Abstract
Abstract A pull-raising member (2A) and pull-raising unit (2) for peeling a thin (1D) film from a base plate such as a printed circuit board or the like having an improved average throughout rate. The pull-raising member (2A) includes a plurality of pull-raising blades (2Aa; 2Ab) disposed substantially parallel to an end of the thin film (1D). In the pull-raising unit (2) in which the pull-raising member (2A) is employed, an elastic member (2C), which is employed to bring the pull-raising blades (2Aa; 2Ab) of the pull-raising member (2A) into contact with the base plate, is interposed between the pull-raising member (2A) and an attaching member (2D) to slide the pull-raising member (2A) in such directions as to move into and out of contact with the base plate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
In an apparatus including a pull-raising member (2A) for pull-raising an end of a thin film (1D) adhered to a base plate to peel said thin film off of said base plate, the improvements characterized by: a plurality of pull-raising blades (2Aa, 2Ab) mounted to said pull-raising member and disposed substantially parallel to said end of said thin film, and an elastic member (2C) disposed to act in a direction to urge said pull-raising blades into contact with said base plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
In an apparatus including a pull-raising member (2A) for pull-raising an end of a thin film (1D) adhered to a base plate to peel said thin film off of said base plate, the improvements characterized by: a plurality of pull-raising blades (2Aa, 2Ab) mounted to said pull-raising member and disposed substantially parallel to said end of said thin film, and an elastic member (2C) disposed to act in a direction to urge said pull-raising blades into contact with said base plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
115 words
A pull-raising unit (2) for pull-raising an end of a thin film (1D) adhered to a base plate to peel said film off of said base plate, comprising: a pull-raising member (2A) having a plurality of pull-raising blades (2Aa, 2Ab) disposed substantially parallel to said end of said thin film; and an elastic member (2C) disposed to act in a direction to urge said pull-raising blades of said pull-raising member into contact with said base plate, said elastic member being interposed between said pull-raising member and an attaching member (2D) to enable said pull-raising member to slide in such direction as to move said pull-raising member into and out of contact with said base plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
115 words
A pull-raising unit (2) for pull-raising an end of a thin film (1D) adhered to a base plate to peel said film off of said base plate, comprising: a pull-raising member (2A) having a plurality of pull-raising blades (2Aa, 2Ab) disposed substantially parallel to said end of said thin film; and an elastic member (2C) disposed to act in a direction to urge said pull-raising blades of said pull-raising member into contact with said base plate, said elastic member being interposed between said pull-raising member and an attaching member (2D) to enable said pull-raising member to slide in such direction as to move said pull-raising member into and out of contact with said base plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
66 words
The pull-raising unit according to the claim 2, wherein said attaching member is secured to a rotary support shaft (3A) which moves said pull-raising blades of said pull-raising member in such direction as to come into contact with and move out of contact with said base plate, and which rotates said pull-raising blades in such direction as to pull-raise said thin film from said base plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said pull-raising member is mounted to one end of a vertically oriented support post (2B), and another, opposite end of said support post is slidably mounted to an attaching member (2D).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said thin film is adhered to said base plated via an intermediate film and said base plate is stronger than an adhesive bond between said thin film and said intermediate film.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
An apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said base plate is electrically insulating and is overlaid with an electroconductive layer (1B) to form a printed circuit board, and said intermediate film is adhered to said electroconductive layer.
