Abstract
An adaptor is mounted on one end of a narrow-sized elongated electronic element stick which contains therein a number of electronic elements in a row. The stick is used with an electronic element dispenser which includes an inlet aperture and a guide frame having a pair of side walls for receiving and guiding the one end of the stick therebetween to lead the one end of the stick into a position adjacent to the inlet aperture of the dispenser. The adaptor comprises a base plate for supporting the bottom of the stick and a pair of elastic side walls extending upwardly and inwardly from opposed side edges of the base plate. The base plate of the adaptor has a width larger than the width of the bottom of the stick and slightly smaller than the spacing between the side walls of the guide frame.
