Definitions
- a gas discharge indicator module comprises a flexible strip printed circuit with a flat alphanumeric gas discharge indicator tube connected at one end, a multiple contact electrical connector fastened at the other end, and the electronic circuit components associated with the indicator tube connected to the flexible printed circuit strip between the indicator tube and the electrical connector with the appropriate circuit interconnections effected by the printed wiring.
- the flexible printed assembly is folded in accordian fashion with the flat indicator tube and the electrical connector at either end of the folded assembly and parallel to one another. The folded assembly is inserted into a case whereby the flat indicator tube is viewable at the front of the case and the electrical connector is disposed at the rear of the case for making electrical connection to the indicator module.
- the invention relates to indicator modules particularly with regard to a flat tube gas discharge indicator module.
- alphanumeric gas discharge indicator displays were manufactured for specific applications in accordance with the number of digits required.
- a manufacturer of electronic equipment may desire an eight digit front panel mounting display for a product line of instruments.
- the display would be designed with a rigid printed circuit board onwhich the tubes for displaying the eight digits are mounted along with the electronic components and electrical connectors for operating the display.
- This assembly would then be suitably encased and provided with the various required features such as a mounting bezel and filter provision.
- the completed indicator would be manufactured in quantity for the particular application for which it was designed.
- This approach tends to provide costly indicators since standardization of components is rendered difficult and displays of differing numbers of digits require individual custom designs. Additionally, these displays tend to be bulky because of the utilization of rigid circuit boards.
- the present invention obviates the above prior art disadvantages by providing an alphanumeric indicator module comprising a flexible printed circuit strip to either end of which is affixed an alphanumeric indicator tube and a multiple contact electrical connector, respectively. Intermediate the tube and connector are affixed the electronic components required for an operable digit display module.
- the flexible printed circuit assembly is folded in accordian fashion with the indicator tube and electrical connector at either end and substantially parallel to each other. The folded assembly is inserted into a case, through the front of which the indicator tube is viewable and at the back of which the electrical connector is available for receiving system power and digit selection signals.
- the sides of the module cases are provided with locating pins and holes to snap the modules together'thereby forming displays of arbitrary numbers of digits.
- Side covers are provided with locating pins and holes to snap onto the outer sides of the assembled display modules-Integral with the module case is a bezel section and filter mounting provision whereby when the modules and side panels are snapped together a complete bezel and filter mounting is formed.
