Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to an arrangement for high-frequency opaque shielding of walls, or portions thereof, of a housing, wherein the walls or their portions include a plate-form basic element (12) having a shielding function, with, if appropriate, wall prongs (16) projecting from these into the housing, and wherein in at least one side margin region (14) extending perpendicularly to the front face (18) of the basic element, extend a first groove (20) with sidewall (24, 26) disposed in the proximity of or remote from the front face as well as a groove bottom (28) into which a first prong (42), U-form in section, of a spring element (40) can be emplaced which with a further prong (48) extends in regions along the side margin region. Independently of whether or not the basic element is a sheet panel or a profiled panel with wall prongs, it is suggested that, in order to secure a spring element in the first groove (20) extending in the side margin region (14) the first prong (42), U-form in section, of the spring element (40) can be snapped in.
