Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for blanking a printed circuit film including a tap integrated circuit from a base film including the printed circuit film, comprising: a lower plate; an insert member on a top surface of the lower plate and overlapping a hit region of the base film, the hit region defined by dimensions of the printed circuit film, the insert member including defined therein: an upper plate which overlaps the lower plate and moves toward and away from the lower plate; the puncher which protrudes from the upper plate and contacts the hit region of the base film, such that the printed circuit film is separated from the base film; and a fixing-pin which protrudes from the upper plate and is inserted in the auxiliary fixing-hole of the base film and in the first pin hole within the one of the two groups of first pin holes arranged separated from each other along the longitudinal direction of the base film aligned with the auxiliary fixing-hole, wherein the fixing-pin fixes a location of the base film with respect to the insert member, wherein the printed circuit film includes a first side parallel to the longitudinal direction of the base film, a second side parallel to the first side, a third side perpendicular to the first and second sides, and a fourth side parallel to the third side; wherein the puncher separates the printed circuit film along the first to fourth sides; and wherein the base film includes: wherein the fixing-pin is inserted in one of the auxiliary fixing-holes, and wherein a number of the groups of the first pin holes corresponds to a number of vertexes of the first opening, and a first pin hole in one of the groups is adjacent to one of the vertexes of the first opening.
