Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A support for printed circuit boards formed by a column comprising at least one base on which a circuit board is to be supported, a collar for insertion in a hole in the circuit board, and a coupling member, wherein a damper can be inserted between said base and said circuit board, the compression of said damper being ensured by said coupling member which includes clip means for clipping said coupling member to said circuit board by engaging both the upper and the lower surface of said board, said coupling member including additional means for engaging part of said column.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A support for printed circuit boards formed by a column comprising at least one base on which a circuit board is to be supported, a collar for insertion in a hole in the circuit board, and a coupling member, wherein a damper can be inserted between said base and said circuit board, the compression of said damper being ensured by said coupling member which includes clip means for clipping said coupling member to said circuit board by engaging both the upper and the lower surface of said board, said coupling member including additional means for engaging part of said column.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A support for printed circuit boards as claimed in claim 1, wherein the damper is a core of a synthetic material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A support for printed circuit boards as claimed in either of claims 1 or 2, wherein the column is provided with two bases opposite to each other forming bases for two circuit boards.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
71 words
A support for printed circuit boards as claimed in claim 3, wherein the coupling member is a sheet placed longitudinally to the column and provided at its two extremities with clip means which clips said coupling member to both said circuit boards by engaging both the upper and lower surface of each board, the sheet being moreover provided in its center with a clip enclosing the median part of the column.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
80 words
A support for printed circuit boards as claimed in claim 3, wherein the coupling member is a sheet placed longitudinally to the column and provided at its two extremities with clip means which clips said coupling member to both said circuit boards by engaging both the upper and lower surface of each board, said sheet being moreover provided at each of its two extremities with a flexible element, the two flexible elements enclosing by their median part two contiguous columns.
