Cellular phone electromagnetic wave earpiece shield

A circular shield adhered over the ear holes of a cellular phone, the shield constituting a woven mesh material of polyester fibers coated with a layer of copper and a layer of nickel over the copper. The woven mesh material is enclosed between a top rim of a compressed aluminum foil and a bottom film having double-sided adhesive.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Throughout the following detailed description, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements in all figures. The cellular phone electromagnetic wave earpiece shield 10 is shown in FIGS. 1 - 3 and 6 - 7 . Referring to FIGS. 3 - 5 , the shield 10 has a main mesh component 12 that is circular in configuration and is made from tightly woven strands of polyester fiber 14 coated with copper 16 and overlaid with nickel 18 . The weave creates a sheen known as taffeta. A first top ring 20 and a second bottom ring 22 of a double-sided adhesive tape encloses a rim portion or periphery of the mesh 12 . A pressed aluminum ring 24 forms a frame member for the shield 10 over a top surface of the first ring 20 and an epoxy resin 26 coats the top of the pressed aluminum ring 24 . A strip of polymer film 28 shown in FIG. 6 is provided so that multiple shields 10 can be easily attached to the film 28 by removable adhesive. The shield 10 bottom adhesive layer 22 bottom surface, is removed from the film 28 and thereafter the shield 10 is attached by the same bottom surface to a cellular phone 30 over its earpiece as shown in FIG. 7 . The preferred mesh 12 is trademarked SHIELDRON® purchased from ELECTRO MAGNETIC SOLUTIONS, INC. and is known as DEI-190. SHIELDRON® is a taffeta mesh of tightly woven polyester strands coated with copper and nickel employing an electroless coating procedure. The DEI-190 mesh provides a 99.999% exclusion of electromagnetic waves impinging on the mesh 12 surface. The epoxy resin employed contains bisphenol, polypropylene glycol, nonylphenol and a hardener. The double-sided tape 20 and 22 can be purchased from the 3 M CORPORATION as a film and cut to size as needed. The above description has described specific structural details embodying the invention. However, it will be within one having ordinary skill in the art to make modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the underlying inventive concept of the shielding device over a cellular phone earpiece. The inventive concept is not limited to the described invention, but includes such modifications and equivalents as would be known to persons of ordinary skill in the art.
