  • Method of forming flexible electrical circuit connections
    Patent number: 4060889
    Abstract: A system for the connection of flexible electrical circuits to electrical components, particularly gas discharge panels. Flexible circuits are used to carry electrical signals to and/or from various electrical components. In the case of gas discharge panels, the flexible circuits must be carefully and securely held in a fixed position to mate with thick film termination pads from the multiple thin film operating electrodes. The present invention discloses the utilization of a clip member as a major component of a total system for securing such flexible circuits to, as an example, a gas discharge panel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 12, 1976
    Date of Patent: December 6, 1977
    Assignee: Owens-Illinois, Inc.
