Abstract
A holder for holding polygonal shaped objects (i.e., printed circuit boards) and adapted to be slidably engaged with a rigid U-shaped enclosure, includes first and second integrally-formed frames and a mechanism for locking the frames into the U-shaped enclosure. The locking mechanism is integrally formed with the frames. A device mounted on the frames receives and holds the rectangular objects. The holder is easily inserted into and removed from the enclosure, allows efficient assembly and disassembly of the holder into and from the enclosure, and reduces the required number of pans and assembly/disassembly time in comparison to conventional holders.
