Abstract
Integrally-molded with a plastic TV cabinet is a collapsible holding member. When a PCB is mounted on the TV cabinet at an assembly station, the collapsible holding member squeezes through an aperture in the PCB to temporarily secure the PCB to the TV cabinet. The partially-installed product is then moved to a screw driving station, where the PCB is permanently screwed to the TV cabinet.
