Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of film application technology, and in particular to a paper film applicator that is easy to transport. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, the popularity of various electronic devices has also increased significantly. To prevent scratches from affecting the screen's performance, people usually apply a screen protector. Due to the development and convenience of the internet, more and more people are choosing to buy screen protectors online and apply them themselves. However, when applying screen protectors themselves, inaccurate positioning often occurs due to the operator's lack of experience, causing the protector to shift and affecting its appearance. Therefore, many vendors provide free or optional screen protector applicators when consumers purchase screen protectors to facilitate the operation for inexperienced consumers. However, traditional screen protector applicators are mostly made of blister packaging or rigid materials, which are expensive and the materials are non-biodegradable, making them very environmentally unfriendly.

[0003] Current screen protector applicators, such as the screen protector applicator and applicator assembly disclosed in Chinese Patent CN221189284U, include a first cover and a second cover connected to each other, and a screen protector body. After the second cover is folded relative to the first cover, a clamping space is formed between the first cover and the second cover. The screen protector body is located in the clamping space, and the screen protector body is provided with an installation space for storing electronic devices. There is a connection between the second cover and the first cover, and the height of the connection is not less than that of the screen protector body. The screen protector body is fixed on the first cover or the second cover.

[0004] The screen protector body of this type of applicator is molded and then fixed to the cover, or it is molded as a single piece with the cover. In order to match the height of the screen protector body, the distance between the connection between the first and second covers cannot be less than the height of the screen protector body. This results in a fixed volume of the screen protector, which occupies a certain amount of transportation space and increases transportation costs. Secondly, although the upper and lower covers can protect the screen protector body, due to the height of the screen protector, it is inevitable that it will be bumped during transportation, causing the screen protector body to deform and affecting its use. Thirdly, the screen protector body is formed to create the installation space for electronic devices. It is formed by a circumferentially enclosed groove structure or by multiple limiting blocks circumferentially spaced around it. This requires an additional process of separately forming the screen protector body, increasing manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0038] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] See Figures 1 to 7 The first embodiment of this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0040] A convenient paper film applicator includes a first cardboard 1 and a second cardboard 2. The first cardboard 1 is connected to the second cardboard 2 via a first connecting part 11. The first cardboard 1 can be folded toward or away from the second cardboard 2. The device also includes a third cardboard 3 with a hollow rectangle. One end of the third cardboard 3 is connected to the first connecting part 11, and the other end is a free end. The hollow portion of the third cardboard 3 has a first opposite side 301 and a second opposite side 302. Two extensions 31 extend from the first opposite side 301 toward the second cardboard 2, respectively. The third cardboard 3 is connected to the second cardboard 2 via the extensions 31. The length of the extensions 31 is less than the length of the first cardboard 1 and the second cardboard 2. The size of the hollow portion of the third cardboard 3 is adapted to the electronic device 6 to be filmed. The connection between the two extensions 31 and the second cardboard 2 is provided with folded feet 311 facing the first connecting part. The folded feet 311 are connected to the second cardboard 2.

[0041] When the film applicator is opened, the first cardboard 1 folds away from the second cardboard 2. The first connecting part 11 drives the third cardboard 3 to rise relative to the second cardboard 2. The third cardboard 3 drives the extension part 31 to rise relative to the second cardboard 2 until the hollow part of the third cardboard 3 and the second cardboard 2 form a receiving cavity 4 for accommodating electronic devices. The height of the extension part 31 is less than the thickness of the electronic device 6 to be film applied. The extension part 31 is provided with a clearance groove 312 that matches the side button of the electronic device. This facilitates the positioning of the electronic device in the receiving cavity and prevents the electronic device from moving in the receiving cavity and affecting the film application effect.

[0042] The second opposite side 302 of the third cardboard 3, the extension 31, and the second cardboard 2 constitute the area for placing the protective film 5. One end of the cardboard 3 is used to fix the protective film 5, which is fixed at the positioning part 41, for example, by adhesive. The other end is the film outlet 42. The pull strip 51 on the release film of the protective film 5 (which has the same shape as the adhesive surface of the protective film and is adhesively applied, so it is omitted in the figure) protrudes from the film outlet 42 and is exposed to the film applicator. When applying the film, the electronic device 6 to be applied is placed upside down into the receiving cavity 4, and the first cardboard 1 is folded back as a cover. The first cardboard 1 is held down, and the pull strip 51 is pulled out, so that the screen of the electronic device can be pasted to the adhesive surface of the protective film and the screen to complete the film application. During the process, no dust will enter and affect the film application effect.

[0043] When the laminator is closed, the first cardboard 1 folds towards the second cardboard 2, and the third cardboard 3 and the extension 31 descend relative to the second cardboard 2 until the first cardboard 1, the second cardboard 2, and the third cardboard 3 overlap, with the third cardboard 3 positioned between the first cardboard 1 and the second cardboard 2. In the closed state, the third cardboard is located within the first and second cardboards, protecting it from impacts. The overlap of the first cardboard 1, the second cardboard 2, and the third cardboard 3 when the laminator is closed occupies less space than traditional laminators, reducing transportation costs. It is also less prone to damage from impacts, simplifies the manufacturing process, and uses more environmentally friendly paper materials.

[0044] In addition to the above-mentioned technical solutions, due to the characteristics of paper products, creases 7 are also provided. A first crease 71 is provided between the first cardboard and the first connecting part, a second crease 72 is provided between the second cardboard and the first connecting part, a third crease 73 is provided between the third cardboard and the extension part, and a fourth crease 74 is provided between the extension part and the folding foot. The setting of creases 7 helps to stabilize the movement of each structure when folding, making the use of the film applicator more convenient and smooth. The corners of the first cardboard 1, the second cardboard 2 and the third cardboard 3 are all rounded to prevent the user from being punctured or cut when picking up the film applicator.

[0045] See Figures 8 to 11 The figure shows the second embodiment of this utility model.

[0046] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the first cardboard 1, the second cardboard 2, and the third cardboard 3 are integrally formed. The second cardboard 2 and the third cardboard 3 are connected by the second connecting part 32, and the entire product is integrally formed, resulting in higher production efficiency. At the same time, since this product is a paper product, the second connecting part 32 makes the product more stable. A fifth crease 75 is provided between the second connecting part and the second and third cardboards to optimize the user experience.

[0047] The first and second cardboard pieces mentioned above can be integrally formed or made separately and then spliced ​​together. They are not limited to those described in the embodiments. The contents not described in detail in the specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
