Abstract

Abstract Small-size electronic parts having leads are packaged with a carrier tape composed of a tape base having tape feed holes and a tape body of electrically conductive or nonconductive formed plastic attached to one side of the tape base. The carrier tape is unreeled from a supply reel, and the leads of the electronic parts are caused to pierce an upper surface and one side or both sides of the tape body. The carrier tape with the electronic parts retained on the tape body is wound around a takeup reel. With the method of the invention, small-side electronic parts with long leads can easily be packaged with a tape, the packaged electronic parts can easily be shipped and stored, and the electronic parts can easily be detached form the carrier tape.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 77 words
A method for packaging small-size electronic parts having leads with a carrier tape composed of a tape base having tape feed holes and a tape body of foamed plastic attached to one side of the tape base, comprising the steps of: (a) causing the leads of the electronic parts to pierce at least one side of the tape body; and (b) winding the carrier tape with the electronic parts retained on the tape body around a reel.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 77 words
A method for packaging small-size electronic parts having leads with a carrier tape composed of a tape base having tape feed holes and a tape body of foamed plastic attached to one side of the tape base, comprising the steps of: (a) causing the leads of the electronic parts to pierce at least one side of the tape body; and (b) winding the carrier tape with the electronic parts retained on the tape body around a reel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
