A module support structure 1 is proposed for printed circuit boards 2 which can be inserted on guide rails 5. The four parallel module rails 4 of the module support structure 1 to which the guide rails 5 are mounted are connected to the two parallel side walls 3 via a special mounting technique. Specially shaped mounting bolts 8 are used consisting essentially of a bolt head 11 having a flat seating surface 13, a substantially cylindrical threaded shaft 12, as well as a transition piece 19 disposed between the bolt head 11 and the threaded shaft 12 and tapering in a conical manner towards the threaded shaft 12. The mounting bolts 8 are fed through cylindrical mounting holes 9 in the side walls 3 and screwed into cylindrical holes 10 in the module rails 4. During tightening, the transition piece 19 abuts against the outer edge of the mounting holes 9 to force the module rails 4 against the projections 17 disposed above or below the mounting holes 9. In this manner, an exact positioning of the module rails 4 relative to the side walls 3 is necessarily effected. The outer edge of each mounting hole 9 can be deformed by the transition piece 19 until the seating surface 13 of the corresponding bolt head 11 seats on the side wall 3.

Cette invention concerne un bâti modulaire 1 de cartes à circuits imprimés 2 insérées dans des profilés de guidage 5. Les quatre longerons parallèles 4 du bâti modulaire 1 qui reçoivent les profilés de guidage 5 sont fixés aux deux parois latérales parallèles 3 du bâti selon une technique particulière faisant appel à des vis de fixation 8 de forme particulière. Celles-ci comportent essentiellement une tête 11 à portée plane 13, une tige filetée 12 essentiellement cylindrique ainsi qu'une zone de raccordement fraisée 19 entre la tête 11 et la tige 12. Lesdites vis 8 sont insérées dans le trous de montage 9 des parois latérales 3 et vissées dans les trous cylindriques 10 ménagés dans les longerons 4. Au serrage, la zone de raccordement fraisée 19 de la vis prend appui sur la rive extérieure des trous de montage 9 pour forcer les profilés 4 contre les ergots 17 prévus au-dessus ou au-dessous des trous de montage 9. Cette disposition réalise automatiquement le positionnement précis des longerons 4 par rapport aux parois latérales 3. Au serrage, la zone de raccordement fraisée 19 de la vis déforme la rive extérieure du trou de montage de manière à permettre à la portée plane 13 de la tête de vis 11 de s'appuyer contre la paroi latérale 3.
