Apparatus for positioning around the screen of a cathode ray tube

An apparatus for use with a cathode ray tube, the cathode ray tube having a screen, a screen end, an upper surface, a lower surface and side surfaces, said apparatus being capable of being positioned around the screen end of the cathode ray tube, said apparatus comprising in combination:

• a strap of a flexible material having a circumference capable of being positioned around the upper surface, lower surface and side surfaces of the cathode ray tube adjacent its screen end to form a cylinder with a rectangular cross section, the strap having a generally horizontal axis capable of extending through the screen of the cathode ray tube, the strap capable of assuming a generally rectangular configuration when placed around the screen forming two vertical side extents, an upper horizontal extent and a lower horizontal extent, the strap including a flap extending downwardly a short distance from the upper horizontal extent;
• a pile-type fastener secured to a central region of the flap in a vertical orientation;
• a plurality of pockets attached to the vertical extents of the strap, a stitched seam permanently attaching the pockets to the strap, the stitched seam sewn along vertical end edges and a lower horizontal end edge of the pocket forming a U-shaped seam, the pockets having an opening along their upper horizontal end edge;
• an adjustable structure in the lower horizontal extent of the strap diametrically opposed from the flap;
• and
• a replaceable decorative attachment supportable by the strap, the pocket and the pile-type fastener, the decorative attachment being a doll, the doll having a first vertical portion, a second vertical portion and an upper horizontal portion, the first and second vertical portions having rods, the rods being coupled at their upper extents to an adjacent section on an exterior surface of the attachment, the rods have a lengths and widths essentially equal to the lengths and widths of the pockets for positioning in the pockets of the strap, the first and second vertical portions formed in the shape of legs, the upper horizontal portion being positioned on the upper extent of the strap, the upper horizontal portion having a rectangular extension for positioning over the flap of the strap, the rectangular extension having an interior side and an exterior side, the interior side having a pile-type fastener assembly for affixing to the pile-type fastener of the strap, the exterior side having indicia, the doll having a head and a face, the head extending upwardly from the upper horizontal portion being of such strength so as to remain in an upright position from the upper horizontal extent of the strap.
