This application claims the benefit of Korean Application No. 10-2017-0098792 filed on Aug. 4, 2017 with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a display protector attaching apparatus for a smart device and an attaching method thereof, and more particularly, to a display protector attaching apparatus for a smart device and an attaching method thereof capable of easily and efficiently attaching a display protector to a display of a smart device using a liquid adhesive member.
In recent years, smart devices (Mobile/Tablet) are high-priced products and have a structure that protects a touch panel by applying a display unit, that is, a flat or 2.5D and 3D cover glasses on the front. Such a cover glass has a high risk of being damaged or broken due to physical shock or falling.
When the cover glass is damaged or broken, cost of about 30 to 40% of the smart device is required during repairing, and a lot of time of at least 2 hors to 2 days is taken for repairing. Also, the appearance is poor and the surface is sharp to cause floating and malfunctioning.
However, when the cover glass of the smart device is damaged or broken, due to the high repairing cost, the smart device is often used by abiding the above-mentioned inconveniences and risks, and a small damage such as scratches is often neglected.
Accordingly, improvements that general consumers can easily attach a protective glass or protective film to the display of the smart device are required.
The above-described technical structure is a background technique for helping in understanding of the present invention, and does not refer to conventional techniques widely known in the art to which the present invention belongs.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a display protector attaching apparatus for the smart device including: a base portion provided with a receiving groove in which a smart device is received; a cover portion coupled to the base portion to cover the smart device received in the receiving groove; and a lifting supporter detachably coupled to a coupler provided in the base portion to support one side of a display protector attached to the smart device, in which when the lifting supporter is separated from the coupler, the display protector is detached from the display of the smart device placed with a liquid adhesive member to be attached to the display.
The base portion may include a base body provided with the receiving groove; and the coupler provided at one side of the base body and detachably coupled with the lifting supporter.
A stepped groove on which the cover portion is seated may be provided on the upper surface of the base body.
The cover portion may include a cover body detachably coupled to the upper surface of the base body and provided with an opening hole at the center; and an edge portion provided to protrude upwardly from the edge of the opening hole, in which the edge portion may have a cutting portion guiding one side of the lifting supporter coupled to the coupler to enter the opening hole.
The lifting supporter may include a lifting support body detachably coupled to the coupler; and a stopper provided in the lifting support body to restrict a moving distance of the lifting support body.
The lifting supporter may further include a handle provided in the lifting support body.
The display protector attaching apparatus may further include an adhesive member injection portion detachably coupled to the base portion to inject the liquid adhesive member to the display of the smart device received in the receiving groove.
Another exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an attaching method of a display protector for a smart device including: seating a smart device in a receiving groove of a base portion provided with the receiving groove; dropping a liquid adhesive member on a display of the smart device; and attaching the display protector to the display by separating a lifting supporter detachably coupled to a coupler of the base portion to support one side of the display protector from the coupler.
According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, when a lifting supporter is separated from a coupler, the display protector is detached from the display for the smart device placed with a liquid adhesive member to be attached to the display, thereby easily and stably attaching the display protector.
In order to fully understand the present invention, operational advantages of the present invention and objects achieved by implementing the present invention, the prevent invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention and the contents illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Hereinafter, preferred exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals illustrated in the respective drawings designate like members.
In the present exemplary embodiment, a smart device includes a smart phone or a tablet, and a display protector may include a protective glass or a protective film.
