PHOTOFLASH LAMP ARRAY HAVING SUPPORT STRUCTURE ON BASE

摘要

A multilamp flash unit comprising a two-sided linear array of reflectors and photoflash lamps connected to a printed circuit board supported on a plastic base. The assembly is enclosed by a transparent cover, and the printed circuit board has a contact tab which projects through a slot in the base for insertion into an edge connector. Firm location of the printed circuit board and tab position is provided by a support structure comprising a pair of flexible, bifurcated posts which project upwardly from the base on both sides of the slot therein and each of which resiliently engage opposite sides of the printed circuit board by means of flatted protruding portions on the sides of a slot in each post.
