Abstract

The method consists in sequence of the following steps: a) cutting of the leather by press, b) sewing into the leather, c) bevelling of the cut boards with the moulds, d) colouration of the cut borders, e) possible addition of ornamental stones onto the leather surface, f) bonding onto the outside surface of the pc-tablet of the leather or the similar material, and g) drying.

Description

"BONDING METHOD OF LEATHER ONTO PC-TABLETS".

The invention refers to a new method to apply leather onto a pc-tablet and to the new obtained product. In the known art the pc-tablets are inserted into housing consisting of leather, cloth, rubber or similar covers. But, the covers already known go to wrap entirely the pc-tablet, except of course the display, with worsening of the data transmission system. The indoor antenna for the connection with internet or WI.FI so has one more hurdle to overcome, given indeed to the leather or similar cover that contain and wrap the telematic device. Moreover, the covers currently in use are not steady fixed to the pc-tablet. This determines the possibility that the pc- tablet coming off to the cover and it may be damaged, with disastrous consequences in case of fall. Other disadvantage of the known covers consists in the overheating caused to the covers that wrap the pc-tablet. The invented method comes to solve the above cited disadvantages such us it permits a partial covering of the device which does not complete cover the same device and permits to the indoor antennas for the internet connection to connect more easily and reducing energy consumption of the battery. At the same time, being then the coating to the pc-tablet fixed in stable way to the device, it is impossible a fall for detachment of the cover. Other advantage provided to the invention method consists in that it permits a better cooling of the device, with a better working of the C.P.U. and of the circuits. The partial covering, in fact, permits better cooling of the electronic circuits in comparison with the covers that, instead, entirely wrap the device. These and other advantages and aims of the invented method are more evident to the following detailed description and to the enclosed drawings, wherein the invented method is illustrated in a merely indicative way and such as not limited. In particular figure 1 is view of the cutting step of the leather by presses with moulds of sizes and measures in relation to the pc-tablet to be wrapped. Figure 2 is view of a part of leather already cut with moulds wherein the sewing is being arranged. The figure 3 is view of the bevel step onto the boards. The figure 4 is view of the coloration step of the bevelled boards of the same colour of the leather colour. Finally figure 5 is view of the ended device. In a preferred embodiment but not exclusive the bonding method for pc-tablet of the invented method consists in sequence of the following steps: a) cutting of the leather by press, b) sewing into the leather, c) bevelling of the cut boards with the moulds, d) colouration of the cut borders, e) possible addition of ornamental stones onto the leather surface, f) bonding onto the outside surface of the pc-tablet of the leather or the similar material, and g) drying step. In step a) the tanned leather 1 is put onto plane wherein metallic moulds 3, placed between a press 2 and a plane 4, actuate the cutting of the, same with boards 5 perpendicular to the upper 6 and under 7 layers. In step b) onto the parts 9 of the cut to size leather, in relation to the dimension of the pc-tablet onto which the parts are to be bonded, sewing 8 is realized to obtain an assembled effect between the leather parts 9 and the containment body 10 of the pc-tablet, i.e. of the case, wherein the leather part 9 seems sewn directly onto the parts in plastic or aluminium whose form the case 10 of the pc-tablet. In step c) the boards 5 are rounded with suitable device able to smooth the upper edges 1 outside of the leather part 9; this working is arranged so to have not sharp edges onto the surface of the pc-tablet. In step d) the arranged boards 5 obtained from the part 9 in cutting to size leather and bevelled are coloured to have a chromatic effect and to have not parts subject to absorption of liquids, such as the hand sweat, or to be dirty in the use. In step e) onto the leather part 9 can be applied, if requested, ornamental stones 12, such as Swarovski crystals, with aesthetic function and technical function such as they improve the gripping of the device. In step f) the leather obtained in the previous steps is then bonded to the device with heat holding glues 13, such as the glue known in commerce as neoprene. The overheating of the pc-tablet during the working and in recharging phase make it necessary the use of heat holding glues, wherein any overheatings do not determine the detachment of the part 9 in leather or similar. In the last step g) the manufacturing is dry. At the end of said drying the perfect bondings in the correct positions, the complete bounding of the leather part onto the pc-tablet and any defects are checked, such as the presence of air bubbles or crooked bondings. The obtained product at the end of the different steps has only parts of the device wrapped, so improving the internet connection and the circuit cooling, in particular of the microprocessor and of the socket device. The invented method is possible of different modifications and variants all part of the inventive object. All the technical details can be changed with others technically equivalent without going out to the protection field stated to the claims.
