US Patent:

48044377, Feb 14, 1989
Filed:

Sep 10, 1987
Appl. No.:

7/095289
Inventors:

Santono Tirtoprodjo - Redwood City CA
Ming H. Leong - Los Gatos CA
International Classification:

B32B 3104
B32B 3500
US Classification:

156577
Abstract:

An improved tape dispenser which is less likely to jam and which has a blade shield to prevent injury. Centrally of the dispenser there is placed a roll of tape conventionally wound in a spiral. The roll of tape has an outwardly exposed adhesive release surface and an inwardly exposed adhesive coated surface. In the dispenser, the tape is threaded on a dispensing path towards a cutting blade. Typically, the path is defined by a combination of guides terminating with a roller. The roll and the dispensing path are encased within a housing to prevent the exposed adhesive from adhering either to dust or nearby objects. The tape path extends past a severing tape blade. The trigger motion of the handle acts to pivot the tape holder on its hinge and move the severing blade holder. The motion of the tape holder is restricted by a guide, a guide slot and a stop. When the tape holder is in its original position, a blade shield keeps the blade from being exposed.

Assignee:

Compaq Computer Corporation - Cupertino CA
International Classification:

H02B 101
H05K 114
H05K 500
US Classification:

24834601
Abstract:

A mounting apparatus includes a bracket having plural sides adapted to accommodate a board between the sides. First fasteners on the plural sides of the bracket are disposed to connect the board to the bracket, wherein the fasteners are adapted to vertically restrain movement of the board relative to the bracket. At least one second fastener on one of the sides releasably secures the bracket to a mounting surface. A process for mounting a board on a surface includes the steps of fitting a board onto a bracket having plural sides, fastening the board to the bracket with first fasteners, and engaging a second fastener with a mounting surface. The board may be a printed wiring board or a printed wiring assembly. The plural sides may include left, right, back, and front sides. The sides may be perpendicular to each other.
