STANDARD TRAY CARRIER FOR ALIGNING TRAYS

摘要

A carrier tray has a channel for holding a plurality of component trays in a single row, with no spacing between the component trays. The component trays ride on a bottom tray support of the channel. The channel has first and second side rails or tabs extending over opposing first and second edges of the component trays for the purpose of captivating the component trays in an upward vertical direction. The channel also includes first and second side containment walls for securing the component trays laterally in the channel. The carrier tray has an end stop at a distal end of the channel for restricting movement of the row of component trays. The component trays are inserted in the channel by sliding each component tray in a proximal end of the channel. A resilient retainer apparatus at the proximal end urges the trays together.
