Abstract

According to the utility model, there is provided a film laminator for cell phones, useful for film lamination on a surface of a cell phone, including: a cell phone fixing plate, on which a through hole for receiving the cell phone is established, and a top surface of which is a horizontal face; with at least one position limiting plate for abutting the cell phone within the through hole being also fixed on the top surface. The film laminator for cell phones further includes: a film laminating plate for fixing a cell phone film; one end of which is hinged to the cell phone fixing plate, and the other end of which is movable freely so that the film laminating plate is bonded with the top surface of the cell phone fixing plate. With respect to the film laminator for cell phones according to the utility model, because the position limiting plate is provided on the cell phone fixing plate, the surface of the cell phone to which a film is to be attached can handily be kept in flush with the top surface of the cell phone fixing plate. Upon film lamination, the film laminating plate can contact with the top surface of the cell phone fixing plate and the surface of the cell phone to which a film is to be attached at the same time, so that the stress that is laid on it in the course of film lamination is very even, and a good effect of film lamination is obtained.

Claims (26)

1. An apparatus for applying protective film to the screen of a portable electronic device, comprising:

a fixing plate comprising:

a horizontal top surface, and

a first opening in the horizontal top surface corresponding to the shape of the portable electronic device;

at least one position limiting plate affixed to the horizontal top surface and disposed so that a portion of the position limiting plate overlaps the first opening;

a first outer film,

a primary film, and

a second outer film; and

wherein one side of the second outer film is affixed to the groove, and an opposite side is removably affixed to the primary film.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the film laminating plate is rigid.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said primary film comprises tempered glass.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the film laminating plate further comprises an exhaust through hole disposed within the groove.

5. An apparatus for applying protective film to the screen of a portable electronic device, comprising:

a fixing plate, comprising an upper surface having a through hole corresponding to the shape of the portable electronic device;

at least one position limiting plate affixed to the upper surface, wherein said position limiting plate overlaps an edge of the through hole such that a portion of the portable electronic device is in contact with the position limiting plate;

a film laminating plate bonded to the upper surface, the film laminating plate comprising:

a hinge,

a groove,

a removable first outer film,

a primary film adapted to adhere to the screen of said electronic device, and

a second outer film removably adhered to said primary film, and fixed onto the film laminating plate.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein said film laminating plate further comprises an exhaust through hole in the groove adapted to permit digital pressure to be applied to the primary film through the groove and the second outer film.
