Abstract
A locking hinge for a printed circuit board includes a pair of molded end pieces defining guide tracks cooperating with tabs on one edge of the printed circuit board for permitting confined pivotal movement thereof between two positions. Slots are formed in the guide tracks for engagement with the tabs by lateral movement of the board. When the tabs are engaged with the slots, the board is restricted from pivotal movement. Stops are formed in the end pieces adjacent to the slots to positively define the two positions. Ports are provided to permit entry and removal of the printed circuit board when in an intermediate position.
