Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A flexible component feeder source for providing materials to an assembly process is disclosed. The flexible component feeder source comprises a flexible base suitable for protecting and receiving one or more photovoltaic cells for processing, wherein the flexible base is of a linear shape when opened and forms a roll when rolled.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A flexible component feeder source comprising a flexible base suitable for protecting and receiving one or more photovoltaic cells for processing, wherein the flexible base is of a linear shape when opened and forms a roll when rolled. 2 . The flexible component feeder of claim 1 , wherein the flexible base is of linear shape when under taught tension and retracts to a coil shape when tension to the base is absent. 3 . The flexible component feeder of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of photovoltaic cells are affixed thereon. 4 . The feeder of claim 3 , wherein the affixed plurality of photovoltaic cells are removably positioned thereon. 5 . The feeder of claim 4 , wherein the affixed plurality of photovoltaic cells removably positioned thereon are affixed using any of adhesive pads, adhesive tape, glue, PSA, a mechanism to hold the photovoltaic cells in place and a combination thereof. 6 . The feeder of claim 3 , wherein the affixed plurality of photovoltaic cells removably positioned thereon are affixed using vacuum. 7 . The feeder of claim 4 , wherein the affixed plurality of photovoltaic cells are removably positioned on the flexible base for removal by an automated device. 8 . The feeder of claim 4 , wherein the affixed plurality of photovoltaic cells are removably positioned on the flexible base for manual removal. 9 . The feeder of claim 3 , wherein each photovoltaic cell of the plurality of photovoltaic cells are protectably affixed on the flexible base to avoid damage and contact with one another. 10 . The feeder of claim 2 , wherein the flexible base is reusable. 11 . The feeder of claim 2 , wherein a width of the flexible base is approximately similar to a size of the photovoltaic cells. 12 . The feeder of claim 2 , wherein a width of the flexible base is varied to feed a plurality of active processing lanes with the photovoltaic cells. 13 . The feeder of claim 2 , wherein the flexible base further comprises any of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), paper and cloth.
