Adhesive layer application and removal device for wearable hardware

An adhesive layer applicator for a body-mountable device, the applicator comprising:

• a housing defining an opening through which a chamber is accessible;
• and
• a plurality of adhesive layers and a plurality of adhesive liners alternately stacked on a floor that is movable within the chamber;
• wherein the size and shape of the opening corresponds to the size and shape of the body-mountable device;
• wherein the housing is configured to receive at least a portion of the body-mountable device through the opening;
• wherein a footprint of the plurality of adhesive layers is smaller than a footprint of the plurality of adhesive liners;
• and
• wherein a spacer is positioned between two consecutive adhesive liners and offset from each of the adhesive layers.

An apparatus comprising:

• a body-mountable device comprising an upper housing coupled to a lower housing;
• and
• an adhesive applicator comprising:
• a housing forming an internal chamber and a first opening through which the chamber is accessible;
• a spring-loaded floor that moves between a floor of the chamber and the first opening;
• and
• a plurality of adhesive layers and a plurality of adhesive liners alternately stacked on the spring-loaded floor;
• wherein the size and shape of the first opening corresponds to the size and shape of the lower housing of the body-mountable device;
• wherein the first opening is configured to receive the lower housing of the body-mountable device;
• wherein the body-mountable device further comprises a thermal contact extending from the lower housing;
• wherein a second opening is formed in an uppermost adhesive layer in the plurality of adhesive layers;
• and
• wherein the thermal contact aligns with and extends within the second opening of the uppermost adhesive layer when the first opening receives the lower housing of the body-mountable device.
