Abstract
An IC career includes a movable corner ruler for regulating one of the two diagonally opposed corner portions which are situated on opposite corners of an IC, and a reference ruler for regulating the other corner portion. The movable ruler is resiliently retained by a first and a second plate spring extending along the two sides forming the first-mentioned corner portion of the IC such that the first-mentioned one corner portion is resiliently urged towards the reference corner ruler. The first and second plate springs are connected with each other through a connection piece integrally blanked together with the first and second plate springs, and internal ends of the first and second plate springs extend from connection portions with respect to the connection piece so as to define free ends.
