Abstract:

An EMI shielded collapsible enclosure includes an upper enclosure half having a top wall connecting a surrounding upper sidewall, the top wall and upper sidewall being adapted to provide EMI resistance. A lower enclosure half has a bottom wall connecting a surrounding sidewall, the bottom wall and lower sidewall being adapted to provide EMI resistance. The upper sidewall and lower sidewall are of similar shape, with one smaller than the other to be telescopically received therein. Actuators are operatively associated with the upper enclosure half and the lower enclosure half for selectively extending or retracting the enclosure halves between a transport mode and an operational mode, an interior space defined by the upper enclosure half and the lower enclosure half being substantially larger in the operational mode.
