Abstract
Abstract This invention provides for increased precision position adjustment for carrier film supported micro-packs in which the carrier film has applied thereto a conductive pattern producing a contact array emminating from a function unit such as a microchip carried by the carrier film. Precise adjustment of the conductive pattern relative to the terminals of the function unit is provided for by arranging the carrier film as a film having the width of, for example, standard cinema film (35 mm), but however using the marginal film transport perforations of a miniature film (8 mm) and in addition providing two adjustment openings per contact array which have larger dimensions equivalent to the transport dimensions of the cinema film.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A carrier film for use in the manufacture of electronic micro-packs having contact arrays comprising a film having marginal edge perforations along each edge longitudinal side thereof, the marginal perforations being substantially of the dimension and spacing of transport perforations for narrow gauge film, at least two adjustment openings through the carrier film, the adjustment openings being positioned on opposite sides of the film normal to the transport direction of the film, the adjustment openings being positioned and dimensioned substantially according to position and size standards for cinema film transport perforations, at least one pair of said adjustment openings being provided for each contact array area of the carrier film.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A carrier film according to claim 1, wherein the adjustment openings are positioned centrally relative to adjacent marginal perforation openings.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
Film carrier according to claim 2, wherein the adjustment openings are disposed centrally relative to a structural center line of the conductive array, the center line lying normal to the transport direction of the film.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
117 words
A carrier film for production of electronic micro-packs, comprising a film strip having marginal perforations along each longitudinal side edge of the film strip, the marginal perforations being dimensioned and spaced substantially according to standards for narrow gauge films, a plurality of contact array areas along the longitudinal length of said strip, at least one pair of adjustment openings for each contact array area, one of the adjustment openings of each pair lying adjacent each of the longitudinal edges of said film on opposite sides of the contact array area, said adjustment openings dimensioned and positioned on said film strip substantially in accordance with standard dimensions and positions of marginal transport perforations for wide gauge cinema film.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
117 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
A carrier film according to claim 4, wherein substantially the entirety of the adjustment openings are positioned inwardly towards the longitudinal center of the film strip from the marginal perforations.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
