Device for forming connection elements
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a device for forming connections of a printed circuit board which is arranged within a signal receiver frame. The device comprises a plurality of connection elements ( 3 a . . . 3 k ) whose end portions are bent, each end portion being provided with at least one projection ( 5 ). Between each time two connection elements ( 3 a . . . 3 k ) there is provided a respective detainer ( 4 a . . . 4 j ) whose end portion is also bent. The end portions of the connection elements ( 3 a . . . 3 k ) define a plane which extends parallel to a plane defined by the end portions of the detainers ( 4 a . . . 4 j ).
1. A device comprising:
a plurality of connection elements extending outwardly from a common planar base and having a bent end portion extending substantially normal to the plane of said base; and
a respective detainer extending outwardly from said planar base coplanar with said plurality of connection elements, said respective detainer having a bent end portion extending substantially normal to the plane of said base in a direction opposite to the direction of said connection element bent portion, and at least one said detainer being provided between each two adajacent connection elements,
the end portions of said connection elements defining a plane which extends parallel to a plane defined by the end portions of said detainers.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device consists of one piece.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein the connection elements and detainers are L-shaped.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein the connection elements, the detainers and the connection stips uniformly consist of an electrically conductive material.
5. The device of claim 1 wherein each end portion of the connection elements is provided with at least one projection.
6. An arrangement which include a frame, notably for receiving a printed circuit board for a signal receiver with a device connected to the frame, which devise comprises:
a plurality of connection elements extending outwardly from a common planar base and having a bent end portion extending substantially normal to the plane of said base; and
a respective detainer extending outwardly from said planar base coplanar with said plurality of connection elements, said respective detainer having a bent end portion extending substantially normal to the plane of said base in a direction opposite to the direction of said connection element bent portion, and at least one said detainer being provided between each two adjacent connection elements,
the end portions of said connection elements defining a plane which extends parallel to a plane defined by the end portions of said detainers.
7. The device of claim 1 wherein said bent end portion of said connection element and said bent end portion of said detainer which extends in a direction opposite from said common base plane lie In respective parallel spaced planes.
