Abstract: A contact has a contact nose adapted to contact a terminal of an electric part, and a resilient supporting element adapted to elastically support the contact nose. The nose and supporting element are continuously formed with a predetermined angle defined therebetween such that a continuously formed portion between the nose and supporting element serves as a pressure contact portion for contacting with a conductive member of another electric part under pressure. The supporting element is displaced with the pressure contact portion serving as a supporting point and the contact nose is resiliently displaced.

Abstract: An IC carrier includes an IC accommodating section formed in a central portion of a generally rectangular thin substrate, a lock for holding an IC package body in the IC accommodating section, and a lead wire supporting seat disposed on a substrate portion extending at the periphery of the IC accommodating section and adapted to support lead wire groups projecting sideward from the IC package body. The lead wire supporting seat is defined by a slotless flat surface for accommodating a group of the lead wires over its entire width. The lead wire groups are supported as a package on the lead wire supporting surfaces.

Abstract: A device for detecting the viscosity or specific gravity of liquid has a vibrator, a vibration transmission shaft provided thereon with the vibrator and adapted to transmit the vibration of the vibrator, and a detection terminal connected to one end of the vibration transmission shaft so that the detection terminal immersed in liquid can be vibrated by the vibration of the vibrator. A mass is disposed in a hook-shaped relationship with the vibration transmission shaft at the other end of the vibration transmission shaft. A housing encloses the mass and serves as a grip. A spacer is interposed between the housing and the mass so that the housing is spaced apart from the mass at the peripheral surface thereof, and a vibration absorbing member is mounted on the mass so that the mass is supported by the housing through the vibration absorbing member.
