Abstract:
An apparatus for securing an electromagnetic shield in a conductive casing, comprising:a conductive frame having an outer lip, a first edge and a second-edge; a plurality of first spring devices along the first edge of the conductive frame operable to secure an electromagnetic shield within the conductive frame, the electromagnetic shield comprising a conductive material formed into a plurality of cells, each cell enclosing an opening through the electromagnetic shield, the first spring devices further operable to electrically couple the electromagnetic shield to the conductive frame electrically; a plurality of second spring devices along the second edge of the conductive frame operable to secure the conductive frame in an aperture in a conductive casing and further operable to engage the outer lip of the frame flushly against an outside face of the conductive casing such that the outer lip is disposed around the aperture and to electrically couple the conductive frame to the conductive casing.
