Abstract
An IC carrier has a base and a cover pivotably attached to the base through a shaft coupling. One end of the cover is provided with a plurality of shafts forming the shaft coupling and arranged at spaced intervals. The base is provided with a short recess portion shorter than the length of the shaft and a recess portion equal to or longer than the length of the shafts. The short and long recess portions are spaced on one end of the base at an equal interval to the spacing of the shafts. One end of the recess portions is provided with a shaft receiving portion for receiving ends of the corresponding shaft. The cover can be bent in the thickness direction and the shafts can be inclined in accordance with the bending of the cover. The shaft corresponding to the long recess portion is inserted into the shaft receiving portion at one end of the recess portion via the recess portion, and the shaft corresponding to the short recess portion is inserted into the shaft receiving portion at one end of the short recess portion while the shafts are inclined due to the bending of the cover. The shafts are brought into full engagement in the recess portions by the motion of the cover as it is restored to its unbent condition.
