First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electromagnetically shielded viewing window for an enclosure comprising:
- a pair of spaced, substantially transparent panels;
a wire mesh coextensively extending intermediate said panels, said wire mesh formed of respective crossing conductive wires;
conductive means joining said respective crossing conductive wires at each crossing and defining an open area therebetween;
said conductive means including a conductive plating material on said wire mesh sufficient to conductively join said conductive wires only at each crossing;
a wire gasket extending around the perimeter of at least one side of said panels; and
a portion of said wire mesh projecting beyond one of said panels and being in overlying conductive engagement with said wire gasket for groundably mounting to said enclosure.

Abstract
An electromagnetically shielded viewing window for an enclosure including a wire mesh member formed of respective crossing wires bonded between a pair of transparent panels, wherein the wire cross points are joined by nickel/copper plating of the wire mesh without covering the mesh open areas. A dull coating of antiqued silver is applied to the plated wire mesh to reduce window glare. A wire gasket extends around the panel perimeter, and a wire mesh portion projects beyond one of the panels and overlies the wire gasket to reliably ground the wire mesh when mounted to the enclosure.
