A tool () includes a mold defining a cavity (). The cavity can be for receiving a glass layer (). A floating core insert () can be placed in the cavity to apply a preloading force against a first major face of the glass layer, preclude an overmolding operation on the first major face, and allow overmolding only on minor faces of the glass layer when polymeric material () is injected into runners () of the tool.

Floating core for glass insert molding method and apparatuses therefrom

A tool () includes a mold defining a cavity (). The cavity can be for receiving a glass layer (). A floating core insert () can be placed in the cavity. One or more wedge-shaped backing plates () can translate along a first axis, in response to a servo or other translation engine, to apply a preloading force through the floating core insert against a first major face of the glass layer, preclude an overmolding operation on the first major face, and allow overmolding only on minor faces of the glass layer when polymeric material is injected into the tool.

Arrangements described herein relate to molding of a display screen into a housing of an electronic device. Ad adhesive can be applied to a side of a plastic film to form an adhesion member. The adhesion member can be connected to the display screen, the adhesive bonding to the plastic film to a peripheral region of the display screen. The display screen with the connected adhesion member can be inserted into a housing mold. Plastic resin can be injected into the housing mold to form a housing of the electronic device, the plastic film bonding with the injected plastic resin to secure the display screen into the housing.
