Abstract:
1. An apparatus for assembling substrates of a planar fluorescent lamp, comprising: a base that is movable along a process line, the base having an upper surface for placing a first substrate of the fluorescent lamp; at least one movable board over the base, the movable board being mounted such that it is rotatable between a first position and a second position; at least one pair of parallel links each having one end rotatably coupled to the base and the other end rotatably coupled to the movable board such that the movable board is rotatable from the first position to the second position; a plurality of clamping members mounted on the movable board for holding a second substrate of the fluorescent lamp at a position under the movable board; a stopping member mounted in the process line over a direction of movement of the base, for coming into contact with the movable board to cause rotation of the movable board; and a damping member for making a damping action at a time the first, and second substrates of the fluorescent lamp come into contact with each other as the movable board rotates downwardly.
