Reusable fixture for carrier tape

摘要

The present invention is a reusable fixture for holding a TCP carrier tape that is of simple structure, allows the carrier tape to be held securely, and eliminates powder produced by friction during mounting of the carrier tape. The structure includes a reusable fixture with a bottom element for receiving the carrier tape, a frame that surrounds and protects an outer periphery of the bottom element, and a pair of resilient tape holding members for holding the carrier tape that can be deformed by a pair of engaging members that move in opposing directions along the same line so as to allow mounting of the carrier tape, the tape holding members being attached on at least one pair of opposing inner side faces of the frame at positions to allow the tape holding members to extend above the upper surface of the mounted carrier tape.
