Abstract
Abstract In a building in which electromagnetic shielding members are used in a body of the building and at openings such as windows, entrances and exits to provide the overall building with electromagnetic shielding, a window glass and a window frame are each provided with an electromagnetic shielding body formed so as to be electrically integrated with a grounded connection of a building structure. This enables the window openings to be provided with an electromagnetic shielding effect through simple construction work irrespective of the structure, shape and material of the window opening. Further, an earth bond is obtained between a sash frame and iron rods for reinforcing the concrete of the building body. This makes it possible to ground the sash frame in a simple manner without exposing it, and to obtain an electromagnetic shielding effect, merely by providing the earth bond between the reinforcing rods and sash frame before the concrete is poured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
An electromagnetic shielding structure for a window of a building in which electrically grounded electromagnetic shielding members are used in a body of the building and at openings in the building to provide electromagnetic shielding, said structure for a window comprising: a window sash mountable in a window opening of said building so as to be electrically connected to a grounded electromagnetic shielding member; window frame means mounted in said window sash, said window frame means being electrically conductive and including two sheets of window glass mounted therein with a space therebetween; said window frame means being rotatable with respect to said window sash so as to provide access to the space between said sheets of window glass for insertion thereinto and removal therefrom of an electromagnetic shielding body; and an electromagnetic shielding body removably insertable into said window frame means between said sheets of window glass, said electromagnetic shielding body being electrically grounded to the body of the building via the window frame means when inserted therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
An electromagnetic shielding structure for a window of a building in which electrically grounded electromagnetic shielding members are used in a body of the building and at openings in the building to provide electromagnetic shielding, said structure for a window comprising: a window sash mountable in a window opening of said building so as to be electrically connected to a grounded electromagnetic shielding member; window frame means mounted in said window sash, said window frame means being electrically conductive and including two sheets of window glass mounted therein with a space therebetween; said window frame means being rotatable with respect to said window sash so as to provide access to the space between said sheets of window glass for insertion thereinto and removal therefrom of an electromagnetic shielding body; and an electromagnetic shielding body removably insertable into said window frame means between said sheets of window glass, said electromagnetic shielding body being electrically grounded to the body of the building via the window frame means when inserted therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
An electromagnetic shielding structure as recited in claim 1 wherein said window frame means including said two spaced sheets of window glass mounted therein is rotatable within said window sash about a pair of oppositely extending shafts, and includes a side opening through which said electromagnetic shielding body is insertable between said spaced sheets of window glass.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
An electromagnetic shielding structure as recited in claim 2 wherein said electromagnetic shielding body comprises and electrically conductive transparent film.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
An electromagnetic shielding structure as recited in claim 2 wherein said electromagnetic shielding body comprises a screen sash.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
75 words
An electromagnetic shielding structure as recited in claim 1 wherein said window frame means comprises an inner window frame and an outer window frame each including a sheet of window glass, at least one of said inner and outer window frames being pivotable in said window sash so as to provide an opening through which said electromagnetic shielding body may be inserted into and removed from said space between said two sheets of window glass.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
An electromagnetic shielding structure as recited in claim 5 wherein said electromagnetic shielding body comprises a transparent electrically conductive film.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
An electromagnetic structure as recited in claim 5 wherein said electromagnetic shielding body comprises blinds composed of blades forming electromagnetic shielding members.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
39 words
An electromagnetic shielding structure as recited in claim 7, wherein said blinds include blades interconnected by a transparent electrically conductive film, whereby lighting may be adjusted by changing the angle of said blades while said film maintains electromagnetic shielding.
