Patent number: 6224705Abstract: A process for manufacturing a flat adhesive tape comprises: providing a stiff interfacial sheet having a flat and solid form; surrounding the stiff interfacial sheet with a plurality of adhesive layers so as to form a roll of the adhesive layers with the stiff interfacial sheet positioned on a symmetric plane of the roll; and compressing the roll to form the flat adhesive tape. The stiff interfacial sheet can have a length slightly longer than a half-length of an innermost circumference of the roll of the adhesive layers. A layer of high adhesion material containing uncured high cross-linking epoxy or uncured high cross-linking cyanoacrylate can be provided between the stiff interfacial sheet and the adhesive layers. After compressing the roll of the adhesive layers, the high adhesion material is cured to form the flat adhesive tape.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1999Date of Patent: May 1, 2001Assignee: Four Pillars Enterprises Corp.Inventors: Cheng-Kang Kao, David Lin, Sung-Nien Chang

Patent number: 6182828Abstract: A reel tape includes a base tape for reel winding, a chip mounting section on the base tape, on which a bare chip is to be mounted and an adhesive layer coated on the chip mounting section. The bare chip is provisionally bonded to the chip mounting section with the adhesive layer interposed therebetween such that the bare chip is detachable. Therefore, the bare chip can be detached from the tape for chip testing, for example, and mounted on the tape again after the testing. The reel tape further includes a protector, e.g. a bar, provided on the base tape and along the chip mounting section in a tape conveying direction. The protector prevents the bare chip from contacting an overlaying portion of the base tape when the base tape is wound on a reel.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1999Date of Patent: February 6, 2001Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Yoichi Hiruta

Patent number: 6100017Abstract: A 120-type roll photo film has a photo filmstrip. Trailer and leader portions of backing paper project from respective ends of the photo filmstrip. The photo filmstrip is wound about a spool with the trailer and leader portions. A seal tape is previously secured to the trailer portion.The photo filmstrip, after being exposed, is wound with the trailer and leader portions in a form of a roll with the leader portion internally positioned. Then the seal tape is fitted on the roll for preventing the trailer portion from being unwound. In the seal tape, a support material has first and second ends and an intermediate portion. The support material is folded into three in a Z-shape along first and second fold lines located between the intermediate portion and each of the first and second ends. A first adhesive layer attaches the first end to the trailer portion. An auxiliary adhesive layer attaches the intermediate portion to the first end in a peelable manner.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1999Date of Patent: August 8, 2000Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co.
