  • Patent number: 5273158
    Abstract: A package for storing and transporting small electronic components. The package is fabricated from flexible polyurethane foam in a rectangular shape which can be roled up into an elongated cylinder and secured in the clyndrical form by a strap or belt encircling the middle of the cylindrical package. When the strap or belt is unfastened, the flexible backing sheet will resume its normal flat rectangular form and the electronic components partially inserted into the compartments formed by plastic foam strips will be readily available for removal and use. The package is light and easy to carry from jobsite to jobsite. This component carrier prevents bending of the terminal wires of the stored electronic components by immobilizing the components and isolating them from each other to prevent injury and accumulation of electrostatic charges which could damage some electronic components.
