Apparatus for carrying plural printed circuit boards for semiconductor module
First Claim
1. An apparatus for carrying a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) for semiconductor modules, said apparatus comprising:
- a rectangular main frame formed with an inside space for the plurality of PCBs, said main frame including an inside wall provided with a plurality of receivers corresponding to the PCBs, wherein a first edge of each PCB is accommodated in a respective one of said receivers;
a clamp frame mechanically joined to said main frame by at least one fasteners, said clamp frame having a support plate for a second edge opposite to the first edge of each PCB, and said clamp frame having a fixed wall opposite to said support plate; and
one or more movable clamps located in the inside space of said main frame, said movable clamps being elastically connected to said fixed wall of said clamp frame so as to push the second edge of the PCBs toward said receivers of said main frame, whereby the PCBs are fixed by both said movable clamps and said main frame,wherein said main frame provides an adjustable mounting for said fasteners, the adjustable mounting allowing a movement of said fasteners, whereby said apparatus can be adjusted to carry PCBs of different lengths along a third edge of the PCBs.

Abstract
An apparatus for carrying plural printed circuit boards (PCBs) for semiconductor modules is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a main frame which is formed with an inside space for the PCBs. The main frame includes receivers for supporting one shorter edge of the PCBs. A clamp frame joined to the main frame includes a support plate for the other shorter edge of the PCBs. Movable clamps are elastically connected to the clamp frame so as to push the PCBs by elastic force when the PCBs are loaded into the apparatus. A adjustable mounting such as a slot or holes is provided in the main frame for fasteners joining two frames each other. Therefore, the apparatus can carry the PCBs of different size. The elastic connection between the clamp and the clamp frame is preferably made by slide bars and elastic members. Clamp holes, sub-walls, partition walls, hollow corners, and so forth may be preferably provided for the apparatus.
