Mechanism for aligning LCD with frame

Abstract

A mechanism for aligning an LCD with a rectangular frame in a manufacturing process is disclosed. The mechanism comprises alignment means comprising an elongate body, apertures through the body for aligning with the frame, and a flat section perpendicular to the body; a left wing coupled to and perpendicular to the alignment means and comprising a first vertical section on an inner side coupled to the flat section and a first lower recess adjacent the first vertical section and including a first horizontal portion; and a right wing coupled to and perpendicular to the alignment means and comprising a second vertical section on an inner side coupled to the flat section and a second lower recess adjacent the second vertical section and including a second horizontal portion. As such, a precise alignment of the LCD and the frame is made possible for facilitating fastening them together.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A mechanism for aligning a rectangular LCD with a rectangular frame in a manufacturing process, the mechanism comprising: 
 alignment means comprising an elongate body, a plurality of apertures through the body for aligning with the frame, and a flat section perpendicular to a top surface of the body;    a left wing coupled to and perpendicular to a left side of the alignment means and comprising a first vertical section on an inner side coupled to the flat section and a first lower recess adjacent the first vertical section and including a first horizontal portion; and    a right wing coupled to and perpendicular to a right side of the alignment means and comprising a second vertical section on an inner side coupled to the flat section and a second lower recess adjacent the second vertical section and including a second horizontal portion.    
     
     
         2 . The mechanism of  claim 1 , further comprising an elongate groove under the alignment means defined by the left and the right wings, the groove being shaped to mate with a front side of the frame.  
     
     
         3 . The mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein each of the left and the right wings comprises a threaded hole having a diameter slightly larger than that of a screw for permitting the screw to pass through into the LCD and the frame thereunder.
