Benefits of technology

0005] One object of the present invention is thus to achieve a device for facilitating the manufacturing of devices comprising printed circuits on flexible substrates. This object is obtained by a device for feeding items to a manufacturing machine, where said device comprises a long flexible film arranged in a roll, said film comprising a first protective layer for carrying each of said items. An adhesive agent, applied between said item and said protective layer, attaching said item to said protective layer, said first protective layer and said agent cooperating so that when said item is detached from said first protective layer substantially all of said adhesive agent is disposed on said item and where said item comprises a printed circuit.

Problems solved by technology

It can however be a problem to handle these thin flexible items in the manufacturing process.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] FIG. 1 shows a long flexible film 101 arranged in a roll 102. The film 101 comprises antenna elements, whereof four 103, 104, 105 and 106 are visible, and a protective carrier layer 107. The antenna elements consist of etched printed circuits, having specific radio frequency characteristics, applied on a flexible substrate. Between the antenna elements and the protective layer 107 is an adhesive agent present (not shown). The roll 102 is mounted on a stand 108 according to known methods and the film 101 is fed over an edge 109 to a dispose roll 110 which collects the protective layer 107. When the film 101 is fed over the edge 109 the antenna element 103 detach from the protective layer 107. The film 101 is fed so that a convenient part of the antenna element 103 protrudes out from the edge 109. This enables a mounting machine 111 to easy grab the antenna element 103 for mounting on a antenna support structure (not shown). The mounting machine 111 is depicted in a schematic m...
