Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit parts to be received stably in receiving chambers arranged in a plurality of rows and a strip-like part receiving case to be reused by using a pressure-sensitive adhesive material to bond together the part receiving case and a cover tape. CONSTITUTION:A strip-like part receiving case l is composed of a number of receiving chambers la arranged longitudinally in two rows 2 and a cover tape 2 is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive agent 5 along both side edges of the cover tape 2 and the middle thereof. This cover take 2 is attached on the part receiving case by merely applying pressing force thereagainst. Since a longitudinal partition 1b between the receiving chambers 1a arranged in two rows is attached to the cover tape 2, even a thin part 4 is prevented from entering into the other chamber over the partition 1b. Also, since the part receiving case l is not subjected to thermal damage, it can be reused.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a cover tape for a component storage band for storing electronic components, mechanical components, and the like.

(Prior Art) Figures 3 to 5 show cover tapes for conventional component storage belts used when supplying electronic components to a component mounting machine or when supplying mechanical components to a component assembly machine using a robot. This is explained by:

3 and 4 are a perspective view and a front sectional view of a component storage band using a conventional cover tape.

In FIG. 3, the conventional parts storage belt 1 has two parts in the longitudinal direction.
A large number of storage chambers 1a are formed in a row.

Turning to FIG. 4, the cover tape 2 has a heat-adhesive adhesive 3 applied to both edges thereof.

After storing the parts 4 in each storage chamber 1a, the component storage band 1 is made by covering the storage chambers 1a with the cover tape 2 with the side coated with the adhesive 3 facing down, and applying heat to melt the adhesive 3. and releasably adhere.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above configuration, if the thickness of the component 4 indicated by the dimension line H in FIG. There was a problem in that the part 4 could not be held in a stable state over the central partition wall 1b of the part 1. Also, the cover tape 2 is attached to the parts storage band 1 by thermocompression bonding.

There was also the problem that the parts storage belt 1 was damaged by heat and difficult to reuse.

The present invention solves the above problems and provides a cover tape that stably holds components in multiple rows of storage chambers and allows reuse of component storage bands.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides adhesive portions also in multiple rows of partition walls. In addition, adhesive material is used to bond the parts storage band and the cover tape.

(Function) With the above configuration, even when thin components are stored, they can be stably held, and the component storage band is not damaged, so it can be reused.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

1 and 2 are a perspective view and a front sectional view of a component storage band using a cover tape according to the present invention, and the difference between this embodiment and the conventional example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is ,
The adhesive 5 is applied to both edges and the center of the cover tape 2, and the cover tape 2 is also adhered to the partition wall 1b at the center of the component storage band 1. Since the rest is the same as the conventional example, the same components are given the same reference numerals and their explanations will be omitted.

The cover tape 2 configured in this way is attached to the parts storage band 1.
It can be attached by simply pressing it on top.

According to this embodiment, the partition walls 1b of the storage chambers 1a arranged in two rows are adhered to the cover tape 2, so that even the thin parts 4 will not move over the partition walls 1b. Furthermore, the component storage belt 1 is not damaged by heat and can be reused.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, even if a thin component is stored in a component storage band having multiple rows of storage chambers, it can be stably held, and the five-component storage band can be reused. An inexpensive cover tape is available.
