Abstract
Abstract A device for feeding electronic components packed in tape to a pick-up portion, comprising a housing with a holder for a supply reel, a feeding and locking mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a wind-up mechanism, which mechanisms in combination with the housing form a cassette unit. By exchange of a number of exchangeable parts, the cassette unit can be adapted in a comparatively simple manner for processing tapes and components having different dimensions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A device for feeding electronic components packed in tape to a pick-up position, comprising a holder for a supply reel, a feeding and locking mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a wind-up mechanism, characterized by a housing which serves as a common support for the reel holder, the feeding and locking mechanism, the lifting mechanism and the wind-up mechanism and in combination therewith forms an exchangeable cassette unit.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
67 words
A device for feeding electronic components packed in tape to a pick-up position, comprising a holder for a supply reel, a feeding and locking mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a wind-up mechanism, characterized by a housing which serves as a common support for the reel holder, the feeding and locking mechanism, the lifting mechanism and the wind-up mechanism and in combination therewith forms an exchangeable cassette unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
A device as claimed in Claim 1, characterized in that the housing is provided with a support for a supply reel, with a transport channel constituting a guide for a tape carrying components to be supplied, with a bearing for a wind-up reel, with a sliding mechanism, with a feeding pin, with a locking pin and with a lifting pin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
102 words
A device as claimed in Claim 2, characterized in that the sliding mechanism comprises a feeding slide and a driving slide which are positively form-coupled to each other in the feeding direction and are frictionally force-coupled to each other in a direction transverse to the feeding direction, the feeding pin being secured on the feeding slide and the locking pin being secured on a lever which is pivotable about a fixed axis and which co-operates with the feeding slide, while the driving slide is movable in the feeding direction by means of a cam system consisting of cam tracks and cam followers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A device as claimed in Claim 3, characterized in that the cam tracks are provided on exchangeable cam plates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A device as claimed in Claim 3 or 4, characterized in that the feeding slide is provided with guides co- operating with the driving slide, the driving slide and the guides being frictionally pressed against each other by a spring.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
53 words
A device as claimed in Claim 5, characterized in that the driving slide is displaced against the action of the spring during the forward stroke in the feeding direction, the backward stroke taking place under the action of the spring, which simultaneously presses the cam tracks and the cam followers against each other.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
37 words
A device as claimed in any of Claims 2 to 6, characterized in that the sliding mechanism is provided with an abutment arm which co-operates with a driving element of the wind-up mechanism to drive this mechanism.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
78 words
A device as claimed in Claim 7, characterized in that the wind-up mechanism comprises a driving disk on which the driving element is secured, a friction coupling, a driven disk, a reel rim, a .detachable reel flange and a cover plate connected to the housing, a: feeding pawl being provided on the driven disk and a locking pawl being provided on the cover plate, which pawls co-operate with ratchet teeth on the inner periphery of the reel rim.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
24 words
A device as claimed in any one of Claims 1 to 8, characterized in that the reel holder is pivotally mounted on the housing.
