Flexible printed circuit board holder
View Patent ↗In one embodiment, a holder for holding a flexible printed circuit board includes a main body and at least one securing member. The main body includes a hook portion and a holding member, wherein one of the securing member and the holding member comprises at least one magnet, and the other comprises at least one magnetic portion, at least one magnet or combination thereof such that the securing member capable of being magnetically attached to the holding member.
1. A flexible printed circuit board holder for suspending a flexible printed circuit board, having a plurality of securing holes, the flexible printed circuit board holder comprising:
a hook portion for hanging from a support bar, the hook portion having a stem; and
a magnetic assembly including a holding member connected with the stem, the holding member having a plurality of protrusions for extension through the plurality of securing holes, and a plurality of securing members configured for magnetic attachment to the respective protrusions, thus removably securing the flexible printed circuit board to the magnetic assembly.
2. The flexible printed circuit board holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a hole for receiving the corresponding protrusion is formed in an end of each securing member.
3. The flexible printed circuit board holder as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the each securing member includes a magnet embedded therein.
4. The flexible printed circuit board holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of protrusions are electrically conductive.
5. The flexible printed circuit board holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding member has two arms connected to the stem and extend toward opposite directions.
6. The flexible printed circuit board holder as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the two arms are parallel to each other, the holding member further comprises four holding units, two ends of each arm are respectively fixed to middle portion of two holding units, and two protrusions respectively protrude from two ends of each holding unit.
7. The flexible printed circuit board holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding member is perpendicular to the stem of the hook portion.
8. The flexible printed circuit board holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the magnetic assembly is comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of Nd—Fe—B magnetic materials, Sm—Co magnetic materials, AlNiCo magnetic materials, FeCrCo magnetic materials, Fe 2 O 3 , BaFe 12 O 19 and SrFe 12 O 19 .
9. The flexible printed circuit board holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the magnetic assembly is comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of iron, steel, cobalt, nickel, Fi—Si soft magnetic materials and Fe—Ni soft magnetic material.
