Abstract: A protection case includes a receiving portion for receiving an electronic device and a cover portion connected to one side of the receiving portion for supporting or covering the receiving portion. The cover portion includes a first reinforcing member, a second reinforcing member adjacent to the first reinforcing member, two third reinforcing members symmetrically located at two opposite sides of the first reinforcing member, and two fourth reinforcing members symmetrically located at two opposite ends of the cover portion. The first, second, third and fourth reinforcing members are connected flexibly to each other. The first reinforcing member is folded toward and absorbed on the second reinforcing member. Each of the two third reinforcing members together with the adjacent fourth reinforcing member forms a supporting portion to abut against the back of the receiving portion.

Abstract: A method to manufacture a compound material article decorated with patterns includes providing a fiber cloth impregnated with resin, providing a carrier film with a pattern layer, placing the fiber cloth and the carrier film in a hot-press die, closing the hot-press die to adhere the carrier film to a side surface of the fiber cloth, cooling the hot-press die, and opening the hot-press die to release the carrier film from the fiber cloth. The pattern layer adheres to the side surface of the fiber cloth.

Abstract: A method to manufacture a housing of an electronic device includes providing a fiber cloth impregnated with resin. Providing a film attached to one side surface of the fiber cloth. Placing the fiber cloth together with the film in a hot-press die to adhere the film to the fiber cloth to form a fiber cloth layer and a film layer. Placing the fiber cloth layer and the film layer in a female mold. Providing a male mold closed to the female mold, then injecting molten resin into the female mold to form a resin layer, with the resin layer and the film layer integrated to a unitary body when injecting. Then cooling the female mold and the male mold, and then opening the male mold to retrieve the housing.

Abstract: A protective cover for protecting and supporting a portable electronic device includes a bottom cover and a top cover including three segments. One of the segments at a first side of the top cover is pivotably attached to the bottom cover. Another one of the segments at a second side of the top cover is magnetically attracted to a back of the bottom cover. The segment at the second side of the top cover is slidable along the back of the bottom cover to adjust an angle of the bottom cover relative to a platform.

Abstract: A plastic articles is provided. The plastic article includes a base formed by injecting molted resin into a cavity of a female mold, and a film attached to the base. The base includes a first edge, the film comprises a second edge level to the first edge of the base.

Abstract: An in-mold-decoration method for plastic articles is provided. An uninterrupted film is provided and transported into a mold. A predetermined area of the film attaches to an inner surface of a cavity of a female mold of the mold. The predetermined area of the film is cut from the uninterrupted film during closing the mold.

Abstract: A method for forming a plastic article is provided. An uninterrupted film with a hard-coating layer is provided and transported into a mold. A predetermined area of the film attaches to an inner surface of a cavity of a female mold of the mold. The predetermined area of the film is cut from the uninterrupted film during closing the mold.

Abstract: A compound material article and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The compound material article includes a substrate molded by compound materials, and a film attached to a surface of the substrate. The film is capable of being painted different patterns or characters on a surface opposite to the substrate.

Abstract: An apparatus for in-mold-decoration includes a male mold, a female mold comprising a surface facing the male mold, a foil, a press member, and a supporting member. The surface of the female mold defines a cavity. The foil is applied to the surface of the female mold. The press member is positioned between the male mold and the female mold, and capable of hermetically pressing the foil on the surface of the female mold. The supporting member is movably mounted to the surface of the female mold to prop up the foil toward the male mold before the press member presses the foil on the surface of the female mold.

Abstract: An apparatus for in-mold-decoration includes a mold, a transport, and at least one movable element. The mold includes a male mold and a female mold. The transport is used for transporting a foil into the mold between the male mold and the female mold. The at least one movable element is positioned between the male mold and the female mold, for defining an injection space together with the female mold and the male mold.

Abstract: An apparatus for an in-mold-decoration molding includes a female mold and a male mold. The female mold has an enclosing portion protruding therefrom. The male mold has a protrusion protruding therefrom. The protrusion is step-shaped and includes a receiving portion and a protruding portion protruding from the receiving portion. The receiving portion is configured for fitting with the enclosing portion and allowing a foil to attach thereto, therefore the male mold and the female mold cooperate to define a molding space with an end thereof being covered by the foil.
