摘要: 1,188,520. Two part couplings. JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd. 16 Oct., 1967 [28 1966], No. 48427/66. Heading H2E. Connection to a flexible printed circuit 11, having conductive layer 12 sandwiched between insulating layers 13, is made by forming hole 15 in an area 14 of the exposed on both faces, being provided with slits form flaps 17, so that when pin 18 conical end 19 inserted into hole, 17 are electrically engaged surface pin. Pins may constitute terminals vehicle ignition switch which secured integral threaded spigot and nut facia panel located (Fig. 3, not shown). In another embodiment (Figs. 4, 5, shown) includes cylindrical shank (32) outwardly directed flange (33) one concave shoulder (35) formed while other tapered portion (34). The be placed over base (36) tapering bore (37) comprising side only lies above bore. When through area, flaps, have previously been bent down out plane circuit, trapped base.
