Abstract
Abstract A structure of joining two printed circuit boards with solder. A reserve solder layer is applied on a pattern of joint leads of the printed circuit on a base plate of the first board. A similar pattern of high thermal conductivity to the pattern of joint leads of the second printed circuit board is formed on the opposite or back surface of the base plate thereof in almost or exact coincidence with the latter. To join the first and second boards, the latter is turned upside down and then its joint lead pattern is put on the solder layer in registry with that of the first board. And it is at a point on each patch of the thermal conductivity pattern that heat is then applied thereto to obtain the structure between the joint leads of the two printed circuit boards.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A printed circuit board for use in joining a plurality of printed circuit boards at joint pattern portions, thereof comprising, a plurality of joint patterns on a base plate cut to a comb teeth like shape so that a joint end portion of said joint pattern takes the form of extensions of said joint pattern; and base portions of said comb teeth shaped extensions being formed to a pattern of narrower width than said joint pattern.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A printed circuit board for use in joining a plurality of printed circuit boards at joint pattern portions, thereof comprising, a plurality of joint patterns on a base plate cut to a comb teeth like shape so that a joint end portion of said joint pattern takes the form of extensions of said joint pattern; and base portions of said comb teeth shaped extensions being formed to a pattern of narrower width than said joint pattern.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
99 words
A printed circuit board for use in joining a plurality of printed circuit boards at joint pattern portions thereof, comprising, a plurality of joint patterns on a base plate cut at a joint end portion of said joint pattern in such a way that said joint pattern extends like comb teeth; and cutouts termed in the base portions of said comb teeth shaped expansions of said joint pattern in a direction to cut in said joint pattern, the base portions of the comb teeth shaped extensions being cutout to have a width narrower than that of the joint pattern.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
99 words
A printed circuit board for use in joining a plurality of printed circuit boards at joint pattern portions thereof, comprising, a plurality of joint patterns on a base plate cut at a joint end portion of said joint pattern in such a way that said joint pattern extends like comb teeth; and cutouts termed in the base portions of said comb teeth shaped expansions of said joint pattern in a direction to cut in said joint pattern, the base portions of the comb teeth shaped extensions being cutout to have a width narrower than that of the joint pattern.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A printed circuit board according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of joint patterns of a first circuit board are joined to a plurality of joint patterns of another printed circuit board with a thermal welding electrically conductive material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A printed circuit board according to claim 3, wherein the joint patterns of said another printed circuit board are wider than the width of said comb teeth-shaped extensions of said joint pattern of said first circuit board.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
A printed circuit board according to claim 2, wherein said joint patterns of a first circuit board are joined to a plurality of joint patterns of another printed circuit board with a thermal welding electrically conductive material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A printed circuit board according to claim 5, wherein the joint patterns of said another printed circuit board have a wider width than the width of said comb teeth-shaped extensions of said joint pattern of said first printed circuit board.
