Patent number: 6897371Abstract: A shielding enclosure has an access opening for enabling selective access to a component placed in the shielding enclosure, a closure member and a connector section selectively expansible and contractible to enable the closure member to be captured within the access opening upon expansion of the connecting section to complete shielding of the component and to be disengaged from the access opening upon contraction of the connecting section. In the preferred construction, the connecting section is in the form of a perforated web having beams oriented oblique to the directions of expansion and contraction, and the shielding enclosure is made in one piece from a single blank of shielding material.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2002Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: A K Stamping Co. Inc.Inventors: Arthur A. Kurz, Wayne R. Dunn

Patent number: 5955722Abstract: A smart card reader includes a housing having a rectangular plan configuration and housing members secured together by sets of complementary overlapping tabs located at the four corners of the rectangular housing and joined together, as by welding. Some of the sets include locator elements on one of the tabs of the set for locating the overlapped tabs accurately relative to one another to assure accurate dimensions in the completed housing. A stiffener plate is secured to at least one of the housing members, as by welding at spaced apart locations along the stiffener plate, to add stiffness to the housing. A lead-in ramp assists in leading the smart card from an inlet section of the reader into an intermediate section of the reader for connection to an electrical connector located in a connector section of the reader.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1997Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: A K Stamping Co. Inc.Inventors: Arthur A. Kurz, Horst P. Thiede, Hans W. Blessing

Patent number: 5856632Abstract: A card cage shielding contactor for being interposed between a circuit card bracket and a computer chassis to enhance an electrical shielding connection between the circuit card bracket and the computer chassis when the card cage bracket is juxtaposed with the computer chassis, the card cage shielding contactor including a relatively thin, flexible sheet of electrically conductive material having a multiplicity of contactors in the form of resiliently deflectable fingers located along bands in the sheet and projecting from the bands to establish contact forces enhancing electrical shielding contact between the circuit card bracket and the computer chassis through the card cage shielding contactor.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1996Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignee: A K Stamping Co. Inc.Inventors: James H. Bostrom, Leonard G. Meier, Mark Andrews

Patent number: 4895525Abstract: A cable shield grounding clamp connector includes an outer plate for seating upon the insulating jacket of a shielded electrical cable and an inner plate for interposition between the inner core of insulated conductors of the cable and the shield of the cable, the outer plate being curved to conform to the outer diameter of the cable and the inner plate being resiliently deflectable relative to the outer plate so as to be urged toward conformance with the curvature of the outer plate upon clamping of the jacket and the shield between the outer plate and the inner plate, the inner plate having sharp-edged teeth arranged in longitudinal rows along laterally opposite edges of the inner plate for scraping away a corrosion-inhibiting coating on the shield in response to deflection of the inner plate to expose the shield for direct electrical contact between the inner plate and the shield.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1989Date of Patent: January 23, 1990Assignee: A K Stamping Co. Inc.Inventor: Ignazio E. Leonardo
