a first shield case 211 covering a portion of one surface of
the circuit board, and a second shield case 203 covering a
portion of the other surface of the circuit board. The second
shield case
203 is integral with the casing. The first and second shield
cases 211, 203 each engage spring channels 207, 209 which are
soldered to the circuit board and have opposing spring fingers
301, 303 between which the walls of the shields 211, 203 are
inserted to make a ground connection with the board (col. 3,
lines 1 to 10). This allows the shields to be easily
removable from the board (col. 2, lines 60 to 63; col. 3, line
68 to
col. 4, line 3).
Mendolia discloses an electronic device (e.g., a cellular
telephone) having a printed circuit board 100, part of the
board being shielded by shield can 210. In Fig. 2F, a stand-
off 350 of spongy material is provided between the casing 170
and the top of the shield can, whereby “[t]he stand-off 350
provides sufficient pressure between the rear housing 170, the
shield can 210, and the printed circuit board 100 to hold the
