CATHODE-RAY TUBE MOUNTING APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention provides an improvement in the mounting of a cathode-ray tube (22) within a bezel (11). The cathode-ray tube includes a unitary shellbond frame (30, 40, 50, 60) having integral mounting lugs (32, 42, 52, 62, 82, 132) which are positioned at locations either in the corners or off of the corners. The mounting lugs are formed with tapered sections (37, 38, 86, 137) along a depth dimension to allow a tube having the shellbond frame applied to be simply lowered into a bezel having lug receiving recesses (13) of a complimentary shape. The tapered lug and complimentary lug receiving recess provides self-alignment of the tube before it is secured to the bezel.
