Abstract
Abstract An IC carrier comprising a carrier body carrying an IC body, which is either alone or received in a protective case, a wiring sheet with a lead pattern applied onto an upper surface thereof and on which the wiring sheet is superimposed in such a manner as to cover an outer upper surface of the IC body, a plurality of fine adjustment pushers for pressing the IC body or the protective case sidewardly at plurality of points in order to slightly move the IC body or the protective case along an inner upper surface of the wiring sheet to adjust the position of the IC body so as to correctly correspond to the wiring sheet, each of the fine adjustment pushers being formed of male screw pins which are threadedly engaged with the carrier body and reciprocally moved, the IC body or the protective case being pressed sidewardly by end faces of the male screws, respectively.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
An IC carrier comprising a carrier body carrying an IC body, which is either alone or received in a protective case, a wiring sheet with a lead pattern applied onto an upper surface thereof and on which said wiring sheet is superimposed in such a manner as to cover an outer upper surface of said IC body, a plurality of fine adjustment pushers for pressing said IC body or said protective case sidewardly at plurality of points in order to slightly move said IC body or said protective case along an inner upper surface of said wiring sheet to adjust the position of said IC body so as to correctly correspond to said wiring sheet, each of said fine adjustment pushers being formed of male screw pins which are threadedly engaged with said carrier body and reciprocally moved, said IC body or said protective case being pressed sidewardly by end faces of said male screws, respectively.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
An IC carrier comprising a carrier body carrying an IC body, which is either alone or received in a protective case, a wiring sheet with a lead pattern applied onto an upper surface thereof and on which said wiring sheet is superimposed in such a manner as to cover an outer upper surface of said IC body, a plurality of fine adjustment pushers for pressing said IC body or said protective case sidewardly at plurality of points in order to slightly move said IC body or said protective case along an inner upper surface of said wiring sheet to adjust the position of said IC body so as to correctly correspond to said wiring sheet, each of said fine adjustment pushers being formed of male screw pins which are threadedly engaged with said carrier body and reciprocally moved, said IC body or said protective case being pressed sidewardly by end faces of said male screws, respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
An IC carrier as claimed in claim 1, in which a pressing pad of synthetic resin material is disposed at a tip portion of each of said male screw pins, and said IC body or said protective case is pressed through said pressing pads.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
An IC carrier as claimed 1, in which each of said male screw pins is threadedly engaged with said pressing pad, so that said IC body or said protective case can be slightly moved through said pressing pad.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
169 words
An IC carrier comprising a carrier body carrying an IC body, which is either alone or received in a protective case, a wiring sheet with a lead pattern applied onto an upper surface thereof and on which said wiring sheet is superimposed in such a manner as to cover an outer upper surface of said IC body, a plurality of fine adjustment pushers for pressing said IC body or said protective case sidewardly at plurality of points in order to slightly move said IC body or said protective case along an inner upper surface of said wiring sheet to adjust the position of said IC body so as to correctly correspond to said wiring sheet, each of said fine adjustment pushers being formed of a plain pin which is slidingly fitted into said carrier body and reciprocally moved, said carrier body being provided with fixture means for fixing said plain pin, said IC body or said protective case being pressed sidewardly by an end face of said plain pin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
169 words
An IC carrier comprising a carrier body carrying an IC body, which is either alone or received in a protective case, a wiring sheet with a lead pattern applied onto an upper surface thereof and on which said wiring sheet is superimposed in such a manner as to cover an outer upper surface of said IC body, a plurality of fine adjustment pushers for pressing said IC body or said protective case sidewardly at plurality of points in order to slightly move said IC body or said protective case along an inner upper surface of said wiring sheet to adjust the position of said IC body so as to correctly correspond to said wiring sheet, each of said fine adjustment pushers being formed of a plain pin which is slidingly fitted into said carrier body and reciprocally moved, said carrier body being provided with fixture means for fixing said plain pin, said IC body or said protective case being pressed sidewardly by an end face of said plain pin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
128 words
An IC carrier comprising a carrier body carrying an IC body, which is either alone or received in a protective case, a wiring sheet with a lead pattern applied onto an upper surface thereof and on which said wiring sheet is superimposed in such a manner as to cover an outer upper surface of said IC body, a plurality of fine adjustment pushers for pressing said IC body or said protective case sidewardly at plurality of points in order to slightly move said IC body or said protective case along an inner upper surface of said wiring sheet to adjust the position of said IC body so as to correctly correspond to said wiring sheet, each of said fine adjustment pushers being formed of an eccentric cam member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
128 words
