Dual configuration enclosure with optional shielding
First Claim
1. An electro-magnetic shield configured for placement within an enclosure for an electronic device that includes at least one wireless antenna, the shield comprising:
- a metallic cage, the metallic cage including sides, a bottom and a top that collectively define an enclosed volume, the top being slanted at a non-zero angle with respect to the bottom;
a set of beveled through-holes defined in the top of the metallic cage, the set of beveled through-holes being aligned with respective structural posts of the enclosure, wherein the beveled through-holes are configured to enable assembly of the enclosure, andat least one opening defined in the top of the metallic cage for passage of the at least one wireless antenna through the top of metallic cage.

Abstract
An enclosure for an electronic device may include an outer enclosure and an optional metallic cage. The metallic cage may include sides, a bottom and a top that collectively define an enclosed volume, with the top being slanted at a non-zero angle with respect to the bottom. The outer enclosure may at least partially enclose the metallic cage and may define a plurality of structural posts and a top surface that faces the top of the metallic cage. The top surface may define a plurality of recesses, each being configured to receive a wireless antenna of the electronic device. The recesses may be oriented to provide a predetermined angular displacement between the antennas and may be disposed to define a predetermined spacing relative to the metallic cage. A set of beveled through-holes may be defined in the top of the metallic cage, aligned with respective ones of the structural posts.
