Disclosed are a film pasting method and apparatus. The method includes: providing a protective film sheet, an electronic device and a push mechanism; aligning the protective film sheet with a screen; moving the push mechanism from a first side to a second side so as to sequentially paste the protective film sheet on the screen correspondingly. During a process of film pasting, an area where the protective film sheet is pasted with the screen defines a contact boundary proximate to the second side, the protective film sheet enters an exhaust state when the contact boundary moves, a contact angle is formed between a connection face which is formed by the contact boundary and the second side, and the screen, the contact angle gradually decreases along a moving direction of the contact boundary.

A method of forming a transparent member according to an embodiment may include: a process of putting a first transparent substrate and a second transparent substrate into a first cavity of a lower mold that has a first depth and a second cavity of a lower mold that is connected to the first cavity and has a second depth, respectively; a process of disposing an upper mold, which corresponds to the lower mold and includes a pressing portion having at least one pressing surface, on an upper portion of the lower mold; a process of preheating at least one of the lower mold in which the transparent substrates are disposed or the upper mold to a predetermined temperature; and a process of thermoforming the preheated transparent substrates by pressing the preheated transparent substrates in a manner of pressing the upper mold. Various other embodiments identified through the specification are possible.

The present disclosure provides a wired composite process mobile phone case manufacturing method, including following steps: A. cutting raw material sheets according to a preset size, and cleaning and drying the raw material sheets; B. positioning the raw material sheets on a curing device, coating optical Ultraviolet Rays (UV) glue on the raw material sheets, placing wired materials on surfaces of the raw material sheets coated with the optical UV glue, then coating the optical UV glue on surfaces of the wired materials, and laying the raw material sheets on the surfaces of the wired materials; C. curing the optical UV glue to obtain a semi-finished product of a mobile phone case; and D. injection molding the semi-finished product of the mobile phone case to obtain a finished product of the mobile phone case.

This disclosure describes features and methods of formation of a data port for a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a device housing having a wall defining a data port opening. An anchoring feature is formed along a portion of the wall defining the data port opening. A structural support member is positioned within the data port opening and reinforces the data port opening. A polymer material fills a gap between the structural support member and a portion of the wall defining the data port opening. The polymer material engages the anchoring feature to retain the structural support member within the data port opening.

A tool for facilitating attaching a screen protector of a screen protector assembly to a display of an electronic device includes a tray, an alignment block, and a spring. The tray includes a first corner alignment feature, a second corner alignment feature, and an engagement feature for engaging the screen protector assembly. The tray also includes a movable arm for holding the screen protector assembly on the engagement feature. The alignment block is slidably attached to the tray to define an interior of the tool. The alignment block includes a first corner alignment feature, a second corner alignment feature, and an engagement feature for engaging the screen protector assembly. The spring is configured to push the alignment block toward the first and second corner alignment features of the tray to center the electronic device is in the tool for the attaching of the screen protector to the electronic device.

Disclosed are a film releasing assembly, a film sticking machine and a method for using the film sticking machine. The film releasing assembly comprises a pedestal and a sliding block seat. The pedestal is recessed inwards to form a process groove therein, and the process groove defines a positioning area and a film sticking area which are communicated with each other. The sliding block seat is arranged in the process groove and capable of reciprocating in the positioning area and the film sticking area, and the sliding block seat at one end thereof facing to the film sticking area comprises a pushing portion formed to peel a release layer off from a film and guide the release layer peeled downwards to the process groove.

A housing for an electronic device is disclosed. The housing comprises a first component and a second component separated from the first component by a gap. The housing also includes a first molded element disposed at least partially within the gap and defining at least a portion of an interlock feature, and a second molded element disposed at least partially within the gap and mechanically engaging the interlock feature. The first component, the second component, and the second molded element form a portion of an exterior surface of the housing. A method of forming the housing is also disclosed.

Disclosed herein is a screen protector assembly and a screen protector applicator comprising a screen protector assembly and an applicator tray, the screen protector assembly comprising a cover layer, a screen protector layer and a retention layer, wherein: the cover layer is bonded on a first side of the screen protector layer by a first glue layer provided on the screen protector layer; the retention layer is bonded on a second side of the screen protector by a second glue layer provided on the retention layer; and an interlayer is provided between the retention layer and the screen protector layer. The screen protector applicator has a simple structure, and can store and protect the screen protector assembly before application of the screen protector layer to the screen. In the process of screen protector application, the operation method is simple and convenient.
