DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0035] The present invention is a mobile phone film attaching device, which is a device specially used to attach a reinforced protective film to the surface of the mobile phone screen. Following are further descriptions with reference to embodiment figures.

[0036] Depicted in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 is Embodiment 1 of a mobile phone film attaching device equipped with a reinforced glass film, which includes: a film attaching device main body 1, a connector 2 and a reinforced glass film 3.

[0037] The film attaching device main body 1 can be made and formed with plastic, metal or ceramic materials.

[0038] The bottom surface of the film attaching device main body 1 is formed with a holding space 11 to cover the mobile phone. The enclosing space of the holding space 11 matches the corresponding model of the mobile phone. The holding space 11 has a bottom surface 110 to touch the surface of the mobile phone. The bottom surface 110 can be formed by the protruding bar configured inside the holding space 11. That is to say, the area of the holding space 11 limits the edges the mobile phone, and the bottom surface 110 limits the surface on one side of the mobile phone screen.

[0039] The holding space 11 is usually enclosed by edgings. Specifically, the holding space 11 can be enclosed by continuous or discontinuous edgings 111. In the present embodiment, the holding space 11 is enclosed by continuous edgings 111, i.e, by the bar-shaped edgings 111 distributed on the periphery of the bottom surface of the film attaching device main body 1.

[0040] Inside the holding space 11, a recess area 13 is formed. The recess area 13 is used to place the reinforced glass film 3. The reinforced glass film 3 is configured inside the recess area 13 through a connector 2. In the present embodiment, the connector 2 is an adhesive layer (see the shaded area in FIG. 5). The connector 2 is coated on the bottom surface of the film attaching device main body 1. The reinforced glass film 3 is suspended and adhered inside the recess area 13 through the connector 2. The connector 2 shall not be made too sticky, otherwise it will be difficult to separate the reinforced glass film 3 from the connector 2. It is not necessary to adhere the full area of the reinforced glass film 3 to the connector 2. A certain adhesive area will be enough to fix the reinforced glass film 3 on the bottom surface of the film attaching device main body 1 through the connector 2. In actual production, the shape of the recess area 13 can match the shape of the reinforced glass film 3, so that the recess area 13 can limit the reinforced glass film 3. Of course, the shaped recess area 13 can be larger than the reinforced glass film 3. When the reinforced glass film 3 is adhered through the connector 2, the position shall be confirmed. When the two are attached to each other, the position is fixed.

[0041] In addition, the connector 2 can also be an adhesive piece, such as a double-sided adhesive tape, or a sticky film etc.

[0042] When the reinforced glass film 3 is fixed inside the holding space 11 through the connector 2, as the holding space 11 matches the contour of the mobile phone, when the film attaching device main body 1 covers the mobile phone, the reinforced glass film 3 is accurately aligned to the mobile phone screen, and the user does not need to make the alignment twice.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 6, the reinforced glass film 3 is configured inside the recess area 13 through the connector 2, and of the relative two ends of the reinforced glass film 3, end a is protruded from or aligned to the bottom surface 110, the other end b is not protruded from the bottom surface 110, such that, when the film attaching device main body 1 covers the mobile phone 6, of the relative two ends a and b of the reinforced glass film 3, the end a that is protruded from or aligned to the bottom surface 110 touches the mobile phone screen, and there is a gap 100 between the other end b that is not protruded from the bottom surface 110 and the mobile phone screen.

[0044] In order to realize the effect that, of the two relative ends of the reinforced glass film 3, end a is protruded from or aligned to the bottom surface 110, end b is not protruded from the bottom surface 110, the present embodiment adopts the following method: as shown in FIG. 6, the depth of the recess area 13 has height differences, the depth on one side is larger than the depth on the other side, through the height difference, the reinforced glass film 3 is at a tilted position in relation to the bottom surface 110. To be more specific, the loading bottom surface 130 inside the recess area 13 to load the reinforced glass film 3 is tilted, i.e., the depth of the recess area 13 varies gradually from end a to end b, and the depth is gradually increased. As the thickness of the coated adhesive layer as the connector 2 and the thickness of the reinforced glass film 3 basically will not change, and as the loading bottom surface 130 is a tilted surface, through the loading bottom surface, the reinforced glass film 3 is at a tilted position in relation to the bottom surface 110, and a gap 100 is formed at the end b.

