Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
202 words
Electrical connecting means for connecting circuit means on adjacent support means carrying the circuit means comprising: first electrical connector means on first dielectric support means having first electrical circuit means thereon, said first electrical connector means electrically connected to said first electrical circuit means; second electrical connector means on second dielectric support means having second electrical circuit means thereon, said second electrical connector means electrically connected to said second electrical circuit means; said first and second electrical connector means being in alignment when said first and second support means are disposed adjacent one another; and a plurality of contact means including dielectric carrier means and a plurality of isolated pin means carried by said carrier means extending outwardly from said carrier means, said pin means mateably engaged with respectively aligned first and second electrical connector means electrically connecting same and said electrical circuit means and to enable one of said support means to be moved away from the other of said support means upon removal of said contact means from said aligned first and second electrical connector means and to selectively remove said contact means from said aligned first and second electrical connector means thereby isolating selective ones of said circuit means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
202 words
Electrical connecting means for connecting circuit means on adjacent support means carrying the circuit means comprising: first electrical connector means on first dielectric support means having first electrical circuit means thereon, said first electrical connector means electrically connected to said first electrical circuit means; second electrical connector means on second dielectric support means having second electrical circuit means thereon, said second electrical connector means electrically connected to said second electrical circuit means; said first and second electrical connector means being in alignment when said first and second support means are disposed adjacent one another; and a plurality of contact means including dielectric carrier means and a plurality of isolated pin means carried by said carrier means extending outwardly from said carrier means, said pin means mateably engaged with respectively aligned first and second electrical connector means electrically connecting same and said electrical circuit means and to enable one of said support means to be moved away from the other of said support means upon removal of said contact means from said aligned first and second electrical connector means and to selectively remove said contact means from said aligned first and second electrical connector means thereby isolating selective ones of said circuit means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
Electrical connecting means according to claim 1 wherein said first electrical connector means extend parallel with said first support means and said electrical connector means are perpendicular with said second support means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
Electrical connecting means according to claim 1 wherein said contact means have comb-shaped configuration.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
Electrical connecting means according to claim 1 wherein said first electrical connector means are disposed in dielectric housing means.
