FIG. 1A is a plan view of a component storage carrier tape according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a sectional view taken along line AA. As an example, a coin-type battery 4 is assumed as an example. FIG. 1B shows a state in which the coin battery 4 is accommodated. The carrier tape 5 includes a first carrier tape material 1, a second carrier tape material 2, and a top tape material 3.

  The first carrier tape material 1 made of flexible polystyrene (PS) has a first recess 1 d along the longitudinal direction of the first carrier tape material 1. The 1st recessed part 1d has the bottom part 1e and the side wall 1a which inclined and rose from the bottom part 1e. The bottom 1e is provided with a third recess 1b into which the coin battery 4 is inserted. The third recesses 1 b are formed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the first carrier tape material 1. Moreover, the 1st pilot hole 1c for a feed is provided in the both sides of the 1st carrier tape material 1 along the longitudinal direction at fixed intervals.

  The second carrier tape material 2 having a two-layer structure of polyethylene (PE) and PS has a second recess 2d shallower than the first recess 1d of the first carrier tape material 1 along the longitudinal direction of the second carrier tape material 2. Have The second concave portion 2d has a bottom portion 2e and a side wall 2a having an inclination substantially equal to the inclination angle of the first carrier tape material 1. A hole 2b for inserting the coin battery 4 is provided at the bottom of the second recess 2d. The hole 2b is set to a size such that a portion around the hole 2b can support the coin-type battery 4 in a vertically placed state. Specifically, it is formed slightly larger than the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the thickness direction of the coin-type battery 4.

  Moreover, the 2nd pilot hole 2c for a feed is provided in the both sides of the 2nd carrier tape material 2 along the longitudinal direction at fixed intervals. In the present invention, “vertically placed” refers to a state where the thickness direction of the disk-like or plate-like component is substantially horizontal, and the widest surface perpendicular to the thickness direction is substantially vertical. means.

  The 1st carrier tape material 1 and the 2nd carrier tape material 2 are accumulated so that the 1st crevice 1d and the 2nd crevice 2d may correspond. At this time, since the side wall 1a and the side wall 2a have the same inclination, the first carrier tape material 1 and the second carrier tape material 2 can be overlapped without deviation. Further, since the side wall 1 a is inclined and the upper side is wide, it is easy to insert the second carrier tape material 2 into the first carrier tape material 1. Thus, the side walls 1a and 2a are preferably inclined with respect to the bottom portions 1e and 2e.
