Abstract
A cathode ray tube mounting structure comprising a supporter secured to the cathode ray tube and an elevated seat formed at each side of the front portion of a printed circuit board mounting bracket for mounting the supporter. The printed circuit board mounted bracket is secured to a bottom cover or wall member and supported by a brace and ribs formed thereon. The cathode ray tube mounting structure of the present invention supports the weight of the cathode ray tube in a more evenly distributed manner and thereby prevents the monitor case from cracking or deforming to increase product reliability.
Claims6
A cathode ray tube mounting structure for affixing a cathode ray tube to a printed circuit board mounting bracket within a monitor case having a bottom wall member, said mounting structure comprising:
- a supporter secured to said cathode ray tube from below for supporting said cathode ray tube;
- a pair of seats disposed on said printed circuit board mounting bracket for attaching said bracket to said supporter and the bottom wall member;
- and
- a pair of braces provided on the bottom wall member of the monitor, said braces disposed to align with said seats for attaching said seats to the bottom wall member, a plurality of reinforcing ribs formed on the bottom member for stably supporting said mounting structure and said cathode ray tube.
A mounting structure for mounting a cathode ray tube on a printed circuit board bracket within a monitor case, said cathode ray tube including a metal band extending around the periphery of a screen portion, the metal band having lugs disposed at each corner of the screen portion for aligning with corresponding attachment segments of a front cabinet portion of the monitor case, the printed circuit board bracket being affixed to a bottom wall member of the monitor case, said mounting structure comprising
- a generally horizontal supporter extending below the screen portion of said cathode ray tube, said supporter forming a horizontal channel to receive and support the metal band of said cathode ray tube and having upwardly slanted ends, each slanted end having a vertical, forwardly facing flange with an aperture for aligning with corresponding ones of the lugs and the attachment segments, so that said supporter is attached to the lugs and the attachment segments to stably support said cathode ray tube;
- and
- an elevated seat formed on each of a pair of opposed side walls of the printed circuit board bracket, each said seat configured to align with a horizontal portion of said supporter adjacent said slanted ends to mount said supporter on said seats.
