Abstract: A recess of a thermoplastic resin container is formed by urging a part of a thermoplastic resin sheet into a cavity of a mold after heating the part of the thermoplastic resin sheet, so that a bottom portion and side walls of the recess are formed, wherein a bottom of the cavity has a convex shape area protruding in a depth direction away from the base portion formed on another part of the thermoplastic resin on the mold.
Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic parts carrier tape in which a nesting phenomenon, in which superposed embossed portions are fitted together after winding the carrier tape on a reel, is less liable to occur. The electronic parts carrier tape includes a flexible, tape-like member having electronic part-storing embossed portions arranged at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the tape-like member. At least one rib is formed on and projects outwardly from an outer surface of a peripheral wall of each of the embossed portions. An outer dimension (X) of a bottom of the embossed portion, as seen in a cross-section of the embossed portion through the rib, is larger than a dimension (Y) of an opening in a top of the embossed portion.
Abstract: A container for receiving an electric device in a recess. The container includes a pair of projections for restraining a movement of the electric device in a first direction perpendicular to a second direction and directed from a top opening area of the recess toward a bottom area of the recess. The pair of projections have respective support surfaces facing to each other in the first direction. A distance between the support surfaces of the pair in the first direction decreases in the second direction in such a manner that each of the support surfaces contacts simultaneously the electric device to prevent the electric device from moving in the first direction.
