Abstract

Abstract A framed electrically conductive honeycomb is provided by assembling an electrically conductive honeycomb, an electrically conductive frame for the honeycomb and an electrically conductive textile positioned between the frame and around the periphery of the outer cells of the honeycomb and in contact with both, and then coating the assembly in a metal plating bath to coat the assembly with a coating of an electrically conductive compound thereby assuring continuous mechanical, strong physical and electrical contact between the frame and the honeycomb, as well as a noncorrosion coating.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 64 words
An electromagnetic shielding and ventilating panel comprising an electrically conductive frame, an electrically conductive honeycomb disposed within said frame, an electrically conductive textile positioned around the periphery of the outer cells of the honeycomb and in contact with said frame and said honeycomb, and an electrically conductive coating covering said frame, honeycomb, and textile thereby providing an electrically conductive electromagnetic shielding and ventilating panel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 64 words
An electromagnetic shielding and ventilating panel comprising an electrically conductive frame, an electrically conductive honeycomb disposed within said frame, an electrically conductive textile positioned around the periphery of the outer cells of the honeycomb and in contact with said frame and said honeycomb, and an electrically conductive coating covering said frame, honeycomb, and textile thereby providing an electrically conductive electromagnetic shielding and ventilating panel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
The panel as defined in claim 1 wherein the textile is positioned intermediate the top and bottom of the honeycomb.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The panel as defined in claim 1 wherein the textile is located in proximity to the top or bottom of the honeycomb.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
The panel as defined in claim 1 wherein all of the components of the assembly are both electrically and thermally conductive.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 12 words
The panel as defined in claim 1 wherein the textile is knitted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 12 words
The panel as defined in claim 1 wherein the textile is woven.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 12 words
The panel as defined in claim 1 wherein the textile is braided.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 19 words
The panel as defined in claim 1 wherein all the components of the assembly are electrically conductive metallic compounds.
Claim 10
Independent Claim 84 words
A method of producing a framed electrically conductive honeycomb having a strong electrical and mechanical bond between the honeycomb and the frame and possessing superior electrical conductivity which comprises providing an electrically conductive frame of a desired configuration, fitting an electrically conductive honeycomb into said frame, disposing an electrically conductive textile around the periphery of the outer cells of the honeycomb and in contact with said frame and said honeycomb and thereafter coating said assembly with an electrically conductive coating in a coating bath.
Claim 11
Independent Claim 84 words
A method of producing a framed electrically conductive honeycomb having a strong electrical and mechanical bond between the honeycomb and the frame and possessing superior electrical conductivity which comprises providing an electrically conductive frame of a desired configuration, fitting an electrically conductive honeycomb into said frame, disposing an electrically conductive textile around the periphery of the outer cells of the honeycomb and in contact with said frame and said honeycomb and thereafter coating said assembly with an electrically conductive coating in a coating bath.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 9 wherein the textile is disposed intermediate the top and the bottom of the honeycomb in grooves provided in said honeycomb.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 9 wherein the textile is disposed on a narrow inner flange provided in said frame.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 17 words
The process as defined in claim 9 wherein the assembly is coated in a molten metal bath.
