Industrial terminal with elastic bumpers

Claim 1

A terminal for housing electronic circuitry and a cathode ray tube display, the combination comprising; a bezel which defines an opening through which the cathode ray tube is viewed and which has an outer periphery that completely encircles said opening; back means spaced from the bezel to define a cavity between them in which the cathode ray tube and electronic circuitry are contained, said back means having an outer periphery; cover means which extends between the bezel and the back means and which encloses the cavity therebetween; a forward bumper formed of a resilient material, said forward bumper being fastened to said bezel and being positioned to extend completely around its periphery; and a rear bumper formed of a resilient material, said rear bumper being fastened to said back means and being positioned to extend completely around its periphery, wherein the forward and rear bumpers provide resilient support for the terminal which spaces the cover means from a surface upon which the terminal may rest, in which the forward bumper is fastened to the bezel by a mortise and tenon joint comprised of a tenon formed around the periphery of the bezel and a mortise formed on the underside of the forward bumper, and in which the rear bumper is fastened to the back means by a mortise and tenon joint comprised of a second tenon formed around the periphery of the back means and a second mortise formed on the underside of the rear bumper.
