Abstract:
This application relates to methods and apparatus relating to an adhesive bond that includes an integrated release mechanism. The adhesive bond can secure components in a portable electronic device, such as a battery, to the housing of the portable electronic device. The release mechanism can be embodied as a thin layer of polymeric material sandwiched between a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer. The first and second adhesive layers are joined to one another by a number of pillars that extend through openings in the release mechanism. A portion of the release mechanism can protrude from the adhesive bond allowing a technician or user to pull the release mechanism out of the adhesive bond, which severs the pillars that hold the adhesive layers together. In this way, the release mechanism allows for efficient separation of the adhesively secured components.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for gluing a fastening element on a carrier component of an automobile, wherein the fastening element comprises a contact surface for gluing onto the carrier component and at least one fastening section facing away from the contact surface, wherein on the fastening section a component to be fastened on the carrier component can be fastened, with the steps: a contact glue for preliminarily holding the fastening element on the carrier component is applied to a first area of the contact surface, a permanent glue for permanently holding the fastening element on the carrier component is applied to a second, different area of the contact surface, the fastening element is placed onto the carrier component with its contact surface, whereby the contact glue preliminarily holds the fastening element on the carrier component until the permanent glue is hardened and thus permanently holds the fastening element on the carrier component. The invention further relates to a corresponding fastening element.
Abstract:
The present invention may relate to provision of a mechanism to join together the various substrate layers of a flexible display with optically clear adhesives that permit improved flexibility of the substrate layer stack and may also optically guide images to locations on a display surface that are not aligned with the display layer of a substrate layer stack. Embodiments of the present invention may provide for an improved user interface which may include enhanced flexibility and enhanced optical characteristics.

Abstract:
Provided is an adhesive layer-equipped transparent surface material that can easily be bonded to another surface material (such as a display panel) and that, when bonded to another surface material, is less likely to have voids left at the interface between the adhesive layer and another surface material. An adhesive layer-equipped transparent surface material 1 comprises an adhesive layer 14 formed on at least one surface of a protective plate 10 (a transparent surface material), wherein the adhesive layer 14 has a layer portion 18 spreading over the surface of the protective plate 10 and a barrier portion 20 surrounding the periphery of the layer portion 18; and the layer portion 18 is made of a cured product of a layer portion-forming curable resin composition comprising a curable compound (II) and a non-curable oligomer (D).
Abstract:
The installation system and method for installing an architectural covering material to a substrate surface utilizes an adhesive mat having layers of adhesive and release layers arranged to allow the covering material to be initially positioned, and later repositioned to be permanently set. The adhesive mat includes a planar carrier member, one or more adhesive layers on at least one planar side of the planar carrier member, and at least one release layer of material removably covering the one or more adhesive layers. In one form, the adhesive mat includes a carrier sheet, first and second adhesive layers on opposing planar sides of the carrier sheet, and first and second release layers of material removably covering the two adhesive layers.
Abstract:
A process, apparatus, and system for joining at least two work pieces together using at least two adhesives each having substantially different cure times. A first adhesive having a first cure time is used to form a first bond between the two workpieces, the first adhesive having a first cure time. A second adhesive having a second cure time, the second cure time being substantially shorter than the first cure time is used to form a fixturing bond. The fixturing bond maintaining the first and second workpieces in position prior to the first adhesive curing.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an anisotropic conductive film with two or more adhesive resins simultaneously formed thereon, such that the two or more adhesive resins are simultaneously formed on a substrate of a flat panel display so as to connect various kinds of devices and flexible circuit boards thereto, thereby reducing the size of a non-display region of the substrate and reducing the number of steps of a manufacturing process. Moreover, with the use of an anisotropic conductive film with two layers of adhesive resins with different conductive particles, an excellent bonding force thereof enables a device or flexible circuit board to be stably mounted on a narrow area.
