A carrier tape system includes an elongated base strip and an elongated cover strip both formed of a plastic film material. The cover strip is substantially coextensive in length with the base strip. The cover strip has a top surface and opposed sidewalls extending downwardly from the top surface. The opposed sidewalls are laterally spaced apart from each other a distance substantially equal to the width of the base strip. The cover strip further includes retaining means formed integrally therewith for mechanically engaging and holding down thin component parts seated within cavities formed within the base strip. The retaining means is comprised of either a ridge or a pair of laterally spaced apart rail members which are formed coextensive with the cover strip and which extend longitudinally, parallel to the sidewalls and which project downwardly from the top surface thereof.

A carrier tape system, comprising: an elongated base strip; an elongated cover strip coextensive in length with said base strip; said cover strip having a top surface and opposed sidewalls extending downwardly from said top surface, said opposed sidewalls being spaced apart from each other a distance substantially equal to the width of said base strip, and means for securing said cover strip to said base strip; said base strip having an upper surface for engaging said cover strip when said cover strip is secured to said base strip; a plurality of longitudinally spaced cavities, extending downwardly from said upper surface of said base strip, for housing a plurality of components therein; and a plurality of trough-like grooves extending longitudinally between and interconnecting adjacent ones of said plurality of cavities at a level beneath said upper surface of said base strip but above a bottom wall portion of each one of said cavities upon which each one of said components is supported; and retaining means extending downwardly from a lower surface of said cover strip so as to be disposed within said longitudinally extending trough-like grooves of said base strip when said cover strip is secured to said base strip and for engaging said components disposed within said cavities of said base strip so as to retain said components within said cavities of said base strip.
