<p>The present invention is directed to a tape reel in which a thin flange portion is formed by reducing a thickness of each of front and rear flange surfaces of the tape reel and a thick portion having a thickness larger than that of the thin flange portion is formed on a plurality of places of an outer periphery of the flange portion. When the tape reel is molded by using a molding metal mold, a pin is inserted into the molding metal mold at a portion corresponding to a portion where a resin is filled into the thin flange portion last, and air and gas within a cavity are discharged from a spacing formed between the molding metal mold and the pin. Thus, the occurrence of short mold and weld line on the thin portion of the tape reel thus molded can be avoided and a rotational fluctuation of the reel flange surface can be avoided. Also, the present invention is directed to a tape reel in which front and rear surface portions of each of upper and lower flanges are formed as thin flange portions by uniformly reducing the thickness of each of the front and rear surface portions thereof except outer peripheral edge portions thereof and radial tape position restricting ribs 7 are formed on tape contact flange surfaces of the upper and lower flanges. Thus, the flanges can be prevented from being warped even when the thicknesses thereof are reduced. The tape reel can be made light in weight and the material therefor can be saved. Also, the tape reel of the present invention can achieve a similar action to that of the conventional tape reel. <IMAGE></p> |
