Abstract
A CRT support panel for a projection television set is provided that includes a generally vertically extending body, a mounting foot extending from the base of the body and a handle extending from the top of the body. The body preferably has a thin walled open corrugated profile. The corrugated profile enables the cross-section of the panel to be increased to significantly increase it strength to guard against buckling without significantly increasing its weight. The panel, which is preferably plastic injection molded as a unitary part, tends to have sufficient flexibility to guard against shock and vibration damage during transportation.
