Abstract
An electromagnetic shielding gasket assembly includes a coil spring for blocking the propagation of electromagnetic waves therepast. The coil spring includes individal coils interconnected with one another and disposed in a canted relationship with a centerline of the coil spring and cause the coil spring to block the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The individual coils may be interconnected in a manner forming a continuous circular spring which may be disposed in a groove including a wedge-shaped portion for deflecting the individual coils and causing the individual coils to abutt at an inside diameter of the continuous circular spring.
Claims25
Electromagnetic shielding gasket assembly comprising:
- coil spring means for blocking the propagation of electromagnetic waves therepast, said coil spring means comprising a plurality of individual coils canted along a centerline thereof;
- means for supporting the plurality of individual coils in an orientation for controlling the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the coil spring means;
- and
- means, cooperating with said coil spring means, for loading the plurality of coils to control an aperture of the coil spring means through which electromagnetic waves can propagate.
