Abstract:
A front case for a cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitor, said front case having an exterior surface, an interior surface, a CRT seating surface adapted to seat a CRT, and an edge located between the interior surface and the CRT seating surface, said front case comprising:a gate landing formed on said CRT seating surface of said front case at a position around a gate flash remaining on the case due to a gate of an injection mold used in an injection molding process of the case, said gate flash located at said edge of said front case and thereby located between the CRT seating surface and the interior surface, said gate landing depressed to a depth suitable for fully recessing the gate flash and avoiding an interference between the gate flash and a cathode ray tube; whereby uniformity of said CRT seating surface is preserved without annular rings being formed on the exterior surface of the front case and without thinning of the CRT seating surface opposite the gate landing, thereby facilitating a uniform, tight, dustproof fit of the front case against the CRT without interference by gate flashing or distortion by the gate landing.
