First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A component supply device that supplies a component stored in a carrier tape to a component mounting apparatus, the component supply device comprising: a curl corrector that corrects curl of an empty tape which is the carrier tape from which the component is picked up by the component mounting apparatus. 2. The component supply device of claim 1 , wherein the curl corrector includes a guide path for guiding the empty tape to a discharge chute, wherein the guide path includes a first contact portion that comes into contact with a lower surface of the empty tape, a second contact portion that comes into contact with an upper surface of the empty tape, and a third contact portion that comes into contact with the lower surface of the empty tape, and wherein the first contact portion, the second contact portion, and the third contact portion are disposed in order in which the empty tape passes, and bend the empty tape so that the upper surface of the empty tape is recessed. 3. The component supply device of claim 2 , wherein the guide path is directed in a direction of guiding the empty tape downward, and wherein the first contact portion, the second contact portion, and the third contact portion are arranged in this order from above. 4. The component supply device of claim 2 , wherein the second contact portion is displaceable in a direction traversing a straight line connecting the first contact portion and the third contact portion. 5. The component supply device of claim 4 , further comprising: a movable member including the second contact portion; and an elastic body urging the movable member to the upper surface of the empty tape.
