Abstract
Abstract A shielding string having a conductive surface is arranged between the surface of two juxtaposed parts of a housing for electronic circuits in a groove in one of the housing parts in order to attain shielding against high frequency. This shielding string is arranged before the assembling operation and can readily fall out again prematurely. In order to prevent it from falling out, the form of the groove has several abrupt changes in direction so that the shielding string is pressed against the walls of the groove due to its natural rigidity. Especially with the use of a shielding string with a wire texture at the surface, the grooves are widened in the proximity of the surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
An electromagnetic shielding arrangement with a stranded soft elastic shielding body having a substantially constant cross-section which is arranged between two housing parts having an electrically conducting surface in a groove of one of the housing parts, which groove receives the major part of the cross-section of the shielding body with lateral clearance, characterized in that the groove changes its direction essentially at several substantially uniformly distributed points by a radius of the order of the width of the groove.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
An electromagnetic shielding arrangement with a stranded soft elastic shielding body having a substantially constant cross-section which is arranged between two housing parts having an electrically conducting surface in a groove of one of the housing parts, which groove receives the major part of the cross-section of the shielding body with lateral clearance, characterized in that the groove changes its direction essentially at several substantially uniformly distributed points by a radius of the order of the width of the groove.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A shielding arrangement as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the groove changes its direction at each point twice within a short period each time in opposite sense so that the groove extends substantially continuously futher at each point solely with a laterally offset part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A shielding arrangement as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the laterally offset part is smaller than the width of the groove.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A shielding arrangement as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the change in direction amounts to about 90°.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A shielding arrangement as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the groove has at each point a widened part at the area of the surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A shielding arrangement as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the groove has at each point a widened part at the area of the surface.
