Display screen chassis front mounting

Abstract

A wall 16 presents an interior surface 18 extending rearwardly of the front panel. A plurality of tabs 20 extend transversely to the wall 16 . The assembly is characterized by reinforcing flanges 26 extending inwardly about the periphery of the wall 16 to reinforce the wall 16 . A plurality of threaded fasteners 24 extend through the plate 22 of the chassis to engage the tabs 20 to support the chassis on the front panel. The chassis includes a housing extending rearwardly from the plate 22 and which includes a front 34 , a right side 36 , a left side 38 and a bottom tray 40.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A front mounted chassis assembly for a display screen ( 15 ) comprising: 
       a front panel ( 12 ) for being supported on a support structure,  
       a wall ( 16 ) presenting an interior surface ( 18 ) extending rearwardly of said front panel ( 12 ) to present an open periphery,  
       tabs ( 20 ) extending transverse to said wall ( 16 ),  
       a chassis ( 14 ) for supporting a display screen ( 15 ),  
       said chassis including a plate ( 22 ),  
       said display screen ( 15 ) projecting forwardly of said plate ( 22 ),  
       fasteners ( 24 ) extending through said plate ( 22 ) to engage said tabs ( 20 ) to support said chassis ( 14 ) on said front panel ( 12 ) with said display screen ( 15 ) projecting into said open periphery of said wall ( 16 ) to said panel ( 12 ),  
       said assembly characterized by reinforcing flanges ( 26 ) extending transversely to and inwardly about the periphery of said wall ( 16 ) to reinforce said wall ( 16 ).  
     
     
       2. An assembly as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said wall ( 16 ) and said plate ( 22 ) are made of metal. 
     
     
       3. An assembly as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said wall ( 16 ) has four sides to define four corners, one of said tabs ( 20 ) being disposed at each of said corners. 
     
     
       4. An assembly as set forth in  claim 3  wherein each of said tabs ( 20 ) is integral with said flange ( 26 ). 
     
     
       5. An assembly as set forth in  claim 4  wherein said plate ( 22 ) has a four sided periphery to present four corners and said flange ( 26 ) engages said plate ( 22 ). 
     
     
       6. An assembly as set forth in  claim 5  wherein said plate ( 22 ) and said flange ( 26 ) include cut-outs ( 28 ) and ( 30 ) respectively extending therethrough. 
     
     
       7. An assembly as set forth in  claim 5  wherein each of said tabs ( 20 ) includes threads and each of said fasteners ( 24 ) is threaded for threadedly engaging said threads of said tabs ( 20 ). 
     
     
       8. An assembly as set forth in  claim 5  wherein said chassis ( 14 ) includes a housing ( 34 ,  36 ,  38  and  40 ) extending rearwardly from said plate ( 22 ). 
     
     
       9. An assembly as set forth in  claim 8  wherein said front panel ( 12 ) has a larger periphery than said four sided wall ( 16 ). 
     
     
       10. An assembly as set forth in  claim 8  wherein said plate ( 22 ) has a larger periphery than said housing ( 34 ,  36 ,  38  and  40 ) so as to extend radially outwardly of said housing ( 34 ,  36 ,  38  and  40 ). 
     
     
       11. An assembly as set forth in  claim 8  including a fan ( 44 ) supported by said housing ( 34 ,  36 ,  38  and  40 ). 
     
     
       12. An assembly as set forth in  claim 11  wherein said panel ( 12 ) is opaque for viewing said display screen ( 15 ). 
     
     
       13. An assembly as set forth in  claim 12  including a front wall ( 42 ) extending about the periphery of said side walls ( 16 ) and defining an opening therein for viewing said display screen ( 15 ). 
     
     
       14. An assembly as set forth in  claim 13  including at least one circuit board ( 46 ) supported on said housing.
