Abstract
A filler strip for temporarily securing or clinching longitudinally arrangeable individual components in a tube, rod or hollow magazine. The filler strip is generally flat, but has surface features that serve to press the component against the top, bottom or side of the tube to prevent the component from knocking against adjacent components and cracking, chipping or otherwise damaging one or more of the components. The filler strip is particularly suited to eliminating the knocking motion of expensive ceramic integrated circuit packages that are shipped and handled in transparent plastic tubes or rails.
