  • Patent number: 11767707
    Abstract: A door assembly for an electromagnetic shielded enclosure includes a metal door frame for defining a passageway into the enclosure and a door for selectively enclosing the passageway. The door includes a door leaf pivotally coupled to the frame. A set of radio frequency (RF) seals is connected to the exposed peripheral edge of a conductive plate in the door leaf. Each RF seal includes a resilient movable finger which overlies a U-shaped bracket mounted along the outer edge of the door leaf. A plurality of air cylinders is mounted within each bracket and is designed to urge the resilient finger of each RF seal into contact with the door frame.

  • Patent number: 11277947
    Abstract: An electromagnetic and radiation shielding system includes an enclosure shaped to define a room interior which is accessible through a single passageway, and a door assembly for selectively enclosing the passageway. The door assembly includes a frame mounted within the passageway in conductive contact with a metal skin incorporated into the enclosure, a door with a conductive rear face which is adapted to selectively enclose the passageway, and a seal for selectively establishing continuous, peripheral contact between the frame and the rear face of the door when the door is disposed in its closed position. In this manner, the door assembly cooperates with the enclosure to form an electromagnetic barrier around the room interior in all directions. Additionally, both the enclosure and the door are constructed with a layer of radiation-shielding material to form a radiation barrier around the room interior in all directions.
