Dwyer | February 9, 1971 |
A shielded duct assembly comprised of a plurality of individual elements, each having completely removable cover portions to allow wires and the like to be placed or laid directly therein after the elements have been assembled to form a continuous duct. Complete magnetic and electrostatic shielding is accomplished through the establishment of a continuous current conducting path through means disposed in the sealing gaskets for the removable cover portions and intermediate adjacent individual members of the duct assembly and the further establishment of a parallel, continuous magnetic flux conductive path through the use of suitably configured joint forming members intermediate the ends of individual conduit sections whereby magnetic flux energy is shunted toward the interior of the duct in areas of flux concentration occurring at laterally outwardly opening joints, or discontinuities in the duct assembly.
