Application November 20, 1953, Serial No. 393,372

12 Claims. (Cl. 174-35) This invention relates to improvements in the construction of electrically shielded enclosures, or screen rooms, for protection from high frequency wave emanations and particularly to improvements in portable, prefabricated, screen rooms which can be readily dismantled or knocked down and then reassembled and set up at another location; this application being a continuation-inpart of my copending application Serial No. 308,136, filed September 5, 1952, issued as Patent No. 2,765,362.

Various materials are known to possess shielding characteristics which will serve the purpose of isolating space units against electromagnetic and electrostatic wave penetrations and such materials are usually metallic and planar in form. Shielding efficiency is related to conductivity and nonpermeability and it is known that continuous electrical conductivity between contiguous points in the shielding element affords a pronounced efficiency as a radio wave shield in the intermediate and lower wave bands. However, by utilizing multiple, mutually spaced, shielding enclosures the quality of wave attenuation may be further enhanced and extended over a wider range of frequencies.

In respect to double screen shields, it is recognized that the effectiveness of attenuation is dependent upon establishment of efficient impedance and for this purpose each screen is required to be electrically isolated from the other. Thus, since each screen must completely encompass the space to be shielded, one being entirely within the other, there is presented a unique problem of maintaining continuity of conduction between consecutive sections of the same screen shield and, at the same time, securing electrical isolation of the different screens.

In recognition of these factors it is a principal object of this invention to provide an improved prefabricated, multiple-panel, screen room construction utilizing dual screen shields and in which positive continuity of conduction between the corresponding screen shield elements of contiguous panels is automatically established, as the panels are assembled to each other, while complete electrical isolation of one screen shield from the other is maintained.

Other particular objects of this invention are to provide an improved demountable screen room; to provide such a device having an improved arrangement of panel units for its assembly; to provide an improved panel unit construction for assembling screen room structures; to provide an improved frame type of panel for constructing screen rooms having two complete shielding enclosures, one within the other, electrically independent of each other; to provide an improved panel construction having independent screen elements which will automatically connect with the corresponding screen elements of an adjoining top, bottom, or side panel to provide a completely encompassing, multiple shielded enclosure; to

, 2,860,176 Patented Nov'. 11, 1958 during screen room assembly; and to provide a simple and cheap screen room panel construction whereby screen rooms of various sizes may be made from multiples of but three basic or standard panel units.

A specific embodiment of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is an exploded view, in perspective, showing endwall, top, and side wall screen room panels and illustrating the structure and relationship of the three basic panel types from which the improved screen room may be assembled; the three panel types being designated A, B and C respectively.

Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view showing the relation of the three panel types in a typical screen room assembly, the' floor being the same as the top and therefore omitted.

Fig. 3 is vertical sectional view of an erected screen room, as taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 5, showing the construction and manner of assembly of the endwall, top and floor panels.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary vertical transverse sectional view of the same, as taken on line 44 of Fig. 3, showing the construction and manner of assembly of the sidewall top and floor panes.

Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view of the same showing the arrangement of the side and end panels in assembled relation. Fig. 6 is a sectional view as taken on line 66 in Fig. 1, showing the abutting-edge screen terminal arrangement for the adjoining edges of panels lying in a common plane, and for the longitudinal edges of the top, side and floor panels which adjoin the end panels.

Fig. 7 is a sectional view as taken on line 7--7 in Fig. 1 showing the construction and screen terminal arrangement for the end edges of the top, end, and floor panels and for the corner-side edges of the end panels.

Fig. 8 is a sectional view, as taken on line 88 of Fig. 1, showing the screen terminal arrangement for the top and bottom end edges of the sidewall panels.

Fig. 9 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 6 but showing a modified construction, and

Fig. 10 is a similar view showing another modified construction.

In the form shown in the drawings the improved prefabricated screen room panels are of three basic types, designated A, B and C respectively, from which a rectangular, six-sided cubical or housing may be constructed, as indicated in Fig. 2. The height of the structure is determined by the length of the end corner panels C, which is preferably a predetermined standard, and the width and length of the structure is determined by the width of the intermediate end panels A and the side panels B," which is preferably a predetermined standard also. Thus, by varying the number of A end panels and the number of B side panels employed, screen rooms of various sizes can be assembled. The roof and floor panels are of the same type and construction as the intermediate end panels A and are of the same width as the B panels. Their length, however, will vary according to the number of A type end panels used.

