Abstract
An electrical sealing device consisting of a brush-like element comprising a plurality of flexible filaments (1) the majority of which are electrically conductive and are distributed substantially uniformly among the insulating filaments. The device can be used, for example, for electrically sealing around the edge of a door (6) of an equipment enclosure (5) so as to prevent electromagnetic interference from leaking into or out of the enclosure, or can be used for electrically sealing an aperture (9) through which wires (10) may pass.
Claims9
An electrical sealing device comprising a strip-like conductive holder and a plurality of flexible filaments mounted in the holder and extending outward therefrom, the majority of the filaments being electrically insulating and the remainder of the filaments being electrically conductive, the conductive filaments being distributed substantially uniformly among the insulating filaments and being in conductive contact with the holder.
An enclosure for electrical equipment, the enclosure having an aperture, and an electrical sealing device for reducing the passage of electromagnetic interference through the aperture, the sealing device comprising a plurality of flexible filaments of which a majority are electrically insulating and the remainder are electrically conductive, the conductive filaments being distributed substantially uniformly among the insulating fibres.
