1. A producing method of a wired circuit board, the producing method comprising the steps of:
preparing a two-layer base material in which an insulating layer is laminated on a metal supporting layer;
covering an upper surface of the insulating layer and respective side end surfaces of the insulating layer and the metal supporting layer with a photoresist;
placing a photomask so as to light-shield an end portion and a portion where a conductive layer is to be formed of the upper surface of the insulating layer, and exposing to light the photoresist covering the upper surface of the insulating layer from above the photoresist via the photomask;
exposing to light the photoresist covering the respective side end surfaces of the insulating layer and the metal supporting layer from below the photoresist;
forming an exposed portion of the photoresist into a pattern by removing an unexposed portion thereof to form a plating resist;
forming an end-portion conductive layer on the end portion of the upper surface of the insulating layer which is exposed from the plating resist, while simultaneously forming the conductive layer on the portion of the upper surface of the insulating layer which is exposed from the plating resist; and
removing the plating resist.
2. The producing method of the wired circuit board according to claim 1, wherein the photoresist is formed from a dry film resist.
3. The producing method of the wired circuit board according to claim 1, wherein the step of covering the upper surface of the insulating layer and the respective side end surfaces of the insulating layer and the metal supporting layer includes laminating a resin supporting layer on a lower surface of the metal supporting layer such that the metal supporting layer and the photoresist covering the side end surface of the metal supporting layer are included therein.
4. The producing method of the wired circuit board according to claim 1, further comprising, after the covering step, the step of:
heating the photoresist covering the respective side end surfaces of the insulating layer and the metal supporting layer.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A cervical traction system for a neck of a user, the system comprising;
a plate assembly including first and second supports configured to engage a portion of a head of the patient, the plate assembly including a transverse drive member configured to adjust a transverse distance between the first and second supports;
a housing assembly including a longitudinal drive member configured to move the plate assembly relative to the housing assembly; and
a handle assembly operatively connected to a longitudinal drive member,
wherein movement of the plate assembly urges the first and second supports against the head to apply traction to the neck.
2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a knob operative to actuate the transverse drive member to adjust the first and second supports.
3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a trigger configured to actuate the longitudinal drive member.
4. The system of claim 1, further comprising a knob configured to actuate the longitudinal drive member.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the longitudinal drive member includes a worm gear or pulley.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the longitudinal drive member is non-pneumatic.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the neck includes a portion of the cervical spine.
8. A cervical traction system for a neck of a user, the system comprising:
a housing assembly including a drive assembly;
a plate assembly operatively connected to the drive assembly; and
a handle assembly operatively connected to the drive assembly,
wherein the handle assembly is configured to actuate movement of the plate assembly relative to the housing assembly to apply traction to the neck.
9. The system of claim 8, further comprising a knob operative to actuate the transverse drive member to adjust the first and second supports.
10. The system of claim 8, further comprising a trigger configured to actuate the longitudinal drive member.
11. The system of claim 8, further comprising a knob configured to actuate the longitudinal drive member.
12. The system of claim 8, wherein the longitudinal drive member includes a worm gear or pulley.
13. The system of claim 8, wherein the longitudinal drive member is non-pneumatic.
14. The system of claim 8, wherein the neck includes a portion of the cervical spine.
15. A method of using a cervical traction device for a neck of a patient, the method comprising:
providing the cervical traction device including a housing assembly having a longitudinal drive, plate assembly having a transverse drive, and handle assembly;
positioning a neck of a patient with respect to the plate assembly; and
actuating a fraction knob or a trigger of the handle assembly to advance the longitudinal drive member,
wherein the longitudinal drive member is configured to move the plate assembly relative to the housing assembly to provide a traction force to at least a portion of the neck.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising the act of rotating a limit knob to set a desired traction limit on the longitudinal drive;
17. The method of claim 15, further comprising the act of rotating a support knob of the housing assembly to adjust a transverse distance between first and second supports to engage at least a portion of the neck.
18. The device of claim 15, wherein the longitudinal drive member includes a worm gear or pulley.
19. The device of claim 15, wherein the longitudinal drive member is non-pneumatic.
20. The device of claim 15, wherein the neck includes a portion of the cervical spine.
