ABSTRACT:
A cam activated electrical switching means for an elastic multicircuit printed circuit board (PCB). A plurality of PCB reeds with disattached portions at one end nearest the edge of the PCB are cut out in the generally central portion of the PCB, and an electrical board, positioned adjacent to but separated from the PCB, made of elastic PCB-type material has the same number of plurality of flexible reeds cutout therefrom in its central portion. The PCB reeds and electrical board flexible reeds have electrical leads etched on the back sides thereof with the PCB reeds having an electrical contact pin on the front of the disattached end portion facing the etched electrical lead on the back of the disattached end of the flexible reed. An embossed mechanical rider is positioned on the front of the disattached end of the flexible reeds. The electrical etched lead on the back of the flexible reed may be connected to some electrical source on the electrical board. The electrical contact pin is electrically connected through the PCB reed to the etched lead on the back of the PCB reed which is further electrically connected to an electrical component etched on the back of the PCB. The normally open pairs of disattached end portions of the interfacing PCB and flexible reeds are selectively closed by a rotatable cam having selective lobes on its circumference which contacts the embossed mechanical riders and flexes the flexible reeds against the PCB reeds to selective switch the electrical source to electrical components.
