Carrier tape structure

Abstract

A carrier tape structure including a belt-shaped tape body, a plurality of carrier boxes, and a plurality of protruding ribs is provided. The carrier boxes are disposed separately on the tape body, and the protruding ribs are in strip shape and are disposed between the carrier boxes. The material around the protruding ribs has lower strength so that the tape body can be bent along the peripheries of the protruding ribs. A plurality of chains is disposed along two sides of the tape body, and the chains can be hung onto a winding machine so that the carrier tape structure can be winded on the winding machine without damaging the carrier boxes.

1 . A carrier tape structure, comprising:
 a tape body in belt-shape, fabricated of a flexible slab material, the entire tape body being windable;   a plurality of carrier boxes, disposed separately on the tape body and protruding a particular height from a surface of the tape body, wherein each of the carrier boxes is used to accommodate an component; and   a plurality of protruding ribs, protruding from the tape body, and being disposed between the carrier boxes;   wherein when the tape body is winded, the tape body is substantially deformed in the area excluding the carrier boxes and the protruding ribs.   
   
   
       2 . The carrier tape structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the tape body is made of flexible plastic materials. 
   
   
       3 . The carrier tape structure according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of chains is disposed along two sides in a direction of a width of the tape body, and the chains are square holes, round holes, elliptical holes, triangular holes, or polygonal holes. 
   
   
       4 . The carrier tape structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one sealing film, and the sealing film is completely attached to the tape body and covers the openings of the carrier boxes. 
   
   
       5 . The carrier tape structure according to  claim 4 , wherein the sealing film is adhered to the tape body with adhesive. 
   
   
       6 . The carrier tape structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the protruding ribs are formed on the tape body and are located on the same surface of the tape body as the carrier boxes. 
   
   
       7 . The carrier tape structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the protruding ribs are formed on the tape body and are located on different surfaces of the tape body as the carrier boxes.
