Abstract
An apparatus and method for releasable securement together of a transformer power supply assembly together which includes a stacked arrangement ( ) of a first transformer core plate ( ) positioned to overlie a circuit board ( ), a second transformer core plate ( ) positioned to underlie the first transformer core plate ( ) and the circuit board ( ) and a carrier member ( ) positioned beneath the second transformer core plate ( ), the first and second transformer core plates ( ) contact one another through at least one opening positioned in the circuit board ( ). The apparatus includes having a body positioned over the first transformer core plate ( ) in which the body of the span member ( ) extends over a surface of the first transformer core plate ( ) and extends from a portion of a peripheral edge of the first transformer core plate ( ) to another portion of the peripheral edge of the first transformer core plate ( ). A cross member ( ) connected to the span member extends in a direction transverse to the span member ( ) and is interposed between the span member ( ) and the first transformer core plate ( ). At least two engagement leg members ( ) are provided in which one engagement leg member ( ) is connected to the span member ( ) and extends in a direction transverse to the span member ( ) for extending along a side of the stacked arrangement ( ) and another engagement leg member ( ) is connected to the span member ( ) and is spaced apart from the one engagement leg member ( ) and extends transverse to the span member ( ) for extending along an opposing side of the stacked arrangement ( ). At least two hook members ( ) for engaging the carrier ( ) in which one hook member ( ) is connected to the one engagement leg member ( ) and extends in a direction transverse to the one engagement leg ( ) member and another hook member ( ) is connected to the other engagement leg member ( ) and extends in a direction transverse toward the other engagement leg member ( ).
