ABSTRACT:
An expandable article mounting rack comprises at least one panel where each panel has a major planar surface with a plurality of laterally resiliently deformable clamping pillars extending therefrom and arranged in a matrix configuration defining orthogonal rows of clamping pillars between which a printed circuit board or other like article can be inserted and held. Each clamping pillar includes an upstanding member having a laterally resiliently deformable portion spaced from the top surface of the panel and a support portion interconnected to the top surface. The deformable portion is positioned so that when an article is positioned between adjacent rows of pillars, the deformable portion will be depressed laterally inwardly and will thus exert a pressing force against the edge of the article so positioned.
