  • Guide rail for supporting boards
    Patent number: 4779744
    Abstract: A printed circuit board guide rail has one or more detents projecting far enough into the area traversed by the board to apply a horizontal holding and an antivibration pressure thereto. A notch window is formed in the part of the rail under the detent to give it a fixed-fixed suspended leaf spring quality for minimumizing vibration. The unnotched remainder of the rail enables a printed circuit board to slide freely thereover. The rail is arched to give vertical stability.
