Abstract
A printed circuit board support, conveying system, and processing system. In accordance with the present invention, a printed circuit board support is provided comprising a support base, a spacer, and a spacer securement. The support base defines a support surface. The spacer engages the support surface. The spacer securement includes a projection and a recess. The projection adjoins one of the support base and the spacer. The recess is formed in the other of the support base and the spacer. The projection extends into the recess and the projection and the recess are configured such that the extension of the projection into the recess limits movement of the spacer relative to a plane parallel to the support surface.
Claims10
A printed circuit board support comprising:
- a support base defining a support surface;
- a spacer engaging said support surface, wherein
- said spacer defines an upper spacer surface spaced from and substantially parallel to said support surface, and
- said upper spacer surface is sized and configured to support and engage a substantially major portion of a printed circuit board;
- and
- a spacer securement including a projection and a recess, wherein
- said projection is mounted to or formed integrally with one of said support base and said spacer,
- said recess is formed in one of said support base and said spacer,
- said projection extends into said recess, and
- said projection and said recess are configured such that said extension of said projection into said recess limits movement of said spacer relative to a plane parallel to said support surface.
A printed circuit board support comprising a support base wherein:
- said support base defines a support surface;
- said support base defines a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a pair of lateral edges;
- said support base defines a cut-out formed therein;
- and
- said cut-out is positioned between said pair of lateral edges and extends from said leading edge in the direction of said trailing edge to a position between said leading edge and said trailing edge, wherein said cut-out transects the thickness of said support base.
