Abstract

A cleaning tray for electrical components includes a holder having a frame and a pair of crossed inner bars. End portions of the crossed inner bars connect to the frame to separate the frame into four sub-frames. The frame has a bottom bar, two opposite side bars and a top bar which is tilted against the bottom bar for facilitating dropping water. Several male fasteners are formed along inner borders of each of the sub-frames. The cleaning tray is shared by those different electrical components and consequently to reduce tray cost, simplify manufacturing process and increase productive efficiency. The invention also discloses a carrying tool for electrical components with the cleaning tray.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cleaning tray for electrical components comprising:
 a holder having a frame and a pair of crossed inner bars, end portions of the crossed inner bars connecting to the frame to separate the frame into a plurality of sub-frames;   wherein the frame has a bottom bar, two opposite side bars and a top bar which is tilted against the bottom bar for facilitating dropping water, and a plurality of male fasteners are formed along inner borders of each of the sub-frames.   
   
   
       2 . The cleaning tray as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one of the crossed inner bars is tilted against the bottom bar for facilitating dropping water. 
   
   
       3 . The cleaning tray as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bottom bar is thinner than the top bar for facilitating ultrasonic cleaning. 
   
   
       4 . The cleaning tray as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one side of the frame forms at least one protrusion and an opposite side of the frame defines at least one cutout such that two holders are stacked by aligning and engaging the protrusion of one of the holders with the cutout of the other holder. 
   
   
       5 . The cleaning tray as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one supporter configured for supporting the electrical components thereon, the supporter having a plurality of female fasteners for detachably engaging with the male fasteners of the sub-frames. 
   
   
       6 . The cleaning tray as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the male fasteners each have a raised portion, and the female fasteners each have a recessed portion for engaging with the raised portion. 
   
   
       7 . The cleaning tray as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the supporter further has a plurality of poles and sockets adapted to hold the electrical components tightly. 
   
   
       8 . The cleaning tray as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the electrical components are HSA, AFA and/or FPC of disk drive devices. 
   
   
       9 . A carrying tool for electrical components comprising:
 a plurality of cleaning trays, each cleaning tray comprising a holder and at least one supporter, the holder having a frame and a pair of crossed inner bars, end portions of the crossed inner bars connecting to the frame to separate the frame into a plurality of sub-frames, a plurality of male fasteners being formed along inner borders of each of the sub-frames, the supporters being configured for supporting the electrical components thereon, each of the supporters having a plurality of female fasteners for detachably engaging with the male fasteners of the sub-frames, one side of the frame forming at least one protrusion, and an opposite side of the frame defining at least one cutout such that the plurality of cleaning trays are able to be stacked by aligning and engaging the protrusion of one of the cleaning tray with the cutout of another cleaning tray; and   a pair of covers for respectively covering the two outmost cleaning trays thereby sandwiching the stacked cleaning trays.   
   
   
       10 . The carrying tool as claimed in  claim 9 , further comprising a hand-bar for picking up the electrical components to avoid directly handling the electrical components. 
   
   
       11 . The carrying tool as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein two opposite sides of each of the cover each define a notch for securing a clip for locking the pair of covers. 
   
   
       12 . The carrying tool as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the frame has a bottom bar, two opposite side bars and a top bar which is tilted against the bottom bar for facilitating dropping water. 
   
   
       13 . The carrying tool as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein one of the crossed inner bars is tilted against the bottom bar for facilitating dropping water. 
   
   
       14 . The carrying tool as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the bottom bar is thinner than the top bar for facilitating ultrasonic cleaning. 
   
   
       15 . The carrying tool as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the male fasteners each have a raised portion, and the female fasteners each have a recessed portion for engaging with the raised portion. 
   
   
       16 . The carrying tool as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the supporter further has a plurality of poles and sockets adapted to hold the electrical components tightly. 
   
   
       17 . The carrying tool as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the electrical components are HSA, AFA and/or FPC of disk drive devices.
