Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A machine for crimping pins of card holders extending through apertures in a printed circuit mother board including: movable support means for supporting the mother board with the pins, through apertures in the mother board, of a card holder extending upwardly in vertical rows, crimping wheels operatively positioned with the support means to contact the pins and outwardly deform the card holder pins when they are moved into contact and past said wheels, and means to move said support means and supported mother boards past said wheels so that when the mother boards and pins means are contacted by and moved past said crimp wheels they will be deformed outwardly to render the pins and card holders relatively secure for presentation to a solder wave.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
