## Abstract

A film pasting tool is used to paste one surface of a film on a member-to-be-pasted at a predetermined position. The tool comprises a flexible tabular body, a first adhesive part, a front surface thereof being adhesive, provided on one surface of the body, and a second adhesive part, a front surface thereof being adhesive, provided on a part of a region other than a region where the first adhesive part is provided out of one surface of the body. An other surface of the film is pastable on the front surface of the second adhesive part, and when the other surface of the film is pasted on the front surface of the second adhesive part, the front surface of the first adhesive part is exposed in such a manner that the front surface of the first adhesive part is pastable on the member-to-be-pasted.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A film pasting tool for pasting one surface of a film on a member-to-be-pasted at a predetermined position comprising;
a flexible tabular body;
a first adhesive part, a front surface thereof being adhesive, provided on one surface of said body; and
a second adhesive part, a front surface thereof being adhesive, provided on a part of a region other than a region where said first adhesive part is provided out of said one surface of said body,
wherein,
an other surface of said film is pastable on said front surface of said second adhesive part, and
when said other surface of said film is pasted on said front surface of said second adhesive part, said front surface of said first adhesive part is exposed in such a manner that said front surface of said first adhesive part is pastable on said member-to-be-pasted.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The film pasting tool according to claim 1, wherein,
said front surface of said second adhesive part has a lower adhesive strength than said front surface of said first adhesive part.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The film pasting tool according to claim 1 further comprising said film, wherein,
an other surface of said film has been pasted on said front surface of said second adhesive part.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The film pasting tool according to claim 3, wherein,
an outer contour of said film is smaller than an outer contour of said body.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The film pasting tool according to claim 1, wherein,
said body includes a grip part to be gripped by a worker when doing a pasting work, and
said first adhesive part and said second adhesive part are not provided on one surface of said grip part.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The film pasting tool according to claim 5, wherein,
a length from said grip part to said second adhesive part is shorter than a length from said grip part to said first adhesive part.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The film pasting tool according to claim 1, wherein,
said body includes at least one claw part configured to be engaged with a corresponding engaged part fixed in advance on said member-to-be-pasted so that said film pasting tool is positioned with respect to said member-to-be-pasted.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The film pasting tool according to claim 1, wherein,
said film is larger than said second adhesive part, and
said one surface of said body includes at least one positioning line for positioning said film with respect to said body.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The film pasting tool according to claim 1, wherein,
said body is transparent,
said film is larger than said second adhesive part, and
said other surface of said body includes at least one positioning line for positioning said film with respect to said body.

### Claim 10

A film pasting method using a film pasting tool comprising a flexible tabular body; a first adhesive part, a front surface thereof being adhesive, provided on one surface of said body; a second adhesive part, a front surface thereof being adhesive, provided on a part of a region other than a region where said first adhesive part is provided out of said one surface of said body; and a film pasted on said front surface of said second adhesive part, said method being a method for pasting a surface of said film, said surface being positioned at an opposite side of said surface which has been pasted on said front surface of said second adhesive part, on a member-to-be-pasted at a predetermined position comprising;
a first adhesive part pasting step for pasting said front surface of said first adhesive part on said member-to-be-pasted at a predetermined first position;
a film preparing step for lifting, after said first adhesive part pasting step, said body in a direction departing from said member-to-be-pasted by holding a part of said body where said first adhesive part and said second adhesive part are not provided, said part being positioned at a second direction side of said body, said second direction being opposite to a first direction toward which said first adhesive part is positioned with respect to said second adhesive part, and putting said surface of said film into an adherable state;
a film pasting step for pressing, after said film preparing step, a squeegee on a part out of an other surface of said body, said part being positioned at said first direction side of a part corresponding to said film with said body held in such a manner that said surface of said film is not adhered to said member-to-be-pasted and moving said squeegee in said second direction, applying to said squeegee external force toward said member-to-be-pasted so as to paste, via said body, said surface of said film on said member-to-be-pasted at said predetermined position; and
an adhesive part peeling step for peeling, after said film pasting step, said second adhesive part from said film and peeling said first adhesive part from said member-to-be-pasted by bending said body.
