Abstract
Abstract A printed circuit has additional connections formed on one of its faces by depositing beads of conductive resin on that face. The conductive beads are covered by an insulating coating, and, if required, further conductive beads may be deposited on the insulating coating formed on the first beads.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of making a printed circuit which comprises the steps of: (a) applying to an electrically insulating substrate formed with metallized holes and conductive zones upon a surface of the substrate a first insulation layer through which portions of said zones are exposed; (b) applying over said first insulating layer beads of electrically conductive hardenable synthetic-resin material bridging at least some of said zones to electrically interconnect the same; (c) hardening said beads of synthetic-resin material; (d) applying over the hardened beads while leaving at least some of said holes exposed, a second layer of electrically insulating material; and (e) mounting circuit board components above said second layer with leads extending into and soldered to said holes.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of making a printed circuit which comprises the steps of: (a) applying to an electrically insulating substrate formed with metallized holes and conductive zones upon a surface of the substrate a first insulation layer through which portions of said zones are exposed; (b) applying over said first insulating layer beads of electrically conductive hardenable synthetic-resin material bridging at least some of said zones to electrically interconnect the same; (c) hardening said beads of synthetic-resin material; (d) applying over the hardened beads while leaving at least some of said holes exposed, a second layer of electrically insulating material; and (e) mounting circuit board components above said second layer with leads extending into and soldered to said holes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
92 words
The method defined in claim 1 wherein others of said zones are left exposed by said second layer, said method further comprising the steps of: (f) applying over said second layer further beads of said hardenable electrically conductive synthetic-resin to bridge further ones of said zones left exposed by said second layer prior to the application of said components; (g) hardening said further beads; and (h) applying a third layer of electrically insulating material over the beads hardened in step (g), said components being mounted upon said third layer in step (d).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
111 words
A printed circuit assembly comprising: (a) an electrically insulating board formed with metallized holes and electrically conductive zones upon a surface of said board; (b) a first layer of insulating material overlying the surface of said board provided with said zones and leaving at least some of said zones exposed; (c) a plurality of beads of hardened conductive synthetic resin overlying said first layer and electrically interconnecting at least some of the zones left exposed by said first layer; (d) a second electrically insulating layer overlying said beads and said first layer; and (e) circuit components mounted above said second layer and having leads extending into and soldered to said holes.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
111 words
A printed circuit assembly comprising: (a) an electrically insulating board formed with metallized holes and electrically conductive zones upon a surface of said board; (b) a first layer of insulating material overlying the surface of said board provided with said zones and leaving at least some of said zones exposed; (c) a plurality of beads of hardened conductive synthetic resin overlying said first layer and electrically interconnecting at least some of the zones left exposed by said first layer; (d) a second electrically insulating layer overlying said beads and said first layer; and (e) circuit components mounted above said second layer and having leads extending into and soldered to said holes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
59 words
The assembly defined in claim 3 wherein said second layer leaves others of said zones exposed, said assembly further comprising: (f) further beads of hardened electrically conductive synthetic-resin bridging zones exposed by said second layer and electrically interconnecting same; and (g) a third layer of insulating material overlying the further beads, said components being mounted on said third layer.
