  • Patent number: 5884947
    Abstract: A control panel door that is pivotally connected to the beznet of a television receiver. The beznet has a pair of radial protrusions which cooperate with a single radial protrusion of the door to secure the control panel door in a closed position. The door is provided with enough lateral movement to allow the single door protrusion to slide past the beznet protrusions when the door is rotated to an open position. The door protrusion and the beznet protrusions also align the control panel door with the beznet when the door is rotated into the closed position.
