Abstract: A bracket hinge and bracket members (10, 10') with a spring biased and movable locking member (30). The locking or latch member (30) has ear parts (38, 39) received in locking openings (25, 25') where wedging surfaces (40, 41) on the ear parts cooperate with complimentary surfaces (42, 42') on the bracket members for bringing the bracket members into a tight end-to-end alignment when the bracket members are in an extended position.

Abstract: Process for loading of test pins into printed circuit board test fixtures. Test pins are loaded into a loader body, and locked thereto by a sliding locking plate through frictional engagement at an interface where in test pin hole is of a reduced surface area.
