Abstract
An apparatus for securing electronic devices on a carrier for storing electronic devices during transportation of the electronic devices on the carrier has a guiding track for guiding motion of the carrier when the carrier receives electronic devices. A magnetic track located adjacent to the guiding track attracts the electronic devices onto the carrier with a magnetic attraction force. In particular, the magnetic track has a support surface facing the carrier that has a smaller width than a width of a portion of the magnetic track that is spaced from the support surface.
