Abstract
A supporting structure for an IC package which has a socket for receiving an IC package, a cover member rotatably attached to one end of the socket and a locking lever member rotatably attached to the other end of the socket for locking the cover member to the socket when the cover member is in the closed position. A first coupling connects one or the other or both ends of the socket to the cover member and/or the locking lever member so that they can be separated by properly rotationally positioning the cover member or locking lever member and sliding it laterally and axially along the axis of rotation thereof. A second coupling is provided which can be used for connecting one or both of the cover member and/or the locking lever member to the socket along with or in place of the first coupling, the second coupling enabling removal of the cover member or the locking lever member by sliding laterally and transversely of the axis of rotation thereof.
