The handle member includes a first and second adhesive sheets fixed to first and second adhesive surfaces of the double-sided adhesive tape. The end portion is provided with a stopper edge portion extending in a direction intersecting a pulling direction at the time of pulling and peeling off. The handle member includes a hooking portion in which the first adhesive sheet and the second adhesive sheet are bonded to each other on the back side of the stopper edge portion in the pulling direction, and that is hooked on the stopper edge portion at the time of pulling and peeling off.

Claims (30)

1 . A tape member comprising:

a double-sided adhesive tape configured to be pulled and peeled off by pulling an end portion thereof; and

a handle member attached to the end portion of the double-sided adhesive tape and configured to be gripped when the double-sided adhesive tape is pulled and peeled off, wherein

the handle member includes:

a first adhesive sheet fixed to a first adhesive surface of the double-sided adhesive tape, and

a second adhesive sheet fixed to a second adhesive surface of the double-sided adhesive tape,

a stopper edge portion, which extends in a direction intersecting a pulling direction when the double-sided adhesive tape is pulled and peeled off, is at the end portion of the double-sided adhesive tape, and

the handle member includes a hooking portion in which the first adhesive sheet and the second adhesive sheet are bonded to each other on a back side of the stopper edge portion in the pulling direction, and the hooking portion is configured to be hooked on the stopper edge portion when the double-sided adhesive tape is pulled and peeled off.

2 . The tape member according to claim 1 , wherein

the stopper edge portion extends along a direction orthogonal to the pulling direction or a direction inclined toward a direction opposite to the pulling direction.

3 . The tape member according to claim 1 , wherein

the double-sided adhesive tape includes a through-hole that extends in a thickness direction, and

the stopper edge portion is an inner peripheral edge portion of the through-hole.

4 . The tape member according to claim 1 , wherein

the stopper edge portion is on left and right sides of the double-sided adhesive tape with a center thereof interposed between the left and right sides, and

the hooking portion is on a back side of each of the left and right stopper edge portions in the pulling direction.

5 . The tape member according to claim 4 , wherein

the left and right stopper edge portions have a symmetrical shape.

6 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a chassis member that includes an inner surface;

a display panel that includes a display surface and a back surface opposite to the display surface that is supported on the inner surface of the chassis member; and

a tape member that includes a double-sided adhesive tape configured to be pulled and peeled off by pulling an end portion thereof, and a handle member attached to the end portion of the double-sided adhesive tape and configured to be gripped when the double-sided adhesive tape is pulled and peeled off, wherein the tape member fixes the back surface of the display panel to the inner surface of the chassis member, wherein

the handle member includes:

a first adhesive sheet fixed to a first adhesive surface of the double-sided adhesive tape, and

a second adhesive sheet fixed to a second adhesive surface of the double-sided adhesive tape,

a stopper edge portion, which extends in a direction intersecting a pulling direction when the double-side adhesive tape is pulled and peeled off, is at the end portion of the double-sided adhesive tape, and

the handle member includes a hooking portion in which the first adhesive sheet and the second adhesive sheet are bonded to each other on a back side of the stopper edge portion in the pulling direction, and the hooking portion is configured to be hooked on the stopper edge portion when the double-sided adhesive tape is pulled and peeled off.

7 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the end portion of the double-sided adhesive tape and the hooking portion of the handle member are between the back surface of the display panel and the inner surface of the chassis member, and

a part of the handle member protrudes to a side of the display panel.
