Abstract:
A clamp for holding an electronic substrate with a top side, a bottom side, and an edge, against a frame, the clamp comprising:a pivot bar;a substantially rectangular adjustment bar, pivotally mounted on the pivot bar;a spring clamp mounted on top of the adjustment bar, with at least one edge protruding beyond the adjustment bar in order to engage the top side of the substrate to fasten the substrate against the frame;means for adjusting the pivot position of the adjustment bar so as to change a force of the spring clamp holding against the substrate;two L-shaped members each comprising a longer segment joined at a right angle with a shorter segment, the longer segment of the L-shaped members in parallel to one another, the L-shaped members being joined together by the pivot bar such that the short segments are substantially along a line, the set of L-shaped members attached to the frame; andmeans for separately adjusting the engaging of the shorter segment of each of the L-shaped members against the edge of the substrate so as to permit the positioning of the substrate in a plane parallel to the frame.
