Abstract
Abstract A method of forming EMI shielded enclosures, an EMI shielded enclosure and EMI shield are provided. A sealer composition is applied onto a surface and is allowed to substantially dry cure into a uniform, seamless layer. An adhesive composition is applied to the dried sealer composition. Then, an electrically-conductive material, such as metallic sheet, such as copper sheeting, is attached to the dried sealer composition by the adhesive composition. Alternatively, a bonded sheet of dielectric material is applied to the adhesive composition. Then the metallic sheet is attached to the bonded sheet of dielectric material by an adhesive composition second layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A method of forming an EMI shielded load bearing floor for an EMI shielded enclosure comprising the steps of: applying a sealer composition to a rigid support substrate of said enclosure; allowing said sealer composition to substantially cure on said rigid support substrate so as to create a substantially uniform seamless surface; applying an adhesive composition to said sealed substrate; and bonding an electrically conductive sheet material to said uniform seamless surface with said adhesive composition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
76 words
A method of forming an EMI shielded load bearing floor for an EMI shielded enclosure comprising the steps of: applying a sealer composition to a rigid support substrate of said enclosure; allowing said sealer composition to substantially cure on said rigid support substrate so as to create a substantially uniform seamless surface; applying an adhesive composition to said sealed substrate; and bonding an electrically conductive sheet material to said uniform seamless surface with said adhesive composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A method as recited in claim 1 wherein said sealer composition is water-proof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A method as recited in claim 1 wherein said electrically conductive material is metal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as recited in claim 1 wherein said sealer composition includes chemical compounds selected from the group consisting of epoxy, urethane, silicone, and acrylic resins, and a combination thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method as recited in claim 1 wherein said adhesive composition includes chemical compounds selected from the group consisting of epoxy, urethane, silicone, and acrylic resins, and combinations thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method as recited in claim 1 wherein said sealing of the rigid support substrate consists of first applying a thin primer layer then a more substantial sealing layer.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
109 words
A method of forming an EMI shielded load bearing floor for an EMI shielded enclosure comprising the steps of: applying a sealer composition to a rigid support substrate of said enclosure; allowing said sealer composition to substantially cure on said rigid support substrate so as to create a substantially uniform seamless surface; attaching a first side of a bonded sheet of dielectric material to said adhesive composition first layer; applying an adhesive composition second layer to second side of said bonded sheet of dielectric material; and bonding an electrically conductive sheet material to said second side of said bonded sheet of dielectric material with said adhesive composition second layer.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
109 words
A method of forming an EMI shielded load bearing floor for an EMI shielded enclosure comprising the steps of: applying a sealer composition to a rigid support substrate of said enclosure; allowing said sealer composition to substantially cure on said rigid support substrate so as to create a substantially uniform seamless surface; attaching a first side of a bonded sheet of dielectric material to said adhesive composition first layer; applying an adhesive composition second layer to second side of said bonded sheet of dielectric material; and bonding an electrically conductive sheet material to said second side of said bonded sheet of dielectric material with said adhesive composition second layer.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
13 words
A method as recited in claim 7 wherein said sealer composition is water-proof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
14 words
A method as recited in claim 7 wherein said electrically conductive material is metal.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as recited in claim 7 wherein said sealer composition includes chemical compounds selected from the group consisting of epoxy, urethane, silicone, and acrylic resins, and a combination thereof.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method as recited in claim 7 wherein said adhesive composition includes chemical compounds selected from the group consisting of epoxy, urethane, silicone, and acrylic resins, and combinations thereof.
