Abstract
A method for covering a solid body with a surface layer and covering the surface layer with an adhesive film includes applying the surface layer to the solid body, increasing a surface energy on an exterior of the surface layer in at least one area on which the adhesive film is to be applied such that the molecular structures on the exterior of the surface layer in that at least one area are temporarily fragmented, and bonding the adhesive film to the exterior of the surface layer in the at least one area while the molecular structures are temporarily fragmented in the at least one area.
Claims12
An apparatus for covering an indicating instrument, comprising:
- a solid body forming a cover screen for covering the indicating instrument;
- a surface layer comprising a scratch-resistant coating applied to said solid body and having an exterior;
- and
- an adhesive film bonded to at least a portion of said exterior of said surface layer, wherein said adhesive film is bonded to said at least a portion of said extension while the molecular structure of said at least a portion of said exterior of said surface layer is temporarily fragmented in response to an increase in surface energy in said at least a portion of said exterior of said surface layer.
