Abstract
A support mechanism for a part of a circuit card includes a support member (slide) which forms a fixed part. The support member defines a guide. It also includes a slideable member for engaging the circuit card. The slideable member (slider) is slideable along the guide to a position for engaging the card. The slider defines a jaw for engaging the circuit card. The jaw can be provided with a protrusion for engaging with a hole in the corner of a circuit card, for example a PCI card. The mechanism enables the supporting of cards of different lengths due to the slideability of the slide along the guide. The guide and the slider can be formed with inter-engaging structures of appropriate shapes, for example, co-operating dovetail shapes.
