  • Mounting jig assemblies for supporting test components on testing platforms of testing assemblies
    Patent number: 11047781
    Abstract: The mounting jig assembly includes a jig body and a clamp assembly. The jig body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a front wall, a rear wall, and a pair of side walls. The jig body is configured to support the test component on the testing assembly with the test component in contact with the top surface and the bottom surface in contact with the testing platform. The jig body defines an elongated opening that extends between the top surface and the bottom surface. The top surface being oriented obliquely with respect to the bottom surface. The clamp assembly is moveable between a clamped position and an unclamped position. In the clamped position the clamp assembly inhibits movement of the test component with respect to the jig body. In the unclamped position the clamp assembly permits movement of the test component with respect to the jig body.
