Abstract

A protective device for shielding an electrical component part during its operation comprises a protective cover (2, 12) preformed of a film-like material in such a way that the preforming conforms to the topography of said component part in predetermined respects, said protective cover being designed so as to envelope said component part substantially from all sides. The basic part of the protective cover is a thin but rigid plastic film (15) formed by deep drawing, blowing, pressing or rolling. A joining structure (4a, 4b) on the edges of the protective cover parts mechanically locks the parts to each other. Gaps on the protective cover enable contacts through it (9, 10). EMC shielding is provided by a metal plating (16) on the protective cover, said plating having gaps to provide visual connections between the part to be protected and its environment. The metal plating may comprise multiple layers which may be separated by intermediate layers. The protective cover may have a perforation (22) along which it can be torn open. Protective covers are manufactured in the form of a long tape with joining necks (13) connecting adjacent parts.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 2 April 1998 (02.04.98); original claims 1-6 and 21 amended; original claim 27 cancelled; remaining claims unchanged (3 pages)]
1. A protective device for shielding an electrical component part (1) during its operation, comprising a protective cover (2, 12) preformed of a film-like material, the preforming conforming to the topography of said component part in predetermined respects, characterised in that it comprises at least two parts (2, 12) designed to be attached to each other in such a manner that the component part (1) to be protected is enclosed within a closed structure.
2. The protective device of claim 1, characterised in that it comprises a joining structure (4a, 4b) on the edge of at least one part for mechanically attaching the parts to one another.
3. The protective device of claim 1 or 2, characterised in that it comprises between at least two parts a hinge portion (13) to join said parts to each other in a turning manner.
4. The protective device of claim 1, 2 or 3, characterised in that said parts are designed to be attached to one another in such a manner that the joint between them is watertight.
5. The protective device of claim 4, characterised in that in order to increase the tightness said joint comprises a reinforcement which is one of the following: welding, gluing, taping.
6. The protective device or claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, characterised in that said parts are arranged to be attached to one another with a re-openable mechanical joint.
7. The protective device of any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it comprises a physical gap to enable a contact between a connector element (10) in the component part to be protected and another component part, the edge of said gap being designed so as to be sealed around said connector element (10).
8. The protective device of any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it comprises a portion which, in order to leave an insulative gas space of a predetermined size between the component part to be protected and the protective device, is raised with respect to the local topography (8, 13) of said component part.
9. The protective device of any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it is manufactured of one of the following materials: polyester, polyethylene, polycarbonate, polypropylene.
10. The protective device of any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it further comprises a substantially continuous electrically conductive layer (16) in order to provide EMC shielding for said component part.
11. The protective device of claim 10, characterised in that said electrically conductive layer is metallic.
12. The protective device of claim 10, characterised in that said electrically conductive layer is made of a conductive polymer.
13. The protective device of claim 10, 11 or 12, characterised in that said electrically conductive layer comprises a gap in order to create a visual connection between the component part (3) to be protected and its environment.
14. The protective device of any one of claims 10 to 13, characterised in that said electrically conductive layer is on that side of said film-like material which is not intended against the component part to be protected and that it further comprises at least one electrically conductive area on the other side of said film-like material.
15. The protective device of any one of claims 10 to 14, characterised in that said electrically conductive layer comprises at least two sublayers.
16. The protective device of any one of claims 10 to 15, characterised in that it comprises on at least part of its outer surface a metal layer (20) no more than 1 μm thick in order to create a glossy outer surface.
17. The protective device of any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it comprises a proof of genuineness (21).
18. The protective device of any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it further comprises on its outermost surface a substantially continuous anti- oxidisation and anti-wear layer (19).
19. The protective device of any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it comprises a row of holes or depressions (22) to form a tear line.
20. The protective device of claim 19, characterised in that said holes or depressions are in said film-like material (15) so that coatings (16) formed on its surface cover and seal said holes or depressions. 22
21. A method for producing a protective device for shielding an electrical component part during its operation, comprising a step of preforming a cover consisting of film-like material to conform to the topography of said component part in predetermined respects before being attached to said electrical component part characterised in that at least two parts (2, 12) of a said film-like cover are preformed and attached to each other in such a manner that the component part (1) to be protected is enclosed within a closed structure.
22. The method of claim 21, characterised in that several successive parts (2, 12) of the protective device are preformed of a tape-like material in such a manner that said parts form a tape also after the preforming.
23. The method of claim 22, characterised in that said protective devices are formed by a method that is one of the following: deep drawing, blowing, pressing, rolling.
24. The method of any one of claims 21 to 23, characterised in that after the preforming it comprises at least one coating step in which a coating (16) of a desired shape is formed on the surface of the protective device without detaching the protective device from the tape of successive protective devices.
25. The method of claim 24, characterised in that said coating step is vacuum evaporation.
26. The method of claim 24 or 25, characterised in that in said coating step at least one part of a desired shape of said protective device is left uncoated.
