Storage body and reel
View Patent ↗The storage body includes a tape formed with recess portions that dip in in a thickness direction formed at intervals along the tape length direction and a cover that is superimposed on the tape and closes off openings of the recess portions. The tape is fixed to the tape by intermediate fixing portions and a pair of side fixing portions. The intermediate fixing portions are formed between the mutually adjacent recess portions. The pair of side fixing portions include overlapping portions and connect portions. The overlapping portions are formed at the two tape width direction sides of the intermediate fixing portions so as to overlap with the intermediate fixing portions along the tape length direction. The connect portions are formed with constant width connecting together the respective overlapping portions disposed in lines along the tape length direction.
1. A storage body comprising:
a tape formed with recess portions that dip in in a tape thickness direction and are formed at intervals along the tape length direction;
a cover that is superimposed on the tape and closes off openings of the recess portions;
intermediate fixing portions that fix together the tape and the cover and are formed between mutually adjacent recess portions of the recess portions, the intermediate fixing portion having a tape width direction width that increases on progression from one of the mutually adjacent recess portions towards an intermediate portion between the mutually adjacent recess portions and that decreases on progression from the intermediate portion towards the other mutually adjacent recess portion; and
a pair of side fixing portions that fix together the tape and the cover and include
overlapping portions that are formed at the two tape width direction sides of the intermediate portions overlapping with the intermediate portions along the tape length direction, the overlapping portions having tape width direction widths that decrease on progression from one of the mutually adjacent recess portions towards an intermediate portion between the mutually adjacent recess portions and that increase on progression from the intermediate portion towards the other mutually adjacent recess portion, and
connect portions formed with a constant tape width direction width and connecting together the overlapping portions disposed in lines along the tape length direction, wherein
the total width of the intermediate portions and the pair of overlapping portions is equivalent to the total width of the pair of connect portions.
2. The storage body of claim 1 , wherein the overlapping portions include discontinuous locations at locations where the width of the overlapping portions is at a minimum.
3. The storage body of claim 1 , wherein locations of the intermediate portion on the recess portion sides are tapered to points on progression towards the adjacent recess portions.
4. The storage body of claim 3 , wherein the plan view profile of the intermediate portions is diamond shaped.
5. The storage body of claim 3 further comprising fixing reinforcement portions that are formed at leading end portions of locations of the intermediate portion on the recess portion sides and that reinforce fixing between the tape and the cover.
6. A reel comprising:
a real body;
a storage body wound on the reel body; and
electronic components stored in a respective recess portions of the storage body, wherein
the storage body includes;
a tape formed with recess portions that dip in in a tape thickness direction and are formed at intervals along the tape length direction;
a cover that is superimposed on the tape and closes off openings of the recess portions;
intermediate fixing portions that fix together the tape and the cover and are formed between mutually adjacent recess portions of the recess portions, the intermediate fixing portion having a tape width direction width that increases on progression from one of the mutually adjacent recess portions towards an intermediate portion between the mutually adjacent recess portions and that decreases on progression from the intermediate portion towards the other mutually adjacent recess portion; and
a pair of side fixing portions that fix together the tape and the cover and include
overlapping portions that are formed at the two tape width direction sides of the intermediate portions overlapping with the intermediate portions along the tape length direction, the overlapping portions having tape width direction widths that decrease on progression from one of the mutually adjacent recess portions towards an intermediate portion between the mutually adjacent recess portions and that increase on progression from the intermediate portion towards the other mutually adjacent recess portion, and
connect portions formed with a constant tape width direction width and connecting together the overlapping portions disposed in lines along the tape length direction, wherein
the total width of the intermediate portions and the pair of overlapping portions is equivalent to the total width of the pair of connect portions.
