Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A component supply device provided with a rail which transports a carrier tape, and a movable member which is provided above the rail and moves up and down, in which a gap above the carrier tape which passes a bottom portion of the movable member is blocked by the movable member.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A component supply device which continuously supplies a carrier tape in which components are stored without splicing, the device comprising: a rail which supports a bottom face of the carrier tape; and a movable member above the rail that rotates around an axis so that a first end and a second end of the movable member move up and down opposite to each other, wherein a gap above the carrier tape which passes a bottom portion of the movable member is blocked by the first end of the movable member, and the rail includes a recess into which the second end of the movable member enters so the second end of the movable member extends beyond a top surface of the rail. 2. The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier tape is a first carrier tape, and the first carrier tape contacts the second end of the movable member to rotate the movable member so the gap is blocked by the first end of the movable member. 3. The component supply device according to claim 2 , further comprising: a detection section that detects a boundary portion between the first carrier tape and a second carrier tape. 4. The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein when the movable member is rotated so that the gap is blocked by the first end of the movable member a second carrier tape inserted on top of the first carrier tape is blocked by the first end of the movable member. 5. The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable member rotates around a support shaft that extends through the movable member and the axis is an axial center of the support shaft.
