ABSTRACT:
A hand tool for assisting in the manual closure of integrated circuit (IC) storage and shipping cartridges, includes a base and a shank extending normal from one end of the base and terminating at a grip or stop formation. A pair of tines extends normal from another end of the base, along a direction of the shank. A hinged flap is mounted next to the second end such that it is rotatable to assume a position spaced parallel and extending along the tines. In use, the tines are inserted into an open end of a cartridge full of ICs, with the shank lying along the outer edge of the cartridge and thereafter pressure is manually applied via the tines against an IC to clear a pair of holes in the cartridge and permit insertion of a closure pin through the holes and between the tines. The flap is positioned against the pin to assist in driving the pin into an interference fit. After the pin is inserted the ICs are firmly retained in the cartridge in the well known and desired manner.
