Abstract:
Apparatus for covering an access opening in a surface of an electronic device comprising:a substantially conductive cover sized and shaped to at least partially cover said access opening;a coupling for moveably connecting said cover with respect to said surface of said electronic device to permit said cover to be moved from a first position at least partially covering said access opening to a second position, different from said first position, at least partially uncovering said access opening;a substantially conductive member in said coupling configured and positioned to provide a substantially conductive pathway between said cover and said surface when said cover is in said first position and when said cover is in said second position; anda substantially conductive seal adjacent at least a first edge of said access opening positioned to contact at least a first portion of said cover, providing a conductive pathway between said cover and said seal.
