Abstract: Disclosed is a rigid removable carrier tray for transporting and storing pin sockets. The tray includes one or more arrays of holes of consistent or varying diameter disposed in an upper surface and formed to receive pin sockets. Pin sockets are recessed below the upper surface of the carrier tray when placed in the holes. A flexible adhesive film is disposed over the upper surface of the carrier tray to prevent the pin sockets from falling out of the carrier tray during transport. The pin sockets are installed by removing the adhesive film and press fitting the leads of an integrated circuit ("IC") chip into the pin sockets in the holes. The holes in the array may be arranged in a customized pattern in order to accommodate a particular IC chip, or may be arranged in a generic pattern to accept a variety of IC chips. The carrier tray also includes standoffs with alignment guides and troughs that facilitate stacking and storage.

Abstract: A mop of the "butterfly" type has a flat sponge releasably secured to the lower faces of a pair of base plates mounted for pivotal movement relative to the mop handle, a slide is telescopically sleeved on the handle, a yoke-shaped compression member is pivoted to the slide and slidable relative to the handle and base plates in a camming motion as the slide is moved relative to the handle causing the base plates to pivot relative to the handle to force the sponge into a U-shaped, folded, or face-to-face position to compress the sponge and extract liquid therefrom.

Abstract: The invention provides an evaporative airconditioner comprising a base, side panels and a top and wherein the side panels are supported on the base and have stiles having mitred side edges and wherein adjacent side panels abut and close sides of the airconditioner.A water trough for delivering to the side panels is also used and is an annulus of U-shaped section and is received in complementary formations in the upper ends of the side panels to stabilize those panels and be itself supported by the side panels.Clips may additionally secure the side panels together.The base may include a first platform for air blower means, a second perimetric, platform for the lower ends of the side panels, a perimetric flange to restrict outward movement of the side panels and a water sump.The top may include a perimetric flange to restrict outward movement of the tops of the panels.The airconditioner can have certain standard parts modified so as to be side, top or bottom delivery.
