Abstract

A package of electrical and/or electronic components such as capacitors and resistors comprises a strip-shaped carrier 3 formed with apertures 5 which are uniformly spaced along the carrier for accommodating the components. The carrier is also formed with a row of feed perforations 7 by which the package can be fed along in a feed machine. The components are loosely positioned in the apertures and are retained therein by tapes 9, 11 and 17, 15 which are made of paper, for example, and which are glued to each side of the carrier so as partially to cover the apertures. The components are removed from the apertures by applying pressure to the components on one side thereof so as to press them through the space between the tapes at the other side. This tears these tapes, which may be locally slit (19) to facilitate tearing. In alternative embodiments, the apertures are completely covered on one side of the carrier by a single tape which may be imperforate, provided with openings coincident with apertures 5, or formed with slits (27) at the areas of the apertures to enable components to be pressed through the tape. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Package for Electrical and/or Electronic Components The invention relates to a package for electrical and/or electronic components, comprising a stripshaped carrier formed with apertures which are uniformly spaced along the carrier and which serve to accommodate the components, and with at least one row of feed perforations, said apertures being at least partly closed on at least one side of the carrier.
A package of this kind is known from United States Patent Specification 3,608,711. The carrier of this known package, which is suitable for the feeding and processing of plate-shaped or block-shaped components, is provided on one side with a tape with an adhesive layer, which tape covers the apertures in the carrier, the components can thus be positioned in the apertures, where they are retained by adhesion to the adhesive layer. Because the apertures are open on one side of the carrier, the components are freely accessible from this side. However, gripping the components for further processing causes problems, since because of their adhesion to the tape they have to be lifted or pressed out of the apertures with some force.A further problem consists in that adhesive from the adhesive layer on the tape is liable to remain on the electrical contact faces of the components, which can present problems when the components are soldered to a substrate.
According to the invention there is provided a package for electrical and/or electronic components, comprising a strip-shaped carrier formed with apertures which are uniformly spaced along the carrier and which serve to accommodate the components, and with at least one row of feed perforations, said apertures being at least partly closed on at least one side of the carrier, wherein the components are loosely positioned within the apertures against the closure on said one side of the carrier, and the carrier is provided on the other side with at least one tape which at least partially covers each of the apertures.
An important feature of the package in accordance with the invention is that the components are loosely positioned in the apertures, so that there is no risk of adhesive remaining on the electrical contact faces of the components.
In one embodiment of the invention the carrier is provided on said other side with two tapes, each of which partially covers each of the apertures and which are spaced from each other.
In order to ensure that the components can be readily pressed out of the apertures, the tapes are provided with notches or slits in their edges which face one another, the notches or slits being located in those portions of the tapes which cover the apertures. These notches or slits facilitate local tearing of the tapes when pressure is exerted on the components, so that the components can readily pass between the tapes.
In a further embodiment the carrier is provided on said other side with a tape having a width which exceeds the dimension of the apertures measured transversely of the carrier, and the tape is provided with slits in those portions of the tape which cover the apertues in order to facilitate tearing of the tape when pressure is exerted on the components in the apertures to eject them from the apertures. An effective closure of the apertures on said other side of the carrier is thus achieved, while the components can still be easily pressed through the sealing tape. The slits may be arranged in patterns which may have a variety of shapes.
The closing of the apertures on said one side of the carrier can be effected in a variety of ways. In one embodiment of the invention the closure is provided by a tape which adheres to the carrier and which fully covers each of the apertures. The components then have to be pressed out of the apertures by means of a needle-shaped ejector which pierces the tape. A perforated tape may alternatively be used, but some problems are then encountered during the positioning of the tape because always the perforations each have to register with an aperture. In order to avoid these problems, in a further embodiment of the invention the closing on said one side of the carrier is provided by two tapes which are glued to the carrier and are spaced from each other and each of which partially covers each of the apertures.The central portion of each component remains free of the two tapes so that a force can be exerted on the component between the tapes to press the component out of the respective aperture. An advantage of the package in accordance with the invention consists in that it can be used in machines which press the components through the tape as well as in machines which first remove the tape from the carrrier and subsequently remove the components from the apertures.
