Abstract: A washing arrangement for and method of removing burrs of moldable substances from upper and lower major surfaces of lead frames on portions of which the burrs were undesirably applied during molding comprises a transfer assembly which is located outside a washing chamber of the arrangement. The transfer assembly is not subject to the hot and humid environment existing within the washing chamber, thereby preventing corrosion, and facilitating ready inspection and maintenance of the arrangement.

Abstract: A hydraulic motor unit is provided wherein a bent axis type axial piston motor having a high operating efficiency is incorporated while the compactness of the unit is maintained. The dimensional features of this invention are attained, in one aspect, from a special arrangement in which a multiple-plate type hydraulically actuated brake unit is disposed in an intermediate position between bearings supporting an output shaft of the hydraulic motor. Another aspect of such dimensional features of this invention resides in the arrangement such that the control valve unit, which can otherwise be a substantial obstacle in the installation work, is located neatly in a space made available by the specific construction peculiar to the bent axis type hydraulic motor unit so that the control valve unit may never become an obstacle in either installed on or removed from a machine or vehicle.
