Abstract
An appliance such as a personal computer is assembled by attaching a monitor to a metal chassis in predetermined positional relationship thereto. Thereafter, an outer housing is installed around the chassis/monitor unit by mounting a front housing portion (bezel) to a rear housing portion. The attaching of the monitor to the chassis is achieved by the use of brackets mounted on respective flanges of the monitor. Each bracket includes a threaded hole aligned with a threaded hole of the chassis. A mounting screw extends through the flange and is threadedly secured in the threaded holes of the chassis and bracket to secure the monitor to the chassis while simultaneously fixing the positional relationship therebetween.
