Abstract
Abstract A holding device for holding a plurality of electrical and electronic parts or elements. The holding device of paper or similar resilient material includes a base of tape-like configuration and a plurality of holding portions formed in the longitudinal direction of the base. The holding portion further includes tongue portion formed by a slit which is cut in a direction normal to the longitudinal direction of the base to allow U-shaped lead wires of the electrical parts or elements to be inserted into the base through the slit and to be held in position by pressing the tongue portion into the space defined by the lead wire for efficient handling of such parts and elements as one unit on the base.
