Appeal No. 96-1619
Application 08/263,015
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134
from the examiner’s rejection of claims 22-26, which
constitute all the claims remaining in the application. An
amendment after final rejection was filed on May 4, 1995 and
was entered by the examiner.
The invention pertains to a method for forming a
shield and attaching it to the faceplate of a cathode ray
tube. The shield is formed from a transparent flat plastic
substrate having a thickness between 0.8mm and 1.2mm. The
plastic substrate is coated with a filter. The substrate is
attached to the faceplate of the cathode ray tube which causes
it to bend to substantially conform to the shape of the
faceplate.
Representative claim 22 is reproduced as follows:
22. A method for shielding a cathode ray tube having
a curved faceplate comprising the following steps:
providing a substantially flat transparent plastic
substrate having a thickness between about 0.8mm and 1.2mm,
said plastic substrate being composed of a polycarbonate or
acrylic material which when bent to conform to said curved
faceplate will bend without fracturing and also when bent
remains wrinkle free to preserve its optical properties;
