Abstract The present invention discloses a cover-tape peeling apparatus for a tape feeder for peeling a cover tape released from a tape having a number of chip-like electronic parts sealed therein in a substantially equally spaced relation to wind and receive it into a reel. The apparatus comprises a first arm rotatably supported on a first shaft stood upright on a base of the tape feeder and having a ratchet meshed with a gear tooth formed in the outer peripheral portion of the peeling reel, a second arm having a cam portion in engagement with a cam portion provided on the first arm and rotatably supported on a second shaft, an arm push-down member in contact with the second arm to push down and rotate the second arm, and an urging body extended between both the arms and for rotating the first arm in response to the rotation of the second arm rotated by the arm push-down member so that the peeling reel is rotated through the ratchet.
A cover-tape peeling apparatus for a tape feeder for peeling a cover tape released from a tape having a number of chip-like electronic parts sealed therein in a substantially equally spaced relation to wind and receive it into a peeling reel, the apparatus comprising: a first arm rotatably supported on a first shaft stood perpendicularly to a plane of a base of said tape feeder and having ratchet meshed with a gear tooth formed in the outer peripheral portion of said peeling reel; a second arm having a cam portion in engagement with a cam portion provided on said first arm and rotatably supported on a second shaft, an arm push-down member in contact with said second arm to push down and rotate the second arm; and an urging body extended between both said arms and for rotating the first arm in response to the rotation of said second arm rotated by said arm push-down member so that said peeling reel is rotated by means of the ratchet whereby said cover tape is peeled from said tape having a number of chip-like electronic parts sealed therein.
