Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A carrier for semiconductor components having header containing at least one hole therein, said carrier comprising: an elongated strip having a plurality of protrusions extending from one side thereof, each of said protrusions having a stem portion and a knob portion, said protrusions provide means for securing said components to said strip via said hole in said header; and means in said strip for aligning said hole of said semiconductor components with said knob portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A carrier for semiconductor components having header containing at least one hole therein, said carrier comprising: an elongated strip having a plurality of protrusions extending from one side thereof, each of said protrusions having a stem portion and a knob portion, said protrusions provide means for securing said components to said strip via said hole in said header; and means in said strip for aligning said hole of said semiconductor components with said knob portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A carrier as claimed in claim 1 wherein: said aligning means is a slot through said strip.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A carrier as claimed in claim 1 wherein: said plurality of protrusions are positioned along opposite, substantially parallel, elongated edges of said strip.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A carrier as claimed in claim 3 wherein: each member of said protrusions along one edge is substantially perpendicularly, with respect to said one edge, aligned with a member of said protrusions on the other edge.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A carrier as claimed in claim 4 wherein: said means for aligning is positioned between two aligned members of said protrusions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A carrier as claimed in claim 1 wherein: said stem portion is substantially equal to the thickness of said header.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
A carrier as claimed in claim 1 wherein: said knob portion is slightly larger than said hole, the size difference therebetween being within the resilient limits of said knob.