Since the purpose of the invention is to provide a prefabricated, multiple-panel screen room having two complete screen shields each wholly encompassing the included space and electrically isolated from the other, the particular features of this invention, for which patent is claimed, reside in the novel disposition and arrangement of the terminal margins of the individual screen elements on each panel, and in the novel construction of the marginal portions of the individual screen room panels which interfit with the mating portions of contiguous panels, whereby electrical isolation of the indi' continuously over the entire surface of each face portion of the panel that remains exposed when'the screen room is assembled' Thetype A form, used for the roof, floor and intermediate end panels, has parallel longitudinalor side edges and the marginal surfaces of each side edge lie in'a common plane, normal to the'face'surfaces of the panel, as shown at]. and 2 in Fig. 6. These marginal edge surfaces 1 and 2 function aslands for'contact engagement with an adjoining panel as will be described. As shown, the longitudinal margins 6 of the inner shielding screen 4 are tameats overlapthe respective lands 1 and 2 of each side edge surface of the panel andare suitably secured as will be hereafter described.

Each end of the type A panel is shaped, as shown in Figs. 1 and 7, to provide a shoulder-seat 7 to receive the square end or side edge of an adjoining panel lying in a plane normal to the plane of the A panel. The shoulder-seat 7 is formed by cutting away the margin of the inner face of the panel to a depth of one-half the panel thickness and the width of the cut is preferably equal to the thickness ofthe panel edge to be received; Thus if the panels are all of the same thickness, as is preferable, and such thickness is 1%", the inner endmargin of the A panel will be cut away to a depth of A" and width of 1% so that when the edge of the adjoining panel is set snug in the shoulder seat the end of the A panel will be flush with the outer surface of the adjoining panel. This relationship .of panels adjoining at right angles to each other is shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5. As shown, each end portion 8 of the shielding screen 3 on the outer side of the A panel is extended completely around the outermost end of the panel so that its margin 9 will overlap the opposite surface 10 of the shoulder-seat 7. The end margin 11 of the inner shielding screen 4, however, is turned to overlap the end shoulder 12 in the same manner as at the sides ofthe panel. Thus, in the shoulder-seat of the panel, the end margins 9 and 11 of the two shielding screens lie in right angular, spaced relation with each other rather than in the same plane as at 5 and 6 on the side edges of the panel.

Referring to Fig. 6 it will be seen that the edges of the screen side margins 5 and 6 are turned at right angles to the plane of the lands 1 and 2 and each is set edgewise into a respective channel 13, cut into the edge of the panel. Preferably the channels 13 are narrow saw cuts, located at a predetermined distance from the adjacent panel face, and define the width of the lands 1 and 2; Also the channels 13 are preferably of such depth that when each edge of the screen is bottomed in its respective channel, after the screen has been stretched 'taut across the respective panel face and secured, as by'the staples 14, a slight amount of surplus screen material will exist so as to cause the marginal portions 5 and 6 to bow outwardly from the surface of the lands 1' and 2, as shown in Fig. 6, and thereby provide a resilient'contact surface above each land which will assure continuous conductive engagement with the similarly disposed screen 'margins of a mating or adjoining panel and throughout the length of thepanel-to-panel join-t.

' As shown in Fig. 7 the screen contactniargins at the ends of the A panel aretreated in a similar manner; i. e., the edges of the screen margins are set into respec tive saw-cut channels 15' which define the screen contact land areas. Also, as shown in Fig.7, the ends of the screen 3 and 4 are secured by suitable staples 16 and 17,

so that there can be no strain or pull on the bowed contact margins 9 and 11 and, if desired, resilient fillets 18, of rubber or other suitable material, may be disposed along the length of each land to assure perfect conductive pressure-contact of the screen margins with the mating screen margins of an adjoining screen.

The type B panel, used for the side walls of the screen room assembly, has longitudinal side edges formed the same as the side edges of the A panel, as shown in Fig. 6, and the outer and inner shielding screens 3.1 and 4.1 have their side margins 5.1 and 6.1, respectively, turned to overlap the panel edges in the same manner (see Fig. 1). The ends of the B panels, however, have a particular arrangement necessitated to adapt them for conjunction with the C type panels at the screen room corners while maintaining a minimum of panel thickness. This arrangement is illustrated in Fig. 8 and it will be seen that, while the end margin 19 of the outer screen 3.1 is bowed over a panel-end land 20 and its edge is seated in a saw-cut channel 21, just as on the side edges, the inner screen 4.1 terminates short of the panel end edges and the edge of the screen is set into a saw-cut groove 22 formed in the inner face surface of the panel parallel with and just inside of the panel end edge. In this case the contact land 23 is defined by the groove 22 and the line of staples 24 by which the screen 4.1 is held taut over the panel face; and the contact margin 25 of the screen is bowed between the staples 24 and the groove 22 in the same manner as the other screen contact margins. With this arrangement for the inner screen end terminals oft he B panels, electrical isolation of the inner screen shield from the other screen shield at the top and bottom ends of 1% panel junction will be assured.

