Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
An IC carrier for use in mounting an IC in an IC socket, said IC carrier comprising: an IC carrier body having an IC case-receiving chamber therein; an IC case having an IC-receiving chamber therein, said IC case being mountable in said IC case-receiving chamber of said IC carrier body; and a positioning means for moving the IC relative to said IC carrier body when the IC is mounted in said IC-receiving chamber of said IC case and said IC case is mounted in said IC case-receiving chamber of said IC carrier body, to position the IC in a predetermined position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
An IC carrier for use in mounting an IC in an IC socket, said IC carrier comprising: an IC carrier body having an IC case-receiving chamber therein; an IC case having an IC-receiving chamber therein, said IC case being mountable in said IC case-receiving chamber of said IC carrier body; and a positioning means for moving the IC relative to said IC carrier body when the IC is mounted in said IC-receiving chamber of said IC case and said IC case is mounted in said IC case-receiving chamber of said IC carrier body, to position the IC in a predetermined position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 1, wherein said positioning means is operable to move the IC relative to said IC carrier body by moving said IC case relative to said IC carrier body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 1, wherein said positioning means is operable to move the IC relative to said IC carrier body by moving the IC relative to said IC case.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 1, further comprising a wiring sheet having a wiring pattern thereon and being mounted to said IC carrier body, said wiring sheet covering said IC case-receiving chamber of said IC carrier body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 4, wherein said positioning means is further operable to move the IC relative to said wiring sheet.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 1, wherein said positioning means comprises an operation lever fixed to said IC case and extending outwardly therefrom.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 1, wherein said positioning means comprises spring members mounted to said IC case for biasing the IC toward the predetermined position so as to move the IC relative to said IC case.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
73 words
An IC carrier for use in mounting an IC in an IC socket, said IC carrier comprising: an IC carrier body having an IC case-receiving chamber therein; an IC case having an IC-receiving chamber therein, said IC case being movably mounted in said IC case-receiving chamber of said IC carrier body; and an elongated operation lever fixed to said IC case and extending outwardly therefrom to a position outside said IC carrier body.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
73 words
An IC carrier for use in mounting an IC in an IC socket, said IC carrier comprising: an IC carrier body having an IC case-receiving chamber therein; an IC case having an IC-receiving chamber therein, said IC case being movably mounted in said IC case-receiving chamber of said IC carrier body; and an elongated operation lever fixed to said IC case and extending outwardly therefrom to a position outside said IC carrier body.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
41 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 8, wherein said operation lever comprises a positioning means for moving said IC case relative to said IC carrier body to position the IC case in a predetermined position in said IC case-receiving chamber.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
39 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 8, further comprising a wiring sheet having a wiring pattern thereon and being mounted to said IC carrier body, said wiring sheet covering said IC case-receiving chamber of said IC carrier body.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
62 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 8, wherein said IC carrier body further has a wiring sheet receiving chamber with a wiring sheet support seat; and a wiring sheet, having a wiring pattern thereon, is mounted against said wiring sheet support seat, said wiring sheet covering said IC case-receiving chamber and substantially enclosing said IC case in said IC case-receiving chamber.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
43 words
An IC carrier as recited in claim 11, further comprising a framework fixedly mounted in said wiring sheet receiving chamber along an inner periphery of said IC carrier body, said wiring sheet being interposed between said framework and said wiring sheet support seat.
