Abstract
A mounting arrangement is provided for securing printed wiring boards within guide members. The guide members are arranged in a vertical plane and each guide member is provided with part of a knuckle arrangement. A further corresponding part of the knuckle arrangement is provided upon a vertical support structure, and the vertical support structure is allowed to pivot through 90.degree. thereby closing the guides and securing the printed wiring boards therein, or alternatively permitting the guides to be opened to allow removal of the boards therefrom. The knuckle arrangement is so designed that the parts are snap-fitted together for ease of assembly and maintenance. The support arrangement is sufficiently rigid to prevent distortion when used, thus ensuring maximum component height.
