  • Patent number: 10710294
    Abstract: A screen protector installation machine uses a screen protector laminate to apply a screen protector to a cell phone. The laminate comprise a web that carries the screen protector and a backing layer. The laminate is carried by a lid coupled to a base and closable over the base. An impression in the base receives the cell phone. A first slider is carried by the lid and comprises a spool rotatable with respect to the lid. A tab of the backing layer is coupled to the spool. As the slider slides over the cell phone, the spool rotates to wind the backing layer around the spool to expose the screen protector. The lid properly positions and orients the screen protector over the mobile device. The lid is automatically lowered onto the base, and the screen protector is automatically lowered onto the mobile device, by movement of the first slider after the backing layer is removed.

  • Patent number: 9557776
    Abstract: A hinge resistively holds an orientation between first and second members. The hinge has an elongated shaft with a head mating with a bore in the first member. A key is rotatably disposed on an axel portion of the shaft and has a tab mating with a slot in the second member. A friction ring is disposed on the shaft adjacent the key, and keyed to rotated with the shaft. The friction ring and the key have opposing bearing surfaces to hold their relative position by friction. One of the friction ring and the key can have a dimple while the other has a detent. A spring is carried by the shaft and biases the key and the friction ring together.

  • Patent number: 9036340
    Abstract: A reversible folio for a tablet computer has a tablet shell with a cavity removably receiving the tablet computer. A keyboard is pivotally and removably coupled to the tablet shell. A channel is pivotally coupled to an edge of the keyboard. An interior of the channel removably receives the proximal edge of the tablet shell, and has a profile mating with a profile of the tablet shell. The channel and proximal edge have first and second symmetrical magnet arrays, respectively. The proximal edge of the tablet shell physically mates with the channel of the keyboard, and the second magnet array of the tablet shell magnetically mates with the first magnet array of the channel, in both a first orientation and an opposite second orientation.
