  • Rack bar for releasably holding plate-shaped parts
    Patent number: 5380418
    Abstract: In a rack bar (12) for immersion electroplating of printed circuit boards (14) elongated spring clips (34) are provided for clamping the printed circuit boards, which spring clips extend substantially in the direction of the rack bar, are rigidly connected to the rack bar at one of their ends and are movable with their other end contacting the printed circuit board between a clamping position and a disengagement position in which the spring clip is lying as a whole beside the printed circuit board. This arrangement permits an easy frontal loading and unloading of the printed circuit boards, has little wear and allows a great exploitation also of the edge area of the printed circuit board.
