Method of receiving small-sized electronic parts

A process for packaging electronic parts, storing said electronic parts and subsequently using at least one of said parts, said process comprising;

• providing an elongated strip of flexible material, said strip having a surface and a length, said material having a physical characteristic of conducting electricity to an extent necessary to prevent attachment of electronic parts to the surface of said strip by static electricity,
• punching a series of aligned holes in said strip, said holes being aligned in rows along the length of the elongated strip,
• adhesively bonding one side of a double-sided adhesive strip to one side of the elongated strip over one row of said series of holes, a first portion of said adhesive strip being visible through each hole and a second portion of said adhesive strip not being visible through said holes, each said hole in said one row having a width perpendicular to the length of the elongated strip, the width of said adhesive strip being less than the width of each said hole,
• bonding a strip of release paper to the other side of the double-sided adhesive strip, said strip of release paper being of a width at least as great as the adhesive strip, said strip of release paper having two sides with (1) one side being in contact with the adhesive strip and (2) the other side not contacting the adhesive strip,
• inserting an electronic part into each of at least some of the hole of said one row and into contact with said first portion and adhesively bonding said parts to the first portions of said adhesive strip which are exposed through said one row of holes,
• each said first portion of said adhesive strip having a physical characteristic of releasing from said strip of release paper and from the second portion of said adhesive strip which is not exposed through said one row of holes while remaining bonded to said part in which said portion is in contact when force is applied to remove said part from said hole,
• while leaving the holes in said one row unobstructed from one side of the elongated strip rolling the elongated strip, electronic parts, adhesive strip and release paper into a coil in a direction the direction of rolling being along the aligned row of holes whereby the other side of the release paper covers said unobstructed holes;
• and
• removing at least one electronic part from the hole where it was previously inserted by application of a vacuum and the part so removed is then bonded to a component of electronic equipment solely by the adhesive on the part which separated from the release strip with the part when said part was removed from the hole.
