Abstract

A machine including an adjustable cradle configured to hold, individually at different times, electronic devices having different dimensions. The machine also can include an alignment base configured to engage, individually at different times, with alignment mechanisms of overlay applicators, each respective one of the overlay applicators comprising a respective overlay configured to be applied to a respective surface of each of the electronic devices. The machine can be configured to facilitate applying, individually at different times, the respective overlays to the respective surfaces of the electronic devices. The adjustable cradle can include a second adjustable holder and a third adjustable holder opposite the second adjustable holder. The second adjustable holder and the third adjustable holder can be configured to adjust a respective position of each of the electronic devices held in the adjustable cradle with respect to the alignment base. Other embodiments are described.

the second adjustable holder and the third adjustable holder are configured to adjust a respective position of each of the electronic devices held in the adjustable cradle with respect to the alignment base.

2. The machine of claim 1 , wherein:

the electronic devices comprise a first electronic device and a second electronic device;

the adjustable cradle is configured to hold, individually at different times, the first electronic device and the second electronic device;

the first electronic device of the electronic devices has a first length and a first width;

the second electronic device of the electronic devices has a second length different from the first length and a second width different from the first width; and

the different dimensions comprise the first length, the first width, the second length, and the second width.

3. The machine of claim 2 , wherein:

the machine is configured in an opened configuration such that (a) either of the first electronic device or the second electronic device and (b) a respective one of the overlay applicators can be inserted and removed from the machine;

the machine is configured in a closed configuration to prevent removal of (a) the either of the first electronic device or the second electronic device and (b) at least a portion of the respective one of the overlay applicators from the machine; and

the machine is configured in the closed configuration such that a respective pull tab of the respective one of the overlay applicators can be pulled to remove a respective adhesive release liner of the respective one of the overlay applicators from the respective overlay of the respective one of the overlay applicators to expose an adhesive agent of the respective overlay to the respective surface of the either of the first electronic device or the second electronic device.

4. The machine of claim 1 further comprising:

a support base comprising the adjustable cradle and the alignment base.

5. The machine of claim 4 further comprising:

a lid is hingedly attached to the support base and configured to rotate with respect to the support base between an opened configuration and a closed configuration.

6. The machine of claim 1 , wherein:

the adjustable cradle is configured to hold the second adjustable holder and the third adjustable holder in an opened position until a button is activated by insertion of each of the electronic devices into the adjustable cradle to (a) transition the second adjustable holder and the third adjustable holder from the opened position to a closed position and (b) hold each of the electronic devices within the adjustable cradle.

7. The machine of claim 1 , wherein:

the adjustable cradle comprises a first adjustable holder configured to (a) be pushed in a first direction toward a first side wall of the adjustable cradle to allow insertion of each of the electronic devices into the adjustable cradle and (b) hold each of the electronic devices against a second side wall of the adjustable cradle opposite the first side wall when each of the electronic devices is held within the adjustable cradle.

8. The machine of claim 7 , wherein:

the adjustable cradle is configured to adjust a position in the first direction of the alignment base for different first dimensions of the electronic devices with respect to the first adjustable holder such that a distance between the alignment base and a respective center of a respective first dimension of each of the electronic devices is constant between the electronic devices when each of the electronic devices is held within the adjustable cradle.

9. The machine of claim 7 , wherein the adjustable cradle comprises one or more buttons configured to:

transition the first adjustable holder, the second adjustable holder, the third adjustable holder to a closed position to hold each of the electronic devices within the adjustable cradle.

10. The machine of claim 1 , wherein:

when each of the electronic devices is held within the adjustable cradle, the second adjustable holder and the third adjustable holder are configured to center each of the electronic devices with respect to the alignment base.

11. A method of providing a machine, the method comprising:

providing an adjustable cradle configured to hold, individually at different times, electronic devices having different dimensions; and

providing an alignment base configured to engage, individually at different times, with overlay applicators, each respective one of the overlay applicators comprising a respective overlay configured to be applied to a respective surface of each of the electronic devices,

wherein:

the machine is configured to facilitate applying, individually at different times, the respective overlays to the respective surfaces of the electronic devices;

the adjustable cradle comprises a second adjustable holder and a third adjustable holder;

the second adjustable holder and the third adjustable holder are on opposite sides of the adjustable cradle; and

the second adjustable holder and the third adjustable holder are configured to adjust a respective position of each of the electronic devices held in the adjustable cradle with respect to the alignment base.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the electronic devices comprise a first electronic device and a second electronic device;

the adjustable cradle is configured to hold, individually at different times, the first electronic device and the second electronic device;

the first electronic device of the electronic devices has a first length and a first width;

the second electronic device of the electronic devices has a second length different from the first length and a second width different from the first width; and

the different dimensions comprise the first length, the first width, the second length, and the second width.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein:

the machine is configured in an opened configuration such that (a) either of the first electronic device or the second electronic device and (b) a respective one of the overlay applicators can be inserted and removed from the machine;

the machine is configured in a closed configuration to prevent removal of (a) the either of the first electronic device or the second electronic device and (b) at least a portion of the respective one of the overlay applicators from the machine; and

the machine is configured in the closed configuration such that a respective pull tab of the respective one of the overlay applicators can be pulled to remove a respective adhesive release liner of the respective one of the overlay applicators from the respective overlay of the respective one of the overlay applicators to expose an adhesive agent of the respective overlay to the respective surface of the either of the first electronic device or the second electronic device.

14. The method of claim 11 further comprising:

providing a support base comprising the adjustable cradle and the alignment base.
