Reel

Abstract

It is an object to provide a reel capable of expecting strength and dimensional accuracy almost equivalent to those of a metal reel, preventing product failures from being caused by the generation of metal powder, exchanging only a damaged part even in the case in which the part of a member for protecting the reel main body is damaged, being manufactured at a low cost by the miniaturization of a metal mold structure, and preventing a carrier tape and a wiring pattern from being damaged or broken as much as possible. The reel including a reel main body 10 a is characterized by comprising; a core member 2 made of resin on which a lengthy tape is taken up; a spoke member 4 made of resin that is arranged radially on the both edges of the core member 2 and that regulates the movement in the transverse direction of the tape taken up on the core member 2 ; and a ring-shaped member 6 that is arranged to be coupled with the spoke member 4; wherein the ring-shaped member 6 includes a ring-shaped stiffener member 14 made of metal used as a stiffener material and includes a cover member 15 made of resin that covers the ring-shaped stiffener member 14.

1 . A reel including a reel main body comprising: 
 a core member made of resin on which a lengthy tape is taken up;    a spoke member made of resin that is arranged radially on the both edges of the core member and that regulates the movement in the transverse direction of the tape taken up on the core member; and    a ring-shaped member that is arranged to be coupled with the spoke member;    wherein the ring-shaped member includes a ring-shaped stiffener member made of metal used as a stiffener material and includes a cover member made of resin that covers the ring-shaped stiffener member.    
   
   
       2 . A reel as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the spoke member and the core member are detachably attached to each other.  
   
   
       3 . A reel as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the spoke member and the ring-shaped member are detachably attached to each other.  
   
   
       4 . A reel as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the cover member made of resin is configured by a plurality of divided sections arranged in the circular direction.  
   
   
       5 . A reel as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the divided section includes an internal divided section that is arranged at the internal surface side of the reel main body and an external divided section that is arranged at the external surface side of the reel main body.  
   
   
       6 . A reel as defined in  claim 4 , wherein a coupling position of a plurality of the divided sections arranged in the circular direction corresponds to a coupling position of the spoke member with the ring-shaped member.  
   
   
       7 . A reel as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped stiffener member is sectionally L-shaped.  
   
   
       8 . A reel as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the core member is configured by a plurality of divided sections arranged in the circular direction.
