Abstract:
1. A shielding enclosure for shielding a component to be located within the shielding enclosure and enabling selective access to the component when located in the shielding enclosure, the shielding enclosure comprising: a frame having a peripheral wall surrounding an interior for locating the component within the shielding enclosure; an access opening bounded by the peripheral wall and extending longitudinally and laterally for providing selective access to the interior of the shielding enclosure and the component located therein; a closure member selectively captured in and released from the access opening for selectively closing and opening the access opening, the closure member having a peripheral edge for confronting the peripheral wall of the frame when the closure member is captured in the access opening; a connecting section for joining the closure member with the peripheral wall of the frame, the connecting section being selectively extensible and contractible in longitudinal directions; interengagable elements along the peripheral edge of the closure member and the confronting wall of the frame for being interengaged in response to selective extension of the connecting section so as to capture the closure member within the access opening and complete the shielding of the component within the interior of the shielding enclosure, and for being disengaged in response to selective contraction of the connecting section so as to release the closure member for movement in an altitudinal direction out of the access opening to open the access opening for access to the component located within the interior of the shielding enclosure.
