  • Publication number: 20240100817
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus for installing a screen protector on an electronic device is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support member and a first assembly. The support member has an upper support surface configured to support an electronic device. The first assembly includes a first member and an actuator. When the electronic device with a screen protector positioned thereon is supported on the upper support surface of the support member, actuating the actuator of the first assembly causes the first member to move into contact with the screen protector and to apply a force onto the screen protector to tack the screen protector to the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11840051
    Abstract: An apparatus and/or method for installing a screen protector on an electronic device, for example using a wet application process. The apparatus includes a support member for supporting the electronic device and a clamp mechanism for clamping the electronic device in a fixed position on the support member. A tack assembly is used to tack the screen protector to the electronic device. The tack assembly includes an actuator that, once actuated, causes a tack member to apply a force onto the screen protector which tacks the screen protector to the electronic device and prevents misalignment. Finally, a roller assembly is actuated so that a roller member moves across the screen protector to bond the screen protector to the electronic device and remove any excess liquid that may exist between the screen protector and the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20210069834
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for producing a screen protector. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a multi-layered sheet into a cutting device, the cutting device configured to provide different cut types. A characteristic of the sheet received into the cutting device is determined. Based thereon, a cut type is determined. The sheet is cut according to the determined cut type to form the screen protector. Further, a charge for the cutting of the sheet is determined based on the cut type.

  • Patent number: 4228642
    Abstract: In a controlled stopping procedure for an open-end spinning machine the fibre feed roller and the yarn delivery rollers decelerate in synchronism. A detector senses a predetermined speed of the yarn delivery rollers after a period of time from starting the deceleration and initiates the stopping of the fibre feed roller. After a further period of time, determined by time delay means, the decelerating yarn delivery rollers are braked. Preferably the yarn delivery rollers have come almost to rest when they are braked.
