ABSTRACT:
The present invention in its preferred embodiment, is a circuit board storage apparatus (6) including a clamping mechanism (10) having two jaw handle members (12), and a pair of contact jaw portions (18 and 20) which are held in a hinged juxtaposition by a hinge pin (14). The clamping mechanism (10) is adapted to grasp a printed circuit board (8). The apparatus (6) is further provided with a support and protective structure (30) which includes a pair of parallel rails (32), having notches to support the structure (30) on a frame (50), and a pair of protective sheets (38) for preventing physical abrasion and electrical damage to the circuit board (8). The entire apparatus (6) is adapted to be enclosed in a drawer (60) or cabinet for easy storage of multiple boards (8). The primary usage of the apparatus is in situations where an inventory of circuit boards must be maintained for quick retrieval, primarily in the electronic manufacturing and maintenance industries.
