As shown in
The protective leather case 10 of the present disclosure facilitates the user to accurately attach the leather layer 100 to the smart terminal. When the user obtains the protective leather case 10, the release film is firstly removed, and the protective leather case 10 is adhered onto the smart terminal via the adhesive layer 200, so as to protect the smart terminal. Firstly, the user aligns the protective leather case 10 with the smart terminal, and removes the first release film, such that the protective leather case 10 is adhered onto the smart terminal. If the position is found to be offset at this point, it can be readjusted. Since an area of the first release film 310 is relatively small, it has a relatively limited adhesive force, which is convenient for adjustment. When the adjustment is done and it is determined that the leather layer 100 is aligned with the smart terminal, at least two second release films 320 are removed in sequence, then the entire leather layer 100 is adhered onto the smart terminal via the adhesive layer 200.
Specifically, an area of the second release film 320 is less than the area of the first release film 310. Such a configuration is convenient to remove the second release film 320 piece by piece after finishing the fine adjustment of the first release film 310, thus the attachment of the entire leather layer 100 to the smart terminal is gradually realized, so as to further ensure the accurate adhesion of the leather layer 100.
Specifically, as shown in
Further, an edge of the first release film 310 is provided with a first protrusion 311 protruding from the leather layer 100. An edge of the second release film 320 is provided with a second protrusion 325 protruding from the leather layer 100. Such a configuration allows the user to easily remove the first release film 310 by just grabbing the first protrusion 311 for peeling, and to easily remove the second release film 320 by just grabbing the second protrusion 325 for peeling, when removing the positioning release film 300.
In some embodiments, the left front release film 321 and the left rear release film 323 are adjacent, and the second protrusion 325 of the left front release film 321 and the second protrusion 325 of the left rear release film 323 are also adjacent. Similarly, the right front release film 322 and the right rear release film 324 are adjacent, and the second protrusion 325 of the right front release film 322 and the second protrusion 325 of the right rear release film 324 are also adjacent. As such, after the positioning release film 300 is adhered, the second protrusions corresponding to the left front release film 321, the right front release film 322, the left rear release film 323, and the right rear release film 324 are grabbed and peeled sequentially, such that the left front release film 321, the right front release film 322, the left rear release film 323, and the right rear release film 324 can be removed. Since the second protrusion 325 of the left front release film 321 is adjacent to the second protrusion 325 of the left rear release film 323, the second protrusion 325 of the right front release film 322 is also adjacent to the second protrusions 325 of the right rear release film 324, both of the second release film 320 located on the left side of the first release film 310 and the second release film 320 located on the right side of the first release film 310 are removed from the middle to both sides. That is, the leather layer 100 is also adhered onto the smart terminal from the middle to both sides. Such a configuration can further ensure the adhering effect of the leather layer 100.
Further, the leather layer 100 includes a first main body portion configured to be attached to a rear side of the smart terminal and a first surrounding portion configured to be attached to a side of the smart terminal. The positioning release film 300 includes a second main body portion configured to be attached to the first main body portion and a second surrounding side portion configured to be attached to the first surrounding portion. In this embodiment, the second surrounding side portion includes a front side portion located on the front side of the second main body portion, a rear side portion located on the rear side of the second main body portion, a left side portion located on the left side of the second main body portion, and a right side portion located on the right side of the second main body portion. The front side portion includes front side edges of the first release film 310, the left front release film 321, and the right front release film 322. The rear side portion includes rear side edges of the first release film 310, the left rear release film 323, and the right rear release film 324. The left side portion includes left side edges of the left front release film 321 and the left rear release film 323. The right side portion includes right side edges of the right front release film 322 and the right rear release film 324.
Further, the leather layer 100 is provided with a first opening corresponding to at least one of camera, a charging interface, a receiver, a button and the like of the smart terminal. The positioning release film 300 is provided with a second opening 330 corresponding to at least one of the camera, the charging interface, the receiver, the button and the like of the smart terminal. When the protective leather case 10 is adhered to the smart terminal, both the first opening and the second opening 330 can match the aforementioned camera, charging interface, receiver, button and the like, so as to ensure a normal use of the camera, the charging interface, the receiver, the button and the like of the smart terminal.
As shown in
Further, the positioning piece 21 is further provided with a positioning hole 21b that matches the receiver of the smart terminal. The leather layer 100 is provided with a first receiver hole 120 that matches the receiver of the smart terminal. The positioning release film 300 is provided with a second receiver hole 332 that matches the receiver of the smart terminal.
The aforementioned positioning device 20 is to assist the use of the protective leather case 10 provided by the present disclosure during adhering. By providing the positioning boss 21a on the positioning device 20, the first charging interface opening 110 can correspond to the second charging interface opening 331, so as to correspond the position of the protective leather case 10 to the smart terminal. Then, the relative positions of the protective leather case 10 and the smart terminal can be fine adjusted according to the matching of the positioning hole 21b with the first receiver hole 120, the second receiver hole 332, and the receiver of the smart terminal, thus achieving an optimal matching between the protective leather case 10 and the smart terminal.
Further, the positioning device 20 further includes a holding piece 22. A side of the holding piece 22 is fixedly connected to the positioning piece 21. Providing the holding piece 22 can facilitate the use of the positioning device 20. When using the positioning device 20, the user can hold the holding piece 22 of the positioning device 20 to enable the positioning boss 21a of the positioning device 20 to extend through the first charging interface opening 110 and the second charging interface opening 331, so as to position the leather layer 100, the positioning release film 300, and the smart terminal. After roughly fixing the positions of the leather layer 100, the positioning release film 300, and the smart terminal, and the matching of the first receiver hole 120, the second receiver hole 332 and the receiver of the smart terminal is observed through the positioning hole 21b. If it is found that the position of the protective leather case 10 is deviated from the position of the smart terminal, fine adjustments can be performed to ensure that the protective leather case 10 is accurately adhered onto the smart terminal.
Optionally, the positioning device 20 is made of a transparent material, which facilitates the user to observe. Specifically, the positioning device 20 may be made of a transparent plastic sheet, transparent resin or other transparent materials.
