Abstract
Disclosed is a vacuum pick up cap for use with receptacles. This vacuum pick up cap has a planer top section which is adapted to be engaged by a vacuum nozzle and a lower section from which a plurality of pegs project to engage apertures in the top surface of the receptacle. These pegs have upper and lower longitudinal sections having different axial dimensions so as to be engageable with receptacles having different size apertures. These upper and lower sections may also have longitudinal axes which are laterally displaced from each other to enable the cap to be used on receptacles having rows of apertures which are displaced at different distances.
