Abstract
A device for securing a mirror in a projection television is disclosed. The device includes a cabinet having an aperture defined by edges. A shoulder element is located adjacent each of the edges, wherein each shoulder element extends underneath the aperture and is positioned for supporting peripheral edges of a reflection surface of the mirror. The device further includes a mirror cover plate located adjacent a back surface of the mirror and affixed to the cabinet. In addition, the device includes a securing element affixed between the back surface and the mirror cover plate for reducing deformation of said mirror.
Claims21
A device for securing a mirror having a reflection surface and a back surface in a projection television, comprising:
- a cabinet having an aperture defined by edges;
- a shoulder element adjacent each of said edges, each said shoulder element extending underneath said aperture and positioned for supporting peripheral edges of said reflection surface;
- a mirror cover plate affixed on said cabinet and adjacent said back surface;
- and
- a securing element affixed between said back surface and said mirror cover plate for reducing deformation of said mirror.
A device for securing a mirror having a reflection surface and a back surface in a projection television, comprising:
- a cabinet having an aperture defined by edges;
- a mirror cover plate affixed on said cabinet and over said aperture;
- a shoulder element located adjacent each of said edges, each said shoulder element extending underneath said aperture and positioned for supporting peripheral edges of said reflection surface to form a gap between said back surface and said mirror cover plate;
- and
- a securing element affixed in said gap and between said back surface and said mirror cover plate for inhibiting deformation of said mirror.
A device for securing a mirror having a reflection surface and a back surface in a projection television, comprising:
- a cabinet having an aperture defined by edges;
- a bracket element adjacent each of said edges, each said bracket element including a first element and a shoulder element, said first element extending from an inner surface of said cabinet and said shoulder element extending transverse to said first element and underneath said aperture and positioned for supporting peripheral edges of said reflection surface;
- a mirror cover plate affixed on said cabinet and adjacent said back surface;
- and
- double sided adhesive tape having a rectangular shape affixed between said back surface and said mirror cover plate for inhibiting movement of said mirror and thus reducing deformation of said mirror.
A device for securing a mirror having a reflection surface and a back surface in a projection television, said back surface having outer peripheral areas, comprising:
- a cabinet having an aperture defined by edges;
- a bracket element adjacent each of said edges, each said bracket element including a first element and a shoulder element, said first element extending from an inner surface of said cabinet and said shoulder element extending transverse to said first element and underneath said aperture and positioned for supporting peripheral edges of said reflection surface;
- a mirror cover plate affixed on said cabinet and adjacent said back surface;
- and
- a resilient element positioned between said outer peripheral areas and said mirror cover plate and biased therebetween to secure said mirror.
