Tape member and electronic apparatus
A tape member of an electronic apparatus includes: double-sided adhesive tape having a releasable property by stretching; and a sheet-shaped handle member connected to the double-sided adhesive tape, a user holding the handle member when stretch-releasing the double-sided adhesive tape. The handle member is wound around the double-sided adhesive tape in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the double-sided adhesive tape.
1 . A tape member, comprising:
double-sided adhesive tape having a releasable property by stretching; and
a sheet-shaped handle member connected to the double-sided adhesive tape, wherein the handle member is configured to enable a user to hold the handle member when stretch-releasing the double-sided adhesive tape,
wherein the handle member is wound around the double-sided adhesive tape in a direction that intersects a longitudinal direction of the double-sided adhesive tape,
wherein a distal portion of the handle member is bonded, via an adhesive layer, to another portion of the handle member to constitute a bonded portion that is outside of side edges of the double-sided adhesive tape.
2 . The tape member according to claim 1 , wherein
the double-sided adhesive tape has a recess that is a cutout in at least one of a pair of side edges in the longitudinal direction, and
the handle member is wound around the double-sided adhesive tape at the recess.
3 . The tape member according to claim 2 , wherein
the double-sided adhesive tape has the recess in each of the pair of side edges wherein a receding side of each of recesses extends outward, thus defining a dumbbell-shaped portion of the double-sided adhesive tape that is a narrowed portion extending in the longitudinal direction, and the handle member is wound around the dumbbell-shaped portion.
4 . The tape member according to claim 1 , wherein
the handle member has an adhesive layer on one face, and
the handle member has a ring-shaped winding end where the adhesive layer is wound to wrap the double-sided adhesive tape and wound portions of the adhesive layer are bonded to each other.
5 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
a chassis member having an inner face;
a display panel having a display surface and a rear face opposite to the display surface, the rear face being supported by the inner face of the chassis member; and
a tape member including: a double-sided adhesive tape having a releasable property by stretching; and a sheet-shaped handle member connected to the double-sided adhesive tape, wherein the handle member is configured to enable a user to hold the handle member when stretch-releasing the double-sided adhesive tape, wherein the tape member fixes the rear face of the display panel to the inner face of the chassis member,
the handle member is wound around the double-sided adhesive tape in a direction that intersects a longitudinal direction of the double-sided adhesive tape,
wherein a distal portion of the handle member is bonded, via an adhesive layer, to another portion of the handle member to constitute a bonded portion that is outside of side edges of the double-sided adhesive tape.
6 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
the double-sided adhesive tape has a recess that is a cutout in at least one of a pair of side edges in the longitudinal direction, and
the handle member is wound around the double-sided adhesive tape at the recess.
7 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
the double-sided adhesive tape and the handle member have a connection therebetween that is located at a position sandwiched between the rear face of the display panel and the inner face of the chassis member, and
the handle member has an end opposite to the connection, the end protruding lateral of the display panel.
8 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
the display panel has a horizontal rectangular shape,
the double-sided adhesive tape extends in a longitudinal direction of the display panel, and
the handle member extends in a direction that intersects an extending direction of the double-sided adhesive tape, and protrudes laterally from an edge in the longitudinal direction of the display panel.