[0045] The reinforced glass film 3 delivered from the factory will usually have its adhesive side adhered with a release film 5. When using, the release film 5 shall be peeled off before attaching the glass film. The release film 5 has an extended portion 51 extended out of the reinforced glass film 3. The extended portion 51 can be used to facilitate removal of the release film 5. Through the extended portion 51, the reinforced glass film 3 can be easily separated. The extended portion 51 also has a positioning function. In addition, the edging 111 to form the holding space 11 is provided with a notch 112 at the position corresponding to the extended portion 51.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 6, when attaching the film, use the present embodiment of a mobile phone film attaching device equipped with a reinforced glass film to cover the mobile phone 6 of a matching model. Before covering, the release film 5 on the adhesive side of the reinforced glass film 3 shall be removed. The holding space 11 of the film attaching device main body 1 is used to align the position of the mobile phone 6. When the film attaching device main body 1 fully covers the mobile phone 6, the reinforced glass film 3 is positioned above the screen of the mobile phone 6. At this time, of the two relative ends a and b of the reinforced glass film 3, end a touches the edge of the screen of the mobile phone 6, end b of the reinforced glass film 3 does not touch the screen of the mobile phone 6, and a gap 100 is maintained. Under this state, the reinforced glass film 3 is at a tilted position in relation to the mobile phone screen. End a of the reinforced glass film 3 directly touches the edge of the screen of the mobile phone 6. Through the self-adhesion property of the reinforced glass film 3, the reinforced glass film 3 is gradually and automatically adhered from end a to end b, i.e., the adhesion area between the reinforced glass film 3 and the screen of the mobile phone 6 gradually increase from end a to end b of the reinforced glass film 3. As end b of the reinforced glass film b is not protruded from the bottom surface 110, the reinforced glass film 3 can not be completely adhered to the screen of the mobile phone 6. There will still be a gap 100 between the two, and further adhesion is not possible. In the end, remove the film attaching device main body 1, so as to separate the reinforced glass film 3 from the connector 2. When the reinforced glass film 3 is not connected to the connector 2, under the tension and self-adhesion of the material itself, the reinforced glass film 3 is fully adhered to the screen of the mobile phone 6, and the whole film attaching operation is completed.

Embodiment 2

[0047] Embodiment 2 has a structure different from Embodiment 1. The difference is that: in Embodiment 1, a height difference of depth is formed through the tilted surface of the loading bottom surface 130 in the recess area 13. The present embodiment adopts another method. See FIG. 7, in this embodiment, a raised portion 4 is configured between the recess area 13 and the reinforced glass film 3. Through this raised portion 4, the reinforced glass film 3 is tilted in relation to the bottom surface 110. The raised portion 4 raises the height of the reinforced glass film 3 on one side, so that the reinforced glass film 3 is at a tilted position in relation to the bottom surface 110.

[0048] Of course, the raised portion 4 can also be realized through other methods. For example, the raised portion 4 can be directly formed on the bottom surface of the film attaching device main body 1, or, can be a tape or soft glue adhered on the bottom side of the film attaching device main body 1.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the connector 2 is configured on the bottom surface of the film attaching device main body 1 through coating or adhesion. But it has a drawback. To make sure that the film attaching device main body 1 can be smoothly removed without pulling off the reinforced glass film 3 together, the adhesion between the connector 2 and the reinforced glass film 3 shall be weak, much weaker than the adhesion between the reinforced glass film 3 and the mobile phone screen. The poses a high requirement for the adhesion of the glue. Therefore, the present invention provides another method, i.e., to configure the connector 2 on the top surface of the film attaching device main body 1.

Embodiment 3

[0050] Referring to FIG. 8, in this embodiment, the holding space 11 is enclosed by a continuous frame 111, with a notch 112 maintained. The notch 112 is used to extend the extended portion 51 of the release film 5, to facilitate removal of the release film 5.

[0051] The connector 2 is a bendable tape, a sticky film, or an adhesive plate, having one adhesive side. The connector 2 is configured on the top surface of the film attaching device main body 1, and the film attaching device main body 1 is provided with an up-to-down through window 12 or notch. The connector 2 is connected to the reinforced glass film 3 through the window 12 or notch. Of course, it will be fine as long as part of the reinforced glass film 3 is attached to the connector 2 through the window 12, and the reinforced glass film will not fall out from the recess area 13.

