Abstract
Abstract A tube for integrated circuits, which comprises: an electrically conductive substrate sheet formed by laminating an electrically conductive thin layer onto at least one side of a transparent sheet of a synthetic resin, said substrate sheet being bent plural times in a parallel fashion to thereby form an upper section, left and right sections depending therefrom, left and right bottom sections and left and right upright sections spaced away from each other; a covering member formed of left and right resting pieces for resting an integrated circuit thereon; and an electrically conductive band-like lining sheet formed by laminating an electrically conductive thin layer onto at least one side of a transparent band-like sheet of a synthetic resin; said lining sheet being fixedly bonded at both side edges to the lower faces of said resting pieces.
