Shelf unit with a spring for use in a rack for storing a communication system
Abstract
Abstract A shelf unit with a spring in a communication system includes a front plate having a fixing portion and a projecting portion with a recessed portion backwardly extended at both ends thereof, respectively, and a spring inserted into the projecting portion of the front plate. The spring having a substantial v-shaped configuration includes a plurality of spring members defined in a predetermined size at one side thereof and a body integrally formed at the other side thereof. Each of the spring members includes an elastic portion having a bending portion inwardly bent at an end thereof and a compressing portion provided within the elastic portion and inwardly bent relative to the elastic portion, thereby allowing the compressing portion to be tightly fitted into the recessed portion. The compressing portion further includes an abutment portion upwardly bent at the end of the compressing portion and downwardly bent about the bent portion thereof, thereby allowing the spring to be easily inserted along the projecting portion. The elastic portion is biased by coming into a contact with the fixing portion of the right side unit, thereby preventing electromagnetic waves from being radiated through a gap between the neighboring units.
