  • Patent number: 4520934
    Abstract: In a cradle adapted to receive a carrier, which carries semiconductor elements stored therein, for mounting the carrier on a predetermined position of a spin drier, a pair of stepped portions which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to a rear wall of the cradle is provided on the rear wall of the cradle so that leg portions of the carrier are received between the stepped portions. The stepped portions serve to prevent the leg portions of the carrier from opening during the spinning of the carrier. The cradle can thus avoid damages of the semiconductor elements stored in the carrier, which damages would otherwise be caused to occur due to opening of the leg portions.
