  • Publication number: 20130309433
    Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to a screen protective film structure for disposing on an outer surface of an electronic device. The electronic device has a display portion and a frame portion. The screen protective film structure has a light-permitting film and an adhesive portion. The light-permitting film is disposed on one side of the display portion. A central space is formed between the light-permitting film and the display portion. The adhesive portion is connected to the light-permitting film and having a plurality of adhesive protrusions. The adhesive protrusions are abutted to the frame portion, and a gap is formed between the adhesive protrusions. The gap is in communication with the central space and the ambient. Thus, trapped air between the screen protective film structure and the electronic device can be relieved.

  • Publication number: 20130280464
    Abstract: The application is directed to a product or material or article made of glass where the edge of the glass is protected by the application of a solid pre-formed polymer material that is contained within the thickness of the glass. The protected glass articles have a Figure of Merit in the range of 0.4 to 20, and the edge)s) of the articles have been found to withstand impact velocities of up to 500 mm/sec. The solid pre-formed polymer material that is contained within the thickness of the glass is thus applied to the edge, and it is applied such that it does not protrude into the top and bottom viewable planes, surfaces or faces (the large surface areas) of glass. The solid pre-formed polymer material, the protective material that is contained within the thickness of the glass, may be called herein a “bumper.
