ABSTRACT:
An electric part holding device for holding an electric part or part carrier has a base having a polygonal electric part or carrier accommodation portion for receiving an electric part or carrier therein, and a plurality of semi-elliptic springs, one mounted on the base at each opposing corner portion of the accommodation portion or along opposite sides thereof, each spring being resiliently movable between an outwardly convexly curved shape and an inwardly convexly curved shape, each spring in the outwardly convexly curved shape lying across an upper surface of the base for leaving the accommodation portion open for insertion and removal of an electric part or carrier, and in the inwardly convexly curved shape extending across the accommodation portion for being engaged with a corner of an electric part or carrier positioned in the accommodation portion. The plane of curvature of the springs can be angled so that the spring in the convexly inwardly extending shape extends into the accommodation portion to hold an electric part or carrier therein.
