First Claim
1. An assistive fine positioning support device for positioning and/or holding a test probe tip suitable for making an electrical contact with electrical components, said test probe tip distanced from associated with a probing head of an electrical test probe, the electrical test probe having a cable with the probing head at one end and a testing instrument connector at the other end, the testing instrument connector being suitable for connecting to a testing instrument, the support device comprising:
- (a) at least one bendable and shape retainable positionable support member having a first support end and a second support end;
(b) a tip adapter at said first support end for connecting said test probe tip to said at least one positionable support member, said tip adapter in direct contact with said test probe tip;
(c) said second support end having means for holding and securing to a surface supporting an electrical component to be probed; and
(d) said test probe tip being remote from said probing head, wherein said assistive fine positioning device supports said test probe tip without supporting said probing head.

Abstract
An assistive fine positioning support device for positioning and/or holding a test probe tip (the test probe tip being distanced from the probing head). The support device includes at least one positionable support member having a first support end and a second support end. A tip adapter at the first support end is for connecting the test probe tip to the at least one positionable support member, the tip adapter being in direct contact with the test probe tip. The second support end having means for holding and securing to a surface supporting an electrical component to be probed.

18. An assistive fine positioning device for positioning and/or holding a test probe tip suitable for making an electrical contact with electrical components, said test probe tip associated with a probing head of an electrical test probe, the electrical test probe having a cable with the probing head at one end and a testing instrument connector at the other end, the testing instrument connector being suitable for connecting to a testing instrument, said test probe tip defining a connection void, said device comprising:
-
(a) at least one bendable and shape retainable support member having a first support end and a second support end; (b) a tip adapter at said first support end for connecting said at least one support member to said test probe tip, said tip adapter including a connection protrusion, said connection protrusion suitable for mating with said connection void; and (c) an adhesive mechanism at said second support end, said adhesive mechanism for attaching said second support end to a surface supporting an electrical component to be probed; (d) wherein said device supports said test probe tip without supporting said probing head. - View Dependent Claims (22)
