ABSTRACT:
Interior circuit card supports and a method that facilitate fast and simple Assembly and disassembly of the circuit cards, and provide both interior and peripheral card support, are disclosed. A plurality of circuit cards 32a-32n, each having at least one interior hole 36, are positioned substantially parallel to each other with the holes of the various cards collinear. A plurality of grommets 38 are secured in the holes, with each grommet providing a first coupling. A rod 42 having a plurality of second couplings 44 is inserted through the grommets such that the second couplings mate with the grommets' first couplings to provide an interior support that maintains the spacing between the circuit cards. In the preferred embodiment the grommets are internally threaded with a groove that extends their entire length, and the rod has deformable inserts that form an interference fit with the grommets' threads. The rod is inserted and then rotated, causing the inserts to deform and grip the threads.
