Abstract
Panels for holding printed circuit boards and the like which includes at least a pair of panels, each panel having a front surface with raised portions thereon to provide a criss-cross arrangement of recesses for receiving edges of the printed circuit boards therein, the recesses extending at inclined angles to the side edges of the panel to hold the printed circuit boards in an inclined position between the two panels. The raised portions are preferably diamond-shaped. Partition members divide each of the panels into two sections so that the printed circuit boards can be received from each side edge of the panels. Cutouts are provided in each side edge of the panel for adjustably mounting the panels on parallel rods of the cart, wherein the panels are slidable along these rods to a selected position and then secured in the selected position by fastening members. Preferably, each of the panels includes a plate member secured to a frame member, the raised portions and recesses being provided on the plate member and the cutouts being provided in the frame member.
