Patent ID: 7819300

Claim:
A paste transfer device for transferring paste to an electronic component, comprising: a base member having a smooth film-formation surface on a top face thereof on which a paste film to be put into contact with the electronic component is formed; a movable member for moving horizontally along the base member; a blade holder which is coupled to the movable member coupled to a rail position under the film-formation surface so as to be swingable about a swinging fulcrum, for reciprocating along with the movable member; a first blade and a second blade which are provided in the blade holder so as to be spaced from each other along a direction of the reciprocative motion so that a position of the swinging fulcrum in the direction of the reciprocative motion is placed therebetween; a reciprocating mechanism for transmitting reciprocative driving force on a point of driving action where is given by a position in the blade holder distant from the swinging fulcrum; and a braking mechanism for braking the movable member toward a direction opposite to a direction of drive by the reciprocating mechanism with a braking resistance which overcomes a swinging resistance in a swinging of the blade holder, wherein either one of the first blade and the second blade is moved while being kept in contact with the base member during a forward motion of the movable member, and the other blade is moved while being kept in contact with the base member during a backward motion of the movable member.
