PURPOSE: To receive and support a printed-circuit board accurately and readily in a printed-circuit board reception device which receives a printed-circuit board which is transferred by a transferring device with a chuck mechanism, moves the printed-circuit board to a specified supporting position by turning the chuck mechanism, and puts it up a supporting frame for installation.

CONSTITUTION: A chuck mechanism 15 provided opposingly to a transferring device holds a printed-circuit board P closely regardless of the board thickness against a fixed side chuck nib piece 15a by operating a movable-side chuck nib piece 15b detachably by using an air cylinder 16. The chuck mechanism 15 is supported by using arms 18a and 18b and then raises and turnes the rotable arms 18a and 18b according to drive of a drive cylinder 21 through a pinion 20 and a rack 23, thus rotating and moving between the transferring device and the printed-circuit board reception support part.
