Abstract

A carrier for printed circuit boards formed of a substantially rectangular configuration having a pair of spaced apart opposing panels coupled between a pair of skeletal wire frames. Coupling devices are provided for adjustably coupling corresponding ends of each of the panels to the frames to thereby permit adjustment of the spacing between the panels. A plurality of spaced apart elongated guides are correspondingly formed on the panels for receiving opposing edges of circuit boards which are supported between the panels. Support devices are integrally formed at the opposing ends of each of the frames for providing a variety of types of supports for the carrier. At the same time, the support devices are utilized for providing an interlocking relationship between adjacent carriers for permitting vertical stacking of the carriers.
