Patent ID: 7562742

Claim:
An attenuation mechanism for an electronic device, the attenuation mechanism comprising: an outer member having a hexagonal interior cross-section, wherein multiple outer members are oriented side-by-side to form a multi-unit assembly, wherein each outer member of the multi-unit assembly has a hexagonal exterior surface such that at least one planar exterior surface of a hexagonal exterior surface of a first outer member is mated with an adjacent planar exterior surface of a second outer member such that there are no spaces between adjacent outer members, said lack of spaces preventing leakage of noise and electromagnetic radiation from the housing; and an inner member having flat edges and oriented axially within the outer member, wherein the inner member has an axial twist that causes a line of sight blockage between an exterior and an interior of a housing of an electronic device, wherein the flat edges of the inner member mate flush against flat interior surfaces of the outer member, and wherein the inner member locks into the hexagonal interior cross-section.
