector to the display of a mobile electronic device such as a smartphone. The apparatus in some embodiments is a wedge or ramp that is placed between the display and the screen protector to support a portion of the screen protector above the display. The user may withdraw or move the wedge or ramp and tip the screen protector onto the display. The wedge or ramp may have a plurality of profiles or surfaces on which the screen protector rides as the wedge is moved, the profiles or slope of the surface aiding in controlling the rate at which the screen protector descends onto the display. The apparatus may also include a frame to go about the perimeter of the mobile device to aid in positioning the screen protector. The frame may include alignment aids and absorbent material about the perimeter of the mobile device.

An apparatus for applying screen protection to electronic gadgets is disclosed wherein a quick locking mechanism secures the electronic gadget in a fixed place with a plurality of paddings provided on both sides of the phone. A slider is provided to adjust to different sizes of the phone in order to quickly fit any available device and a cavity allows for back cameras or any portion of the phone protruding to sink in and allow the phone to always be at level for application of the screen protection. The cavity in a base plate of the apparatus is exchangeable to fit for any phone model with different protruding cameras and portions. A process is also disclosed wherein the phone is secured to the apparatus by the lock lever and release mechanism, a transfer tape is applied onto the screen protector; then backing paper is removed. A blank is aligned over the smartphone or tablet being secured to the apparatus, then the tape is swiped over to adhere to the protector and finally tape is removed.

A machine can include a base including a first cradle. The first cradle can include a device slot being configured to securely hold a first electronic device. The machine also can include an alignment piece hingedly attached to the base at a hinge. The alignment piece can include an alignment base configured to engage with an alignment mechanism of an overlay applicator. The machine additionally can include a pulling piece movably attached to the base. The pulling piece can be configured to remove an adhesive release liner of the overlay applicator to expose an adhesive agent of an overlay of the overlay applicator when the alignment piece is rotated relative to the base around the hinge from a first alignment piece position to a second alignment piece position. Other embodiments are described.

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 roller device may include a carriage or housing and one or more rollers coupled or integrated with the housing, configured to apply a protective material to a surface of the electronic device in a first orientation, and configured to function as a device stand in a second orientation. In addition or alternatively, a roller guide apparatus and/or a wedge may be utilized to assist the roller device in applying the protective material to the surface of the electronic device.

A film-applying device and method for 3D glass with two opposite curved edges. The film-applying device comprises: an upper base for fixing a film; a lower base for fixing the 3D glass; a roller structure for rotating a rotary cylinder of the upper base; and a lifting cylinder for moving the upper base, the rotary cylinder, and the roller structure up and down and making the roller structure apply a pressure to press-fit the 3D glass and the film. The roller structure comprises a lower roller and an upper press roller; the rotary cylinder is used for rotating the upper base to change or fix the relative position of the upper base and the roller structure. The device has a simplified structure. The device and method are suitable for applying a film to 3D glass with two opposite curved edges due to convenient operations, high film-applying precision and efficiency.

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a curved surface shell of an electronic device, which comprises the steps of preparing a translucent base shell having a decorative film; fixed-point hot pressing the decorative film to attach and position the decorative film on an inner surface of the translucent base shell; placing the translucent base shell in a vacuum sealed space to tightly bonding the decorative film to the translucent base shell; and hydraulic pressing the decorative film by high pressure and high temperature so as to be smoothly bonded to the inner surface of the translucent base shell in a liquid solvent.

An apparatus including an overlay with a top side and a bottom side. The apparatus also can include an adhesive component with a top side and a bottom side. The top side of the adhesive component can be adhered to the bottom side of the overlay. The adhesive component can be configured to adhere the bottom side of the overlay to a screen of an electronic device in a single-use application of the overlay by adhering the bottom side of the adhesive component to the screen of the electronic device. The apparatus can be configured such that, when the overlay is removed from being adhered to the screen of the electronic device after the single-use application of the overlay, at least a portion of the adhesive component is detached from at least a portion of the overlay. Other embodiments are provided.

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.

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.