Embodiments of the invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figures 1 to 4 are a perspective view, an underneath view, a longitudinal sectional view and a transverse sectional view, respectively, of a portion of a package in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. Signal 4 being taken on the line lV-lV in Figure 1, Figures 5 and 6 are perspective views of portions of packages according to two further embodiments of the invention, Figure 7 is an underneath view of a portion of a package according to yet another embodiment of the invention, and Figure 8 is a view similar to Figure 7, but drawn to a larger scale, showing some alternative modifications of the embodiment of Figure 7.
The package 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4 comprises a strip-shaped carrier 3 which is formed with apertures 5 which are regularly spaced along the carrier and which serve to accommodate electrical and/or electronic components 13.
The carrier 3 is also formed with a row of feed perforations 7 by means of which the package can be fed along in a filling orfeed machine.
The carrier 3 is provided on its upper side with two tapes 9 and 11 which are spaced from each other and each of which partially covers each of the apertures 5. The tapes 9 and 11 are fixed to the carrier 3, for example by providing the carrier 3 and the tapes 9 and 11 with an adhesive layer such that the tapes can be glued to the carrier by pressing, for example.
The components 13 can subsequently be placed in the apertures 5 after which the lower side of the carrier 3 is provided, in the same way as the upper side, with two tapes 15 and 17 which also each partially cover each of the apertures 5. The components 13 are then neatly and loosely located within the apertures 5. In order to remove the components 13 from the package, an ejector in the form of a needle or finger (not shown) can be inserted between the two tapes 9 and 11 to press the components out of the apertures 5 through the space between the tapes 1 5 and 17. This will probably tear the inner edges of the tapes 1 5 and 1 7 where they extend across the apertures 5. In order to facilitate tearing, the tapes 15 and 17 are provided with regularly spaced notches or slits 19 in these edges.
Thus, a package for electrical and/or electronic components is obtained which permits safe feeding and smooth processing of the components.
Instead of the two tapes 9 and 11, the upper side of the carrier 3 may alternatively be provided with a single imperforate tape 21, as shown in Figure 5, or with a single tape 23 which is perforated, as shown in Figure 6, for the passage of an ejector finger. If an imperforate tape 21 is used, the ejector finger should be constructed so that it can pierce the tape. This tape can also be used in machines which first peel off the tape 21 or23 and subsequently remove the components from the apertures for further processing.
The lower side of the package in Figures 5 and 6 may be similar to the lower side in Figures 1 to 4.
Figure 7 shows an embodiment in which the lower side of the carrier, that is, the side where the components are pressed from the apertures 5 in the carrier, is provided with a single adhesive tape 25 which is formed with an H-shaped pattern of slits 27 at the area of each of the apertures 5 in order to ensure easy passage and possibly further tearing of the tape 25 when the components are pressed out of the apertures.
The distance between adjacent H-shaped patterns of slits, measured between the nearest slits of the adjacent patterns, is larger than the length of the portion 29 of the carrier 3 between the apertures 5 measured longitudinally of the carrier. Thus, at least one slit of each pattern will always be situated over an aperture 5, thus ensuring easy tearing of the tape.
Instead of the H-shaped patterns of slits shown in Fig. 7, other patterns can alternatively be employed. Figure 8 shows by way of example a selection of feasible patterns of slits 28. A common feature of all these patterns of slits is that they leave the tape strong enough normally to retain the components within the apertures in the carrier whilst allowing the components to be pressed through the tape when a pressure is exerted on the components from the opposite side of the carrier.
The package in accordance with the invention is particularly suitable for plate-shaped or blockshaped electrical and/or electronic components which do not have the customary lead wires and which have small dimensions of the order of a few millimetres, such as capacitors, resistors, transistors etc. The package can also be used for components having short connection wires.
The strip-shaped carrier 3 may be made of paper, cardboard or a synthetic resin material. The tapes 9,11,15,17,21,23 and 25 may be made of much thinner material than the carrier 3.
Flexible materials such as paper and synthetic resin material are suitable for this purpose.
