Abstract
Abstract A wire harness board comprises a foamed plastic panel, a first layer of wire mesh secured to one surface of the panel, a second layer of wire mesh secured in parallel relationship to the opposite surface of the panel, and a border that snugly fits over the parallel surfaces of the foamed panel with the wire mesh joined thereto. A unique method of forming such wire harness board, including the application of heat and pressure for a predetermined interval of time, is also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A wire harness board comprising: a. a panel including a body with upper and lower parallel surfaces, b. said panel being formed of a resilient closedcell material, c. first and second layers of wire mesh secured to the upper and lower surfaces of said panel, d. an inwardly opening frame for receiving said panel and retaining same therewithin, e. a plurality of elongated pins detachably insertable through said panel and through selected openings in at least one of said layers of wire mesh, f. the openings in the wire mesh being slightly greater in size than the diameter of the pins inserted therethrough, the invention being characterized in that said wire mesh layers are permanently embedded within the body of said panel at the upper and lower surfaces thereof so that said pins are guided in a vertical direction through said panel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A wire harness board as defined in claim 1 wherein the panel of resilient material consists of a foamed, cellular plastic that becomes tacky when exposed to temperatures ranging between 325°F. and 400°F.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A wire harness board as defined in claim 1 wherein the layers of wire mesh are embedded in the panel to a depth corresponding to one-half of the thickness of the mesh.