[0052] During the production, when the reinforced glass film 3 is loaded in the recess area 13, part of the adhesive area of the connector 2 goes through the window 12 to attach the reinforced glass film 3. At this time, the reinforced glass film 3 is fixed with the film attaching device main body 1.

[0053] FIG. 9 shows the use of this Embodiment 3. Firstly, remove the release film 5 (if attached) on the adhesive side of the reinforced glass film 3. Then, cover the present embodiment of the mobile phone film attaching device equipped with a reinforced glass film on the corresponding model of the mobile phone. See FIG. 9, the reinforced glass film 3 is fixed in the recess area 13 through the connector 2, and of the relative two sides of the reinforced glass film 3, the end on the right side is protruded from or aligned to the bottom surface 110, the end on the left side is not protruded from the bottom surface 110, and there is still a gap 100. Therefore, when the film attaching device main body 1 covers the mobile phone 6, the left end of the reinforced glass film 3 directly touches the screen of the mobile phone 6. At this time, due to the self-adhesion property of the reinforced glass film 3, the reinforced glass film 3 is gradually and automatically attached to the screen from the left to the right, till the automatic adhesion can not continue. Now, remove the connector 2 to separate the reinforced glass film 3 from the connector 2. When the reinforced glass film 3 is not connected to the connector 2, under the tension and self-adhesion force of the material itself, the reinforced glass film 3 is completely attached to the screen of the mobile phone 6. In the end, remove the film attaching device main body 1 to complete the film attaching. Comparing to the previous embodiment, the present embodiment requires removal of the connector 2. At this time, the connector 2 and the reinforced glass film 3 are respectively located on the top surface and bottom surface of the film attaching device main body 1. When removing the connector 2, the reinforced glass film 3 is completely limited between the film attaching device main body 1 and the mobile phone screen. Therefore, even if the connector 2 is removed, it will not affect the position of the reinforced glass film 3. Therefore, in the present Embodiment 3, the connector 2 can be attached to the reinforced glass film 3 using strong adhesives so that, during the whole packaging and transportation processes, the reinforced glass film 3 can be connected to the connector 2 stably, avoiding accidental fall-off.

[0054] As the connector 2 acts a function to position the reinforced glass film 3, in order to make sure that the connector 2 is stably attached to the film attaching device main body 1, in the present invention, a positioning mechanism is configured between the connector 2 and the film attaching device main body 1. The positioning mechanism includes: positioning columns 120 configured on the top surface of the film attaching device main body 1 and positioning holes 20 configured on the connector 2. In addition, the two ends of the connector 2 are respectively configured with extended portions 21, and the top surface of the film attaching device main body 1 is configured with a positioning trough 121 with its width corresponding to the extended portion 21 of the connector 2. The function of the positioning mechanism is to realize accurate alignment between the connector 2 and the film attaching device main body 1.

[0055] Other structures are the same as Embodiment 1 and 2 described above, and are not detailed here.

Embodiment 4

[0056] Referring to FIG. 9, Embodiment 4 differs from Embodiment 3 in that, the connector 2 of the present\embodiment includes: a main body portion 200 and a narrow portion 201 integrally formed on the top end of the main body portion 200 with its width lower than the width of the main body portion 200. The width of the narrow portion 201 is lower than the width of the window 12 configured on the film attaching device main body 1; the connector 2 also includes a hand-holding portion 202 that is extended out of the film attaching device main body 1, and that has no adhesive side for holding by hand.

[0057] Such a design of the connector 2 has the following advantages: when attaching the film, as the size of the narrow portion 201 is relatively small so that there is a gap between the outside of the narrow portion 201 and the window 12. Through this gap, the adhesion process can be clearly seen when the reinforced glass film is attached to the mobile phone screen.

[0058] Users can monitor the adhesion process and see if there are any bubbles generated. In addition, the hand-holding portion 202 provides convenience to users. By holding the hand-holding portion 202, the user can easily pull open the connector 2 in relation to the film attaching device main body 1. Thus, work efficiency can be enhanced.

[0059] Similarly, in the present embodiment, a positioning mechanism is configured between the connector 2 and the film attaching device main body 1. The positioning mechanism includes: positioning columns 120 configured on the top surface of the film attaching device main body 1 and positioning holes 20 configured on the connector 2. Also, the top surface of the film attaching device main body 1 is configured with a positioning trough 121 with its width matching the corresponding portion of the connector 2.
