  • Patent number: 9686894
    Abstract: A size S1 of each of projections 32b provided on an outer perimeter of a sprocket 32 in a proceeding direction of a tape member 20 at a height where each of the projections 32b is engaged with each of feed holes 22 of the tape member 20 is larger than a diameter D of each of the feed holes 22 of the tape member 20, and a size S2 of each of the projections 32b in a direction perpendicular to the proceeding direction of the tape member 20 at a height where each of the projections 32b is engaged with each of the feed holes 22 of the tape member 20 is smaller than the diameter D of each of the feed holes 22 of the tape member 20.

  • Patent number: 9655295
    Abstract: A feeder installing attachment includes: a main body portion including attachment side fitting parts provided on a lower surface thereof and having an installing compatibility with first feeder side fitting parts provided on a lower surface of a first tape feeder; and second feeder installing slots formed on an upper surface of the main body portion and engaging with second feeder side fitting parts provided on a lower surface of a second tape feeder having a standard width smaller than that of the first tape feeder. In a state where the attachment is mounted, an array pitch of the second feeder installing slots is smaller than an array pitch of the base side installing slots, and becomes an array pitch corresponding to the standard width of the second tape feeder.

  • Patent number: 9457977
    Abstract: A gear unit 40 includes: a sprocket 32 including pins 31 provided on a periphery thereof and a final gear 42; and one or more transmission gears disposed between a drive motor 33 and the final gear 42. The pins 31 engage with feed holes provided at equal pitches in a carrier tape. A sensor 48 which detects an angle is provided to face a transmission gear, of the one or more transmission gears, of which a rotation ratio to the final gear 42 is 1:N (N is a positive integer).
