TEAR-DROP SHAPED HDD CARRIER EMI FINGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17717355 Titled 'TEAR-DROP SHAPED HDD CARRIER EMI FINGER'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a carrier assembly that is used to mount equipment into a carrier slot. The assembly includes an electro-magnetic interference (EMI) shield, which protects the equipment from EMI. The EMI shield is formed in one plane of the assembly. There is also an EMI finger that protrudes from the EMI shield and is connected to it. The EMI finger is formed in a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane. When the carrier assembly is installed into the carrier slot, the EMI finger couples the EMI shield to the slot. The EMI finger has a tear-drop shape when viewed from a specific direction.
Original Abstract Submitted
A carrier assembly for mounting equipment into a carrier slot includes an electro-magnetic interference (EMI) shield and an EMI finger. The EMI shield protects the mounted equipment from EMI. The EMI shield is formed in a first plane of the carrier assembly. The EMI finger protrudes from the EMI shield and is coupled to the EMI shield. The EMI finger is formed in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. The EMI finger operates, when the carrier assembly is installed into the carrier slot, to couple the EMI shield to the carrier slot. The EMI finger, when viewed from a first direction that is perpendicular to both the first plane and the second plane, is formed in a tear-drop shape.
