Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
In combination, a screen formed of interwoven electrically conductive fibers, said screen constituting means for diffusing electromagnetic radiation emitted from a cathode ray tube, and a frame connected about a periphery of said screen, a ground wire connected to said screen, said screen and frame positioned adjacent to a cathode ray tube, the improvement wherein said frame includes non-conductive outer frame members which define an interior channel, a conductive inner frame member fitted in said channel with the screen and ground wire connected to the inner frame member, and a hanger connected to the frame, said hanger constituting means for positioning said frame and screen in front of said cathode ray tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
In combination, a screen formed of interwoven electrically conductive fibers, said screen constituting means for diffusing electromagnetic radiation emitted from a cathode ray tube, and a frame connected about a periphery of said screen, a ground wire connected to said screen, said screen and frame positioned adjacent to a cathode ray tube, the improvement wherein said frame includes non-conductive outer frame members which define an interior channel, a conductive inner frame member fitted in said channel with the screen and ground wire connected to the inner frame member, and a hanger connected to the frame, said hanger constituting means for positioning said frame and screen in front of said cathode ray tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said hanger includes first and second hanger members positioned at opposite side edge of the frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein each hanger member includes a first hanger strip fitted in said interior channel and extending from said frame, a second hanger strip pivotally connected to said first hanger strip outside of the frame, and an attachment member connected to said second hanger strip, said attachment member constituting means for fastening the screen and frame to a housing of said cathode ray tube.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The combination of claim 3 wherein said attachment member is a padded cushion which defines a substantially flat lower surface which carries an adhesive for attachment to said housing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
The combination of claim 3 wherein said first hanger strip includes an outer bead, a plurality of indentations formed in said interior channel, said outer bead and indentations constituting means for allowing manually controlled variances in the distance that said first hanger strip extends from said frame.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
74 words
The combination of claim 5 and a second outer bead formed on said first hanger strip opposite said second indentations formed in said frame channel opposed to the first mentioned indentations, said first hanger strip having a slotted end portion to form first and second prongs, said beads connected to said first and second prongs, wherein the prongs may be flexed towards one another as said first hanger strip is inserted into said channel.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
60 words
The combination of claim 5 wherein said frame includes first and second connected frame parts defining an interior channel, each hanger including a rigid one piece angled hanger member fitted in said frame channel and extending upwardly of said frame, and an attachment member connected to each hanger member for fastening the screen and hanger to said cathode ray tube.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The combination of claim 7 wherein said first frame part is formed of electrically conductive material coated with an electrically insulative compound.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
58 words
The combination of claim 7 wherein each hanger includes a bent portion positioned in said channel, said channel of a substantially oval cross sectional configuration whereby said hanger bent portion slides freely in said channel in a first orientation and engages side walls of said channel to secure the hanger to the frame in a second rotated orientation.
