Abstract:
An apparatus to protect the contents thereof against electromagnetic radiation comprising:a first part comprising a recess; a second part comprising a tongue-shaped portion, the first and second parts being movably connected to one another and shaped so as to form an enclosed space when the first and second parts are in a closed orientation, the tongue-shaped portion of the second part being in close proximity to the recess of the first part when the first and second parts are in the closed orientation; and two EMI (electromagnetic interference) gaskets, each formed from a electrically-conductive wire having an elongated, periodically repeating shape, the two EMI gaskets being mounted in the recess of the first part and being shaped so that, when the first and second parts are in the closed orientation, the tongue-shaped portion of the second part is positioned in between the two EMI gaskets to make electronic contact with both EMI gaskets.
