Abstract
Abstract In a method of mounting an electronic component wherein the electronic component is temporarily mounted on a printed circuit board before the component is securely mounted on the base plate by soldering, the improvement comprises steps of delivering adhesive to the front end of a coating head of an adhesive applicator, transferring the adhesive on to the printed circuit board between connection lands provided thereon for placement of the electronic component, and then positioning the electronic component on the adhesive applied to allow the electronic component to be held in position, with its bottom surface and a part of its side surface put in contact with the adhesive. The electronic component is thus mounted temporarily on the printed circuit board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A method of mounting an electronic component of leadless type onto a printed circuit board comprising the steps of applying adhesive to the board at least at two locations and between connection lands provided on the board, said two locations being spaced by a distance not less than but substantially equal to the width of the electronic component, placing the electronic component on the adhesive to retain it in position with its bottom surface and part of its side surfaces in contact with the adhesive, and curing the adhesive by ultraviolet rays or heat, thereby temporarily holding the electronic component on the board before soldering it thereto.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
107 words
A method of mounting an electronic component of leadless type onto a printed circuit board comprising the steps of applying adhesive to the board at least at two locations and between connection lands provided on the board, said two locations being spaced by a distance not less than but substantially equal to the width of the electronic component, placing the electronic component on the adhesive to retain it in position with its bottom surface and part of its side surfaces in contact with the adhesive, and curing the adhesive by ultraviolet rays or heat, thereby temporarily holding the electronic component on the board before soldering it thereto.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
116 words
A method of mounting an electronic component having a bottom surface of predetermined width onto a printed circuit board comprising the steps of applying adhesive to the board at least at two locations wherein the remote edges of the adhesive at said two locations are spaced apart a distance greater than the width of said bottom surface and the near proximity of the adhesive at said two locations is less than the width of said bottom surface, and placing the electronic component on the adhesive between the remote edges thereof with it bottom surface and at least part of its side surface in contact with the adhesive thereby temporarily holding the electronic component on the board.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
116 words
A method of mounting an electronic component having a bottom surface of predetermined width onto a printed circuit board comprising the steps of applying adhesive to the board at least at two locations wherein the remote edges of the adhesive at said two locations are spaced apart a distance greater than the width of said bottom surface and the near proximity of the adhesive at said two locations is less than the width of said bottom surface, and placing the electronic component on the adhesive between the remote edges thereof with it bottom surface and at least part of its side surface in contact with the adhesive thereby temporarily holding the electronic component on the board.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
68 words
A method as defined in claim 1 or 2, wherein a layer of adhesive having uniform thickness is preliminarily prepared by an adhesive supply means, a coating head having projections in corresponding relation to said locations is brought into contact with the adhesive layer to supply a specific small amount of adhesive onto each of the projections, and the adhesive on the projections is transferred to said locations.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
59 words
A method as defined in claim 1 or 2, wherein a specified small amount of adhesive is supplied under pressure to the front end of each of small-diameter pipes projecting from a coating head, the pipes being spaced in corresponding relation to said locations, and the adhesive at the front ends of the pipes is transferred to said locations.
