Abstract
Abstract A shielding device is formed from two unitary pieces, one of which pieces is a generally planar member taking the form of a lid and the other piece takes the form of a side wall member which is adapted for mounting to a substrate surface on which is mounted electric circuit elements. The two pieces together combine to create a shielding device for inhibiting the passage of electromagnetic radiation to and/or from a group of circuit elements disposed on a substrate. The lid may have flanges for connection onto the side wall member and the side wall member may have intersecting dividing walls disposed internally thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A shielding device for inhibiting the passage of electromagnetic radiation to and from a group of circuit elements disposed on a substrate surface comprising: a side wall member adapted for mounting on the substrate surface, wherein said side wall member is a unitary member constructed from a single planar sheet, said side wall member comprising a plurality of side walls wherein selective bending of pre-defined discrete areas of the planar sheet along respective axes forms adjacent side walls, and a push fit lid for removable attachment to the side wall member, such that removal of the lid allows access to the circuit elements disposed on the substrate surface, and wherein said side wall member further comprises an internal wall defining compartments separated from each other by said internal wall, said internal wall being formed by the selective bending of pre-defined areas of the planar sheet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A shielding device for inhibiting the passage of electromagnetic radiation to and from a group of circuit elements disposed on a substrate surface comprising: a side wall member adapted for mounting on the substrate surface, wherein said side wall member is a unitary member constructed from a single planar sheet, said side wall member comprising a plurality of side walls wherein selective bending of pre-defined discrete areas of the planar sheet along respective axes forms adjacent side walls, and a push fit lid for removable attachment to the side wall member, such that removal of the lid allows access to the circuit elements disposed on the substrate surface, and wherein said side wall member further comprises an internal wall defining compartments separated from each other by said internal wall, said internal wall being formed by the selective bending of pre-defined areas of the planar sheet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said side wall member further comprises complementary interlocking apertures and projections for mechanically coupling respective walls of said side wall member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the push fit is enabled by a plurality of flanges depending from the push fit lid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 3 wherein at least one of the plurality of flanges is arranged for disposition outside the side wall member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 3 wherein at least one of the plurality of flanges is biased for contact with the side wall member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 3 wherein at least one of the plurality of flanges includes a projection extending towards a contact surface of the side wall member for improved electrical conduction between the side wall member and the lid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 6 wherein the side wall member comprises a recess for accommodating said projection of said at least one of the plurality of flanges in the closed position.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 7 wherein the recess is an aperture.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lid includes sprung fingers for providing electrical contact between the lid and the internal wall.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
21 words
A shielding device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the shielding device is made from a metal or a metal alloy.
