Abstract

Provided is 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.

Claims

1. A film laminator for film lamination on a surface of a cell phone comprising:

a cell phone fixing plate, with a through hole to receive said cell phone, a horizontal face with a top surface, and at least one position limiting plate fixed on said top surface for abutting an end portion of said cell phone;

a film laminating plate with a first end and a second end;

wherein a hinge is bonded to said first end of said film laminating plate and to said top surface of said cell phone fixing plate allowing a cell phone protective film to be affixed to said cell phone.

2. The film laminator of claim 1, wherein said cell phone fixing plate has two position limiting plates, each of which is fixed to said cell phone fixing plate utilizing a corresponding set of positioning holes located in said cell phone fixing plate.

3. The film laminator of claim 2, wherein each of said position limiting plates is located at an edge of said through hole, and wherein each of said position limiting plates covers a part of said through hole.

4. The film laminator of claim 1, wherein a groove for fixing the cell phone protective film is provided on the film laminating plate, and is established on a face of the film laminating plate for bonding with the cell phone fixing plate.

5. The film laminator of claim 4, wherein when said film laminating plate is bonded with the top surface of the cell phone fixing plate, the groove coincides with said through hole.

6. The film laminator of claim 4, wherein an exhaust through hole is established on said film laminating plate, and communicates with the bottom of said groove.

7. The film laminator of claim 1, wherein said cell phone protective film comprises a first outer film, a primary film and a second outer film that are stacked sequentially, a separating strip is provided at an end of the first outer film, an end of the second outer film is jointed to the film laminating plate, and an adhering sheet is disposed between the first outer film and the primary film.

8. The film laminator of claim 1, wherein the shape of said through hole is the same as the shape of profile of the cell phone.

9. The film laminator of claim 1, wherein said film laminating plate is comprised of transparent material.

10. The film laminator of claim 1, wherein said cell phone fixing plate comprises hard paper board, with thickness in the range of 2.5 to 7 mm;

said film laminating plate comprises hard paper board, with thickness in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm;

said position limiting plate comprises PET board, with thickness in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
