(54) A membrane switch assembly for cathode ray tubes and mounting thereof


(57) A transparent membrane switch assembly (10) and mounting means (118) for mounting the assembly (10) to a cathode ray tube (CRT) (68) are disclosed. The assembly (10, 10') is comprised of two layers (12, 16) of transparent film having spaced-apart parallel double fineline conductors (20) deposited on the internal surfaces (14, 18) of both layers (12, 16). The mounting means (118) comprise extension (114) protruding from the perimeter (116) of at least one of the layers of film, and a patch of a coupled fastening assembly (120) attached to each extension (114). Each fastening assembly comprises two separable parts, an outer surface (124) of one part being attachable to a side surface of a CRT when the switch assembly is registered with the CRT face.
