Abstract

A shielding assembly includes a hollow frame and a cover mounted to the hollow frame. The hollow frame comprises a plurality of sidewalls, where one of the sidewalls defines a first groove and another one of the sidewall opposite to the one of sidewalls includes a first fixing portion. The cover includes a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, a first latch located on the first end and engaged with the first groove, and a second fixing portion located on the second end and engaged with the first fixing portion, so as to retain the cover on the frame. The first latch includes a resilient bent portion extending from the first end of the cover, and a hook protruding from the resilient bent portion and received in the groove.

Claims (10)

1. A shielding assembly, comprising:

a hollow frame comprising a plurality of sidewalls and a plurality of top portions respectively perpendicularly extending from the sidewalls, the sidewalls and the top portions collectively defining a hollow area, each top portion comprising a top wall extending from edge of a corresponding sidewall and towards the hollow area, a resisting wall extending perpendicularly from the top wall, and a supporting wall extending perpendicularly from the resisting wall and towards the hollow area of the hollow frame, one of the supporting walls defining a first groove, and another one of the supporting walls opposite to the one of the supporting walls comprising a first fixing portion;

a cover located on the supporting portions to cover the hollow frame, the cover comprising a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, a first latch located on the first end and corresponding to the first groove, and a second fixing portion located on the second end and corresponding to the first fixing portion, the first latch comprising a resilient bent portion extending from the first end of the cover, and a hook protruding from the resilient bent portion;

wherein the hook interferes with the first groove and abuts against on an inner surface of a corresponding one of the resisting walls, and the second fixing portion engages with the first fixing portion, so as to retain the cover on the hollow frame, when the resilient bent portion is pressed towards the hollow area of the hollow frame, the hook is moved from the first groove by elastic deformability of the resilient bent portion, such that the cover is released from the hollow frame.

2. The shielding assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first latch further comprises a trigger portion extending from the resilient bent portion.

3. The shielding assembly as claimed in claim 2 , the trigger portion defines a hole.

4. The shielding assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first fixing portion defines a second groove, and the second fixing portion comprises a second latch engaged with the second groove.

5. The shielding assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the second latch has the same structure of the first latch.

6. The shielding assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two gaps are defined on two sides of the hook, respectively.

7. The shielding assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first fixing portion is a latch hole, and the second fixing portion is a tongue extending from the second end of the cover and received in the latch hole.
