A baseboard dispensing assembly includes a pair of plates including an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper plate is positioned on and attached to the lower plate. The upper and lower plates are rotatable with respect to each other. The upper plate has an upper surface and the lower plate has a lower surface. A securing member is attached to the upper surface and is configured to restrict the coil of the flexible baseboard from sliding off of the upper surface. The upper plate receives a coil of flexible baseboard such that the coil is uncoiled while the securing member retains the coil on the upper plate.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a storage state in which a reactive compound layer can be stably maintained in a polymer film having a reactive compound layer on the surface. The film roll is obtained by winding together: a first polymer film having a reactive compound layer on the surface, and a second polymer film having a surface roughness (Ra) of 0.1 μm or more and a modulus of elasticity of 300 MPa or more and 10 GPa or less. The film bundle is obtained by laminating the first and second polymer films. Preferably, storing the film roll and the film bundle at a low temperature enables a thin layer of a reactive compound to be stably maintained.

A system, according to one embodiment, includes: a plurality of tape reels; and a tape drive configured for reading data from tape stored on at least one of the plurality of tape reels. At least some of the tape reels have a tape wound thereon and a spring-like clip coupled to a free end of the tape. Moreover, the clip is selectively positionable in a wrapped position where the clip wraps around a portion of the tape when the tape is wound onto the reel, thereby holding the portion of the tape in place on the reel.

There is provided a method for cutting an adhesive film and an adhesive film that are novel and improved and capable of fabricating an adhesive film with a low glass transition point, high quality, and a width of less than 1 mm. According to an aspect of the present invention in order to achieve the above object, there is provided a method for cutting an adhesive film, the method including cutting, under a temperature environment of 40 to 10 C., an adhesive film that satisfies a condition of the following formula (1) and whose tack value per unit length under room temperature is 3N/cm or more.

y0.27x+11.4(1)

In the formula (1), x is a glass transition point ( C.) of the adhesive film, and y is a tack value per unit length (N/cm) under room temperature of the adhesive film.

A system, according to one embodiment, includes: a plurality of tape reels; and a tape drive configured for reading data from tape stored on at least one of the plurality of tape reels. At least some of the tape reels have a tape wound thereon and a spring-like clip coupled to a free end of the tape. Moreover, the clip is selectively positionable in a wrapped position where the clip wraps around a portion of the tape when the tape is wound onto the reel, thereby holding the portion of the tape in place on the reel.

An improved electronic component holder of the type having a reel of tape, wherein the tape has a back side, a front side, and may include small wells evenly spaced from each other and containing electronic components The improvement includes markings on one of the back side and the front side of the reel of tape containing the electronic components with a scale that will ultimately determine an amount of electronic components left on the reel of tape. The markings may include a means of determining quantity of components on a tape or length of tape by automatic identification or machine vision. The markings may be applied to tapes on reels containing components or to each piece of the component tape assembly, for example the cover tape or component tape, individually such as in a tape pre-print assembly on a newly manufactured cover tape reel.

A spring-like clip for a spool of tape, one end of the clip being attached to one end of the tape, and another end of the clip having an engagement feature that allows the clip to be pulled from the spool. The clip is configured to curve around the spool to hold the tape in place. In one general embodiment, a product includes a reel, a tape coupled to the reel, and a spring-like clip coupled to a free end of the tape. The clip is selectively positionable in a wrapped position where the clip wraps around a portion of the tape when the tape is wound onto the reel, thereby holding the portion of the tape in place on the reel. Systems for using various types of such products are presented, and generally include a tape drive configured for reading data from tape stored on such products.

An apparatus may include a housing, a power-supply, a user-interface, a wrap-roller, a dispenser. In one embodiment, the apparatus is configured to roll an unwound hand-wrap after a workout. In another embodiment, a vending machine includes the housing, the power-supply, the user-interface, the wrap-roller, and the dispenser. In this embodiment, the housing includes a plurality of items that may aid in a users' workout and may selectively dispensed from the vending machine. The vending and use of the apparatus may be monetized for profit at sports-related establishments.

A tape releasing device includes a reel support section and a release section. The reel support section is configured to support a reel in which an outer peripheral portion of a spiral tape, where a carrier tape, in which a cover tape that closes an accommodation section that accommodates an electronic component is attached to a base tape provided with the accommodation section, is spirally wound, and a tip end portion of the cover tape are fixed by a fixing tape. The release section releases the fixing tape of the reel supported by the reel support section.
