  • Patent number: 7715212
    Abstract: A printed board includes a printed board body and throwaway boards provided on opposite sides of the printed board body through joining portions spaced away from each other in a longitudinal direction. Bores are provided in areas bridging the joining portions and throwaway boards. The bores can receive guide pins on a conveying unit for carrying the printed board to an electronic element mounting apparatus. The joining portions and throwaway boards can be removed from the printed board body after mounting the electronic elements on the printed board. This structure can minimize a width of a throwaway board and reduce total costs without lowering mounting efficiency of electronic elements in an electronic element mounting step.

  • Patent number: 5604332
    Abstract: A circuit insulating plate is interposed between neighboring ones of bus bars provided in stages in an electrical connection box. A portion, which confronts a plurality of tabs projecting at a short interval from one of the neighboring ones of the bus bars, includes a through-opening having a large area such that the tabs are passed through the through-opening. A rib extends along a peripheral edge of the through-opening, and the area is set so that the rib fits closely within a through-opening of an adjacent circuit insulating plate.
