Abstract
Abstract Two substrates carrying printed circuit patterns are coupled together back-to-back with an adhesive tape interposed therebetween. A plurality of holes are formed through the substrates, and apertures of small diameter are punched in the portions of the adhesive tape backing these holes. Electric components to be held to the substrate are then inserted through the holes punched in the adhesive tape and soldered firmly into portion by an automatic soldering apparatus.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A two-sided printed circuit board comprising first and second substrates arranged back-to-back with printed circuit patterns being formed on their respective outer faces, said substrates having aligned openings defining passageways through said circuit board for receiving portions of electric components to be soldered to said circuit patterns, said passageways each being wider than its component portion adapted to be received therein to enable said portions to be fitted easily within said passageways, and means including a tape having adhesive material on each side interposed between said substrates and extending at least partially across said passageways for holding said substrates together while providing portions of adhesive tape within said passageways that can be deflected along wall portions of said passageways upon insertion of said components thereinto for holding electric components therewithin during soldering of said components to said circuit patterns, the portions of said tape deflected along said wall being substantially a full thickness thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A two-sided printed circuit board comprising first and second substrates arranged back-to-back with printed circuit patterns being formed on their respective outer faces, said substrates having aligned openings defining passageways through said circuit board for receiving portions of electric components to be soldered to said circuit patterns, said passageways each being wider than its component portion adapted to be received therein to enable said portions to be fitted easily within said passageways, and means including a tape having adhesive material on each side interposed between said substrates and extending at least partially across said passageways for holding said substrates together while providing portions of adhesive tape within said passageways that can be deflected along wall portions of said passageways upon insertion of said components thereinto for holding electric components therewithin during soldering of said components to said circuit patterns, the portions of said tape deflected along said wall being substantially a full thickness thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A two-sided printed circuit board according to claim 1, said adhesive tape extending completely across said passageway but being weakened in central areas therewithin to enable said electric components to be inserted in said passageways.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
156 words
A method of assembling electric components to a printed circuit board having circuit patterns on each face thereof, including: forming said circuit board by placing two substrates each adapted to have circuit patterns on their respective outer faces in back-to-back relation with a flexible tape having adhesive material on each side being placed therebetween, said substrate having aligned openings defining passageways through said circuit board for receiving portions of said electric components, said passageways each being wider than its component portion received therein to enable said portions to be fitted easily within the passageways, said flexible tape extending at least partially across said passageways; inserting at least portions of said electric components into respective ones of said passageways and holding said components therewithin by portions of said flexible tape having substantially a full thickness thereof deflected along wall portions of said passageways upon insertion of said components thereinto; and soldering said components to said circuit patterns.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
156 words
A method of assembling electric components to a printed circuit board having circuit patterns on each face thereof, including: forming said circuit board by placing two substrates each adapted to have circuit patterns on their respective outer faces in back-to-back relation with a flexible tape having adhesive material on each side being placed therebetween, said substrate having aligned openings defining passageways through said circuit board for receiving portions of said electric components, said passageways each being wider than its component portion received therein to enable said portions to be fitted easily within the passageways, said flexible tape extending at least partially across said passageways; inserting at least portions of said electric components into respective ones of said passageways and holding said components therewithin by portions of said flexible tape having substantially a full thickness thereof deflected along wall portions of said passageways upon insertion of said components thereinto; and soldering said components to said circuit patterns.
