ABSTRACT:
Several tubular wire-retaining anchor embodiments (10, 10') are disclosed, as are several methods of manufacturing and securing the same to a supporting substrate, such as a circuit board (24). In accordance with one preferred embodiment (10), the tubular anchor is either molded out of suitable plastic material, or preferably formed as a short, severed cylindrical segment of an elongated section of plastic tubing (12). As needed, the anchors (10) are positioned in a desired spaced array on the circuit board (24) and adhesively bonded thereto. This is most readily accomplished by positioning each anchor (10) on a different droplet (28b), preferably comprising the second part of a two-part adhesive or cement (28), with the first part activator (28b) being pre-coated on at least a portion of the outer surface of the anchor. Upon each anchor (10) being brought into contact with an adhesive droplet (28b), the latter rapidly hardens to form a reliable fillet-shaped bond (28c) on either side of the juncture between the anchor and circuit board. In accordance with the second preferred anchor embodiment (10'), a longitudinally disposed slit (36) is formed through the wall thereof so as to allow the snap-in confinement of surface wiring therewithin, as well as the releasable removal of such wiring therefrom.
