Abstract

Provided is a reel member and an adhesive film winding body capable of suppressing sticking and blocking and preventing falling off. A real member includes: a winding core 3 around which an adhesive film 2 is to be wound; a pair of reel flanges 4 provided on both sides of the winding core 3 ; and a plurality of ribs 5 formed on an inner surface 4 a of the reel flange 4 , protruding from the inner surface 4 a , and extending from the center side to the peripheral edge side of the reel flange 4 , wherein in the rib 5 , a rib top width W 1 in contact with the adhesive film 2 is narrower than a rib base width W 2 in contact with the inner surface 4 a in cross-sectional view.

Claims (39)

1. A reel member, comprising:

a winding core around which an adhesive film is to be wound;

a pair of reel flanges provided on both sides of the winding core; and

a plurality of ribs formed on an inner surface of at least one reel flange of the pair of reel flanges, protruding from the inner surface, and extending from a center side to a peripheral edge side of the at least one reel flange,

wherein at least one rib of the plurality of ribs has a top portion and a base portion and a width of the top portion of the at least one rib in contact with the adhesive film is narrower than a width of the base portion of the at least one rib in contact with the inner surface in cross-sectional view,

and wherein the at least one rib of the plurality of ribs extends to a position facing the winding core, and

wherein the at least one rib comprises a section capable of facing the wound adhesive film and a section extending to a position facing the winding core, wherein a height and cross-sectional shape of the section capable of facing the wound adhesive film are different from a height and cross-sectional shape of the section extending to a position facing the winding core.

2. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one rib has a height greater than 0.01 mm and less than 0.1 mm.

3. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one rib has an inclined surface from the base portion to the top portion, and the inclined surface has an inclination angle of 2 to 45°.

4. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein the top portion of the at least one rib has a width of 0.10 mm to 0.80 mm.

5. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein a number of the ribs extending to the position facing the winding core is less than the total number of the ribs.

6. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the reel flanges is transparent.

7. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein the reel member is prepared by steps comprising:

separately molding the winding core and each of the reel flanges; and

attaching the reel flanges to the winding core.

8. The reel member according to claim 7 , wherein the step of attaching comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of ultrasonic welding, impulse welding, the use of an adhesive and the use of an adhesive film.

9. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein (a) at least first one of the plurality of ribs extends only to a position facing the winding core and (b) at least second one of the plurality of ribs extends only to a position capable of facing the wound adhesive film, wherein a height and cross-sectional shape of the at least first one of the plurality of ribs (a) are different from a height and cross-sectional shape of the at least second one of the plurality of ribs (b).

10. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein the winding core comprises an insertion hole in a central portion thereof,

wherein the insertion hole is configured such that a rotating device for driving the reel member may be inserted therein, and

wherein none of the plurality of ribs extending to a position facing the winding core extend to the insertion hole.

11. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of reel flanges are formed in a disk shape, and

wherein the at least one of the plurality of ribs extending to a position facing the winding core is a portion protruded from the inner surface of the at least one reel flange of the pair of reel flanges.

12. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive film comprises a base film and an adhesive layer supported by the base film, and the base film and the adhesive layer are separable.

13. The reel member according to claim 1 , wherein the winding core and at least one of the reel flanges are fixed by welding.

14. A method for manufacturing the reel member according to claim 1 comprising

creating a first molded product comprising one reel flange in the pair of reel flanges and at least a part of the winding core;

creating a second molded product comprising an other reel flange in the pair of reel flanges; and

combining the first and second molded products to form the reel member.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the step of combining the first and the second molded products comprises welding the first molded product to the second molded product.

16. A method of confirming in the reel member according to claim 1 a difference in the height and cross-sectional shape of the section capable of facing the wound adhesive film and the height and cross-sectional shape of the section extending to a position facing the winding core, comprising: applying a releasable liquid adhesive to the at least one reel flange, pressing a flat glass plate onto the releasable liquid adhesive, releasing the flat glass plate after curing, and then measuring a transferred product.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the at least one rib has a height greater than 0.01 mm and less than 0.1 mm.

18. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the at least one rib has an inclined surface from the base portion to the top portion, and the inclined surface has an inclination angle of 2 to 45°.

19. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the top portion of the at least one rib has a width of 0.10 mm to 0.80 mm.

20. An adhesive film winding body, comprising: a reel member comprising a winding core around which a tape-like adhesive film is to be wound, and a pair of reel flanges provided on both sides of the winding core; and

a wound film formed by winding the tape-like adhesive film around the winding core,

wherein the reel member is a reel member according to claim 1 .

21. The adhesive film winding body according to claim 20 , wherein the tape-like adhesive film has a width of 0.6 mm or less.

22. The adhesive film winding body according to claim 20 , wherein the tape-like adhesive film is wound by 350 m or more.

23. The reel member according to claim 20 , wherein the tape-like adhesive film comprises a base film and an adhesive layer supported by the base film, and the base film and the adhesive layer are separable.
