Abstract

Abstract An improved structure for electromagnetic wave shielding in an electric plug for telecommunication. The plug is composed of a main body molded from plastic and metallic shielding sheet. The main body has on each side a depressed side face with a central sliding groove and with a raised border near the end of the main body. The shielding sheet has two side sheet portions coinciding in length and size with the depressed side faces of the main body and having tenons at the front end thereof. The shielding sheet has at the rear top end thereof two protruding tabs. The shielding sheet and the main body are slidingly connected with each other. The protruding tabs are such that they can be fastened by machine. The shielded area of the plug of the present invention is enlarged relative to current technology.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 167 words
An electric plug with electromagnetic wave shielding used for telecommunication comprising: a main body molded from plastic and a metallic shielding sheet; wherein each of two sides of said main body includes a groove located at the vertical center of a depressed side face and a stepped border near a front end thereof, and said shielding sheet includes two depressed side sheet portions of substantially the same size as the side faces of said main body, the side sheet portions further including a tenon at the height of the grooves in said main body; said shielding sheet also including a lower inward folding sheet portion and a plurality of upper folding sheet portions situated at a rear end of said shielding sheet, the upper folding sheets including a plurality of tabs; wherein when said shielding sheet is slid onto said main body, said tabs are folded over said main body to secure the shielding sheet to said main body, the folding being accomplished by a machine operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 167 words
An electric plug with electromagnetic wave shielding used for telecommunication comprising: a main body molded from plastic and a metallic shielding sheet; wherein each of two sides of said main body includes a groove located at the vertical center of a depressed side face and a stepped border near a front end thereof, and said shielding sheet includes two depressed side sheet portions of substantially the same size as the side faces of said main body, the side sheet portions further including a tenon at the height of the grooves in said main body; said shielding sheet also including a lower inward folding sheet portion and a plurality of upper folding sheet portions situated at a rear end of said shielding sheet, the upper folding sheets including a plurality of tabs; wherein when said shielding sheet is slid onto said main body, said tabs are folded over said main body to secure the shielding sheet to said main body, the folding being accomplished by a machine operation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 41 words
The electric plug of claim 1 wherein; each of said depressed side faces joins with a top face near a front end of said main body to form an abutting shoulder, the shoulders corresponding to stop abutments on said shielding sheet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
The electric plug of claim 1, wherein: said tenons extend inward from the shielding sheet, then extent forward so as to form an angled portion.
