Zusammenfassung:A machine (800) can comprise a base (810); a carriage (830) comprising a first cradle (832) configured to securely hold a first electronic device and an alignment base (835) configured to engage with an alignment mechanism (115) of an overlay applicator; and a handle assembly (850) comprising a handle (855) and a pulling mechanism (856) configured to engage with a pull tab (150) of the overlay applicator. The machine (800) is configured such that the handle assembly (850) can be pulled in a first direction relative to the base (810) from a first handle position to a second handle position. The machine (800) is configured such that when the handle assembly (850) is moved from the first handle position to the second handle position, the carriage (830) moves in a second direction relative to the base (810) from a first carriage position to a second carriage position, wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction. The machine (800) is configured such that when (a) the alignment base (835) is engaged with the alignment mechanism (115) of the overlay applicator, (b) the pulling mechanism (856) is engaged with the pull tab of the overlay applicator, (c) the first cradle (832) is holding the first electronic device, and (d) the handle assembly (850) is pulled in the first direction relative to the base (810) from the first handle position to the second handle position, an adhesive release liner (140, FIG. 1) of the overlay applicator is removed from an overlay (130, FIG. 1) of the overlay applicator starting at a leading edge of the overlay (130) and continuing to a trailing edge of the overlay (130) to expose an adhesive agent of the overlay (130) to a screen of the first electronic device. Other embodiments are provided.
