Abstract
A method for manufacturing a reel includes molding a reel configuration component that is made of resin and includes a reel hub with an outer peripheral face for winding a recording tape onto, after the molding and prior to the reel configuration component cooling and shrinking, embedding a reinforcement ring into the reel hub, and after the embedding, cooling and shrinking the reel configuration component and fixing the reinforcement ring to the reel hub.
Claims6
A method for manufacturing a reel, the method comprising:
- molding a reel configuration component that is made of resin and includes a reel hub with an outer peripheral face for winding a recording tape onto, and that is formed by injection molding;
- after the molding and prior to the reel configuration component cooling and shrinking, embedding a reinforcement ring into the reel hub while maintaining a diameter of the reinforcement ring;
- and
- after the embedding process, a cooling process of cooling and shrinking the reel configuration component and fixing the reinforcement ring to the reel hub;
- wherein the molding includes forming a groove in the reel hub in the axial direction for inserting the reinforcement ring in the groove, and
- wherein the axial direction height of the reinforcement ring is a height such that the height of a portion overlapping an outer peripheral face of the reel hub in the axial direction when the reinforcement ring has been inserted into and fixed to the groove is a width of a recording tape wound onto the outer peripheral face of the reel hub, or greater.

A method for manufacturing a reel, the method comprising:
- preparing a reel configuration component that is made of resin and includes a reel hub with an outer peripheral face for winding a recording tape onto, and that is formed by injection molding;
- embedding a reinforcement ring into the reel hub while maintaining a diameter of the reinforcement ring in a state in which the reel configuration component is at a higher temperature than room temperature;
- and
- after the embedding, cooling and shrinking the reel configuration component and fixing the reinforcement ring to the reel hub;
- wherein the injection molding includes forming a groove in the reel hub in the axial direction for inserting the reinforcement ring in the groove, and
- wherein the axial direction height of the reinforcement ring is a height such that the height of a portion overlapping an outer peripheral face of the reel hub in the axial direction when the reinforcement ring has been inserted into and fixed to the groove is a width of a recording tape wound onto the outer peripheral face of the reel hub, or greater.
