Fixation of cathode ray tube in TV receiver cabinet

Abstract

A TV receiver includes a cabinet, a cathode ray tube ( 3 ) with a substantially rectangular screen ( 4 ) and two brackets ( 6 ) which are secured to side parts ( 9 ) of the cathode ray tube for the purpose of mounting the cathode ray tube in the cabinet. For easy mounting of electronic parts inside the cabinet, the TV receiver includes a lower and an upper cabinet part ( 1,2 ), and the brackets ( 6 ) and the lower cabinet part ( 1 ) includes portions for ( 12-17 ) temporarily positioning and holding the cathode ray tube ( 3 ) in a tilted position in the lower cabinet part for servicing purposes.

I claim:

A TV receiver comprising a cabinet, a cathode ray tube with a substantially rectangular screen and two brackets which are secured to lateral parts of the cathode ray tube for the purpose of mounting the cathode ray tube in the cabinet, characterized in that the cabinet comprises a lower and an upper cabinet part, said lower cabinet part being box-shaped and having a base on which television circuits are mounted, vertical sides and a open top portion, one of said vertical sides having an opening therein for at least partially receiving the cathode ray tube, and said upper cabinet part having a shape complementary to said lower cabinet part for receiving a remaining portion of said cathode ray tube and for closing the open top portion of said lower cabinet part, and said brackets and said lower cabinet part comprise means for temporarily positioning and holding the cathode ray tube in a tilted position in the lower cabinet part allowing access to the television circuits mounted on the base of the lower cabinet part for servicing purposes. 
     
     
       2. A TV receiver comprising a cabinet, a cathode ray tube with a substantially rectangular screen and two brackets which are secured to lateral parts of the cathode ray tube for the purpose of mounting the cathode ray tube in the cabinet, characterized in that the cabinet comprises a lower and an upper cabinet part, and that said brackets and said lower cabinet part comprise means for temporarily positioning and holding the cathode ray tube in a tilted position in the lower cabinet part for servicing purposes, characterized in that each bracket comprises a hook near a central portion and a protrusion at a lower end portion of the bracket, and that said lower cabinet part comprises rims and ribs for cooperation with the hooks and the protrusions, for suspending and holding the cathode ray tube in its tilted position, respectively. 
     
     
       3. A TV receiver as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that each bracket comprises a resilient stud at its end portion, and that the cathode ray tube comprises a mounting eyelet at each corner of the screen for receiving the studs, for snap-mounting the brackets to the cathode ray tube. 
     
     
       4. A TV receiver as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that each bracket comprises only one hole for receiving a fastener for fastening the bracket in the lower cabinet part. 
     
     
       5. A TV receiver as claimed in  claim 2 , characterized in that each bracket comprises a resilient stud at its end portion, and that the cathode ray tube comprises a mounting eyelet at each corner of the screen for receiving the studs, for snap-mounting the brackets to the cathode ray tube. 
     
     
       6. A TV receiver as claimed in  claim 2 , characterized in that each bracket comprises only one hole for receiving a fastener for fastening the bracket in the lower cabinet part. 
     
     
       7. A TV receiver as claimed in  claim 3 , characterized in that each bracket comprises only one hole for receiving a fastener for fastening the bracket in the lower cabinet part. 
     
     
       8. A TV receiver as claimed in  claim 5 , characterized in that each bracket comprises only one hole for receiving a fastener for fastening the bracket in the lower cabinet part. 
     
     
       9. A monitor comprising a cabinet, a cathode ray tube with a substantially rectangular screen and two brackets which are secured to lateral parts of the cathode ray tube for the purpose of mounting the cathode ray tube in the cabinet, characterized in that the cabinet comprises a lower and an upper cabinet part, said lower cabinet part being box- shaped and having a base on which circuits are mounted, vertical sides and a open top portion, one of said vertical side having an opening therein for at least partially receiving the cathode ray tube, and said upper cabinet part having a shape complementary to said lower cabinet part for receiving a remaining portion of said cathode ray tube and for closing the open top portion of said lower cabinet part, and said brackets and said lower cabinet part comprise means for temporarily positioning and holding the cathode ray tube in a tilted position in the lower cabinet part allowing access to the circuits mounted on the base of the lower cabinet part for servicing purposes.    
     
     
       10. A monitor comprising a cabinet, a cathode ray tube with a substantially rectangular screen and two brackets which are secured to lateral parts of the cathode ray tube for the purpose of mounting the cathode ray tube in the cabinet, characterized in that the cabinet comprises a lower and an upper cabinet part, and that said brackets and said lower cabinet part comprise means for temporarily positioning and holding the cathode ray tube in a tilted position in the lower cabinet part for servicing purposes, characterized in that each bracket comprises a hook near a central portion and a protrusion at a lower end portion of the bracket, and that said lower cabinet part comprises rims and ribs for cooperation with the hooks and the protrusions, for suspending and holding the cathode ray tube in its tilted position, respectively.  
     
     
       11. The monitor as claimed in  claim 9 , characterized in that each bracket comprises a resilient stud at its end portion, and that the cathode ray tube comprises a mounting eyelet at each corner of the screen for receiving the studs, for snap- mounting the brackets to the cathode ray tube.    
     
     
       12. The monitor as claimed in  claim 9 , characterized in that each bracket comprises only one hole for receiving a fastener for fastening the bracket in the lower cabinet part.  
     
     
       13. The monitor as claimed in  claim 10 , characterized in that each bracket comprises a resilient stud at its end portion, and that the cathode ray tube comprises a mounting eyelet at each corner of the screen for receiving the studs, for snap- mounting the brackets to the cathode ray tube.
