Abstract
An implosion-resistant cathode-ray tube has an evacuated envelope with a faceplate which includes a substantially rectangularly-shaped viewing portion that extends to a peripheral sidewall. The sidewall has corners with a given radius of curvature which extends into flattened portions. An implosion protection band extends around the sidewall. At least one mounting lug having a base portion and an upstanding attachment portion cooperates with the implosion protection band. The base portion of each of the mounting lugs includes a shoulder projection which substantially conforms to the given radius of curvature of the corners of the sidewall. The attachment portion of the mounting lug is located along a section of the flattened portion of the sidewall of the faceplate panel.
