Abstract

Abstract A component for surface mounting is fixed by means of adhesive to a surface of a member. For improving the adhesion, the fixable surface of the component includes a structure which makes it possible, first, for this fixable surface to lie flush against the surface of the member. Second, the structure of the fixable surface also makes it possible for a quantity of adhesive adequate for fixing to remain between the fixable surface of the component and the surface of the member.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 128 words
A component for surface mounting on a member, the component having a housing of arbitrary dimensions and having an arbitrary number of legs, comprising in combination: a member having a surface; a component having a component housing; an adhesive compound between said surface and said component housing; a fixable surface on said component housing fixed with said adhesive to said surface of said member, said fixable surface of said component housing including a single cavity and including portions of said fixable surface lying flush on said surface of said member, said single cavity of said flexible surface enabling a quantity of said adhesive adequate for fixing said component housing to said member to remain between said fixable surface of said component housing and said surface of said member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 128 words
A component for surface mounting on a member, the component having a housing of arbitrary dimensions and having an arbitrary number of legs, comprising in combination: a member having a surface; a component having a component housing; an adhesive compound between said surface and said component housing; a fixable surface on said component housing fixed with said adhesive to said surface of said member, said fixable surface of said component housing including a single cavity and including portions of said fixable surface lying flush on said surface of said member, said single cavity of said flexible surface enabling a quantity of said adhesive adequate for fixing said component housing to said member to remain between said fixable surface of said component housing and said surface of said member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 60 words
A component as claimed in claim 1, wherein said adhesive compound is provided on said flexible surface of said component housing before said component housing is fixed to said surface of said member, said single cavity of said fixable surface accepting said adhesive compound so that said portions of said fixable surface lie flush on said surface of said member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
A component as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: an adhesive film employed as said adhesive.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
A component as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a two component adhesive employed as said adhesive.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 99 words
A component for surface mounting on a surface of a member, comprising in combination: a member having a surface on which a component is to be mounted; a component including means for establishing a defined position of said component relative to said surface of said member, said means including a fixable surface of said component, with portions of said fixable surface resting on said surface of said member to establish said defined position, said portions defining a single cavity therebetween; and an adhesive between said component and said surface of said member, said adhesive being in said single cavity.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 99 words
A component for surface mounting on a surface of a member, comprising in combination: a member having a surface on which a component is to be mounted; a component including means for establishing a defined position of said component relative to said surface of said member, said means including a fixable surface of said component, with portions of said fixable surface resting on said surface of said member to establish said defined position, said portions defining a single cavity therebetween; and an adhesive between said component and said surface of said member, said adhesive being in said single cavity.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 114 words
A method for fastening a component for surface mounting, the component having arbitrary dimensions and having an arbitrary number of terminal legs, fixable surface of the component for fixing to a surface of a member by means of an adhesive, wherein the fixable surface of said component is structured such for improving adhesion, comprising: planarly applying a quantity of adhesive to the surface of the member; placing portions of the fixable surface of the component flush on the surface of the member; and enabling a quantity of adhesive adequate for fixing to remain between the fixable surface of the component and the surface of the member in a single cavity in said fixable surface.
Claim 9
Independent Claim 114 words
A method for fastening a component for surface mounting, the component having arbitrary dimensions and having an arbitrary number of terminal legs, fixable surface of the component for fixing to a surface of a member by means of an adhesive, wherein the fixable surface of said component is structured such for improving adhesion, comprising: planarly applying a quantity of adhesive to the surface of the member; placing portions of the fixable surface of the component flush on the surface of the member; and enabling a quantity of adhesive adequate for fixing to remain between the fixable surface of the component and the surface of the member in a single cavity in said fixable surface.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 23 words
A method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a quantity of the adhesive is applied by spraying to the surface of said member.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 23 words
A method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a quantity of the adhesive is applied to the surface of said member by printing.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a quantity of the adhesive is applied in the form of an adhesive film.
