ABSTRACT:
An apparatus made of a single piece of resilient material has notches (101) with narrow openings, on the same side, on each end. An indentation (103) opposite each notch (101) creates a narrow, flexible segment (106) on each end of the apparatus. A printed circuit board inserted in one of the notches (101) will cause an end section (107) adjacent the notch (101) to flex, thereby allowing the board to enter into the narrow notch opening. Once the board has been inserted, the resilient material of the apparatus will cause the flexed end section (107) to attempt to return to its original shape. This will force the end section (107) up against the board thereby holding the board in place within the notch (101). This simple design allows the apparatus to be manufactured relatively inexpensively.