The C type panels, which are the end corner panels of the screen room structure, each have one square side edge 26 on which the inner and outer screen terminal margins are constructedand arranged in the same manner as the side edges of the type A panel, as shown in Fig. 6. The top, bottom, and opposite side edges of theC panels, however, are formed and arranged in the same manner as the ends of the A panels and forthe sake of illustration the corresponding elements are designated by the same numbers in the drawings. i 7

It will now be seen that when the mating portions of any pair of the improved panels are brought together: the adjoining edges will interfit and the contact margins of the respective screen shields will so engage each other that perfect conductivity between the respective shield elements will be had over the entire length of the junction while maintaining complete electrical isolation of the two shields from each other. This is shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5 wherein the joint relationship of each type of panel with another is illustrated. It will also now be seen that by appropriate combination of the three basic panel types a complete screen room can be assembled in which independent dual shields, each, completely encompassing the included space, will be provided. Also it will'be apparent that a screen room so constructed may be readily dismantled, for storage or removal to another location, and that there is practically no need for labelingthe several panels for relocation since the panels of each of the three types are identical and interchangeable.

in the assembly of a screen room according to this invention the floor panels ofthe A type are first laid and suitably connected together by tie plates 27, as shown in Fig. 3. Then an end wall, comprising two C panels and at leastone A type end panel, is erected, together with a pair of the B type side wall panels, and the several panels are suitably clamped together by angle corner brackets 28, at the floor and the B-C panel junc tions, and "by angle clips 29 at the edge to edge joints. The first roof panel of the"A type is then placed and secured to the end and sidewall panels by appropriate corner brackets 28, and thereafter the erection of the structure is completed by setting up the remaining side and roof panels and the opposite end wall, all edge-to-edge joints being clamped together by angle clips 29 as shown. Finally a solid floor, indicated by the line 30 in Figs. 3 and 4, is laid over the inner surface of the floor panels, to permit working within the enclosure without damage to the wire shielding of the floor panels, and the two shielding wire enclosures are connected to a common ground at a single convenient location.

It will be understood that a suitable door will be provided in one of the wall panels for access to the interior of the structure and while a door is not herein illustrated reference may be had to my copending application, Serial Number 308,136, in which a suitable door arrangement is shown and described.

Modifications of the panel edge construction, for edgeto-edge abutting panel joints, are shown in Figs. 9 and 10 and in each of these arrangements a single channel is formed which extends, in width, the entire distance between the coplanar lands 32 and 33. Thus each land is in the form of a rectangular rib which extends the length of the panel edge and the screen margins are turned back upon themselves, over the respective rib and each edge is secured to the inner surface of the rib by means of staples lid. in the form shown in Fig. 9 the bowing of the screen contacting area 35, over the face of the respective rib, is obtained by first securing the screen in taut condition on the face side of the panel by means of marginal staples 36, and then securing the edge of the screen by means of the staples 34 while holding the contact margin in the desired bowed form. In the form shown in Fig. 10 a fillet 37, of suitable elastic material, such as rubber, is first applied lengthwise along each land and then the screen material is stretched tightly over the land and fillet and secured by means of the staples 34. in this arrangement the need for the marginal staples on the face sides of the panel is obviated.

The main advantages of this invention reside in the improved and simplified panel construction whereby a highly efiicient screen room may be made from light weight demountable and interchangeable panel units; and in the fact that only types of panel construction are needed to provide a practical range of screen room sizes. Other advantages reside in the improved and simplified panel edge constructions which by their appropriate combination, provide positive isolation of dual screen-shields and complete continuity of conduction between the screen sections comprising each shield; in the improved construction whereby continuous conductive contact between corresponding screens of adjoining panels is automatically established as the panels are joined together; and in the relatively low cost of constructing the improved panels whereby the total cost of screen rooms of substantially any size, is materially reduced without sacrifice of any of the highest attenuation efiiciency normally required.

Although several embodiments of this invention are herein shown and described it will be understood that details of the constructions shown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of this invention as defined by the following claims.
