Abstract

Abstract A holding apparatus for holding dual pin type electronic parts such as DIP type IC etc. when the electronic parts are cleaned or dried. The holding apparatus is used, for example, for cleaning or drying the dual pin type electronic parts automatically in line after the lead pins of the electronic parts are dipped by solder. The holding apparatus has at least one holding rod which holds the electronic parts on a mounting table in order to prevent the electronic parts from dropping off while the mounting table is rotated around a shaft, and the holding rod releases the electronic parts after the cleaning or drying thereof are completed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 140 words
A holding apparatus for use in a cleaner or dryer for dual pin type electronic parts, comprising a central shaft mounted in a housing which has an opening at the top, a pair of end plates provided on both ends of said central shaft, at least one rail rod connected between said end plates, a mounting table attached on each of said rail rod for mounting dual pin type electronic parts thereon, and a holding rod mounted at the side of each rail rod for holding the electronic parts on said mounting table and connected to a shaft correlated to a rotating means, said dual pin type electronic parts being loosely held between the mounting table and the holding rod such that a gap is formed between the electronic parts and the mounting table or holding rod due to rotation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 140 words
A holding apparatus for use in a cleaner or dryer for dual pin type electronic parts, comprising a central shaft mounted in a housing which has an opening at the top, a pair of end plates provided on both ends of said central shaft, at least one rail rod connected between said end plates, a mounting table attached on each of said rail rod for mounting dual pin type electronic parts thereon, and a holding rod mounted at the side of each rail rod for holding the electronic parts on said mounting table and connected to a shaft correlated to a rotating means, said dual pin type electronic parts being loosely held between the mounting table and the holding rod such that a gap is formed between the electronic parts and the mounting table or holding rod due to rotation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 37 words
The holding apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said holding rod is connected to said shaft so that said holding rod holds or releases the electronic parts by operation of an opening lever fixed to said shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
The holding apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said holding rod is mounted to an arm connected to said shaft, at a predetermined angle with each other, and said arm has a predetermined angle relative to said opening lever.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
The holding apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electronic parts mounting surface of said mounting table has a substantially H shaped plan.
