Holder for circuit boards in computer - has row of hinged sections each holding rear edge of one board for ease of maintenance

摘要

The holder, for circuit boards, in computers, has a row of sections (8) hinged together and each carrying a circuit board (7). The boards are electrically connected by flexible flat cables. The front edges of the boards have clasps (9) that hold them together into a rigid assembly. One end of the row of hinged sections is pivoted (13) to the holders frame whilst the other end is free to travel along a slot (14) in the frame, when one or more of the clasps is undone. The arrangement permits service work to be carried out without interrupting operation.
