Patent ID: 7113410

Claim:
An electromagnetic shielding structure, comprising: an elongated support member comprising a conductive wall extending from a base edge and having a flange, the flange of the support member being spaced from the base edge and oriented at an angle with respect to the wall portion, wherein the flange of the support member and the conductive wall form an elongated substantially J-shaped hook carried on the base edge; a cover member comprising a conductive side wall substantially coextensive with the conductive wall of the support member and a panel extending laterally from the side wall, the cover member comprising a flange extending from the side wall, wherein the flange and the side wall of the cover member form a substantially J-shaped hook around the panel of the cover member; wherein the J-shaped hooks of the support member and the cover member are located and sized to engage one another for mechanically and electrically attaching the cover member to the support member for completing at least part of an electromagnetic sealing barrier, and furthermore, the side wall of the cover member and the conductive wall of the support member overlap one another and define a space between said side wall and said conductive wall, wherein the flanges of the support member and the cover member reside in the space and mutually engage one another for holding the cover member on the support member.
