Abstract
In a support device for printed circuit broads with a support structure, equipped with at least one board guiding groove, a locking group has the task of locking detachably the boards. The support structure has at least one transversal cutting which crosses the groove and cooperates with the locking group. The locking group includes a guiding element which slides inside a relative guiding seat. One end of the guiding element is connected to a plate provided with at least one locking element which is introduced inside the transversal cutting for locking the board.

A support device for boards, in particular for printed circuits, including:
- a support structure longitudinally equipped with at least one board guiding groove and with a base area detachably fastened to a suitable carrier;
- at least one transversal cutting made across said groove;
- a locking group associated to said support structure and taking two positions, namely a locking position, to detachably lock the boards, and a release position, to free the boards;
- a guiding element for connecting said locking group to said support structure, said guiding element moving inside a relative guiding seat and having an axis transversal with respect to said guiding groove;
- a plate associated to said locking group and provided with at least one locking element set in engagement with said transversal cutting when said locking group is in said locking position, for locking a board inserted into said grooves, and released from said transversal cutting to let said board free when said locking group is in said release position;
- said support device being characterised in that said locking element (11a) is positioned at a different level than the guiding element (9,19).
