Abstract
A mounting panel is provided for removable elements, in particular for educational toys, for forming simple "in the air" electronic assemblies of the "Eiffel tower" assembly type, from elementary components, comprising a support pierced with holes opening into at least one surface of the support and containing respectively tufts of hairs parallel to each other. These tufts of hairs form studs which may be used for fitting longitudinally therein the legs of components to be mounted on the panel. For facilitating the fabrication of such a panel the tufts of parallel hairs are engaged in the respective holes of the support by leaving a part of the hairs extending outwardly in the manner of the hairs of a brush and then the tufts of hairs are cut flush with the face of the support in which the holes open out.
Claims7
A mounting panel for removable elements, in particular for educational toys, for effecting simple "in the air" electronic assemblies of the "Eiffel Tower " assembly type, from elementary components having legs for mounting the removable elements onto said mounting panel, comprising:
- a support pierced with holes opening into at least one face of the support;
- in each said holes, tufts of hairs parallel to each other thus forming studs which may be used for fixing longitudinally therein the legs of components to be mounted on the panel, said tufts of parallel hairs being engaged in the respective holes of said support while having said hairs in said hole adjacent to each other in the manner of the hairs of a brush;
- said tufts of hairs being cut flush with the face of the support in which said holes open out;
- in each said hole said tufts of hairs are packed so that each hair forms a sort of U in the hole;
- and
- said U-shaped hairs of each said tuft being fixed in said hole by means of a nail driven into the bottom of the hole.
A method of fabricating a mounting panel for removable elements, in particular for educational toys, for effecting simple "in the air" electronic assemblies of the "Eiffel Tower" assembly type, from elementary components having legs for mounting the removable elements onto said mounting panel, comprising:
- piercing a support to provide holes opening into at least one face of the support;
- inserting into said holes tufts of hair parallel to each other thus forming studs which may be used for fixing longitudinally therein said legs of the components to be mounted on said panel;
- engaging the tufts of paralle hairs in the respective holes of said support while leaving a part of the hairs extending outwardly in the manner of the hairs of a brush;
- cutting the tufts of hairs flush with the face of the support in which the holes open out;
- packing the tufts of haris in each hole so that each hair forms a sort of U in the hole;
- and
- fixing the U-shaped hairs of each tuft in the hole by means of a nail driven into the bottom of the hole.
