Abstract
The present invention provides an interconnecting bracket for releasably connecting two circuit boards in an end-abutting relationship. The bracket is fastened to one circuit board in a relatively permanent manner, and is fastened to the second circuit board by the combination of a barbed locking finger which downwardly engages a hole defined by the second circuit board, a noduled foot which upwardly bears upon the lower primary planar surface of the second circuit board, and a positioning flange which nestles within an open-ended slot defined by the second circuit board. The resulting configuration allows a typical computer user to releasably fasten the two boards without tools and special manual skills.
