Abstract
Abstract A rack for supporting a plurality of printed circuit cards in vertically stacked relation is formed by a pair of plates having U-shaped cross sections. Each plate has a wall member arranged in spaced-parallel relation to the other such member and a pair of outwardly turned flange members. Both wall members have a series of guide slots cut therethrough which are correspondingly paired and vertically aligned for slidably receiving opposite ends of the individual cards. The guide slots have enlarged opposite ends that respectively define a series of apertures which communicate with the flange members in a manner facilitating receipt of the cards.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A rack for a plurality of printed circuit cards, which comprises: first and second substantially rectangular wall members, each of said wall members having a longitudinally extending flange portion along one edge thereof; means supporting said wall members in spaced-parallel relation in a manner such that their respective flange portions are outwardly turned; means defining a plurality of transversely extending slots in each of said wall members and into which such cards are respectively slidingly receivable, each of said slots in said first wall member being correspondingly aligned with each of said slots in said second wall member in a manner for respectively supporting such cards therebetween in stacked relation; and means defining a longitudinally extending series of apertures in each of said wall members, each of said apertures respectively communicating with said slots and one of said flange portions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A rack for a plurality of printed circuit cards, which comprises: first and second substantially rectangular wall members, each of said wall members having a longitudinally extending flange portion along one edge thereof; means supporting said wall members in spaced-parallel relation in a manner such that their respective flange portions are outwardly turned; means defining a plurality of transversely extending slots in each of said wall members and into which such cards are respectively slidingly receivable, each of said slots in said first wall member being correspondingly aligned with each of said slots in said second wall member in a manner for respectively supporting such cards therebetween in stacked relation; and means defining a longitudinally extending series of apertures in each of said wall members, each of said apertures respectively communicating with said slots and one of said flange portions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
A rack for a plurality of printed circuit cards as recited in claim 1, wherein: each of said slots has a pair of opposite ends, at least one of said opposite ends being enlarged relative to the width of said slots to respectively define said apertures; and each of said apertures being tapered toward a respective one of said slots.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
126 words
An article of manufacture to be included in the assembly of a rack for a plurality of cards, which comprises: a plate, said plate having a central portion and a pair of opposite edge portions, said edge portions being spaced from each other by said central portion; means defining a pair of grooves in said plate, said grooves respectively separating said edge portions from said central portion; means defining a series of slots in said plate, each of said slots extending across said central portion toward said grooves and being shaped to slidingly receive a card; and means defining a series of apertures in said plate, each of said apertures being disposed in spaced relation along one of said grooves and respectively communicating with said slots.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
126 words
An article of manufacture to be included in the assembly of a rack for a plurality of cards, which comprises: a plate, said plate having a central portion and a pair of opposite edge portions, said edge portions being spaced from each other by said central portion; means defining a pair of grooves in said plate, said grooves respectively separating said edge portions from said central portion; means defining a series of slots in said plate, each of said slots extending across said central portion toward said grooves and being shaped to slidingly receive a card; and means defining a series of apertures in said plate, each of said apertures being disposed in spaced relation along one of said grooves and respectively communicating with said slots.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
62 words
An article of manufacture as recited in claim 3, wherein: each of said slots is arranged in substantially parallel-spaced relation and has a pair of opposite ends, at least one of said opposite ends being enlarged relative to the width of said slots to respectively define said apertures; and each of said apertures being tapered toward a respective one of said slots.
