A frame surrounding the screen is detachably fastened to the front casing independently of the rear casing. The frame includes tabs capable of being manually handled in order to separate the frame from the front casing.

Claims (10)

1. A device for displaying an image comprising a front casing on which a screen and a rear casing are mounted, a frame surrounding the screen being detachably fastened to the front casing independently of the rear casing, the frame comprising means capable of being handled manually in order to separate the frame from the front casing wherein:

the frame comprises at least one vertical wall capable of coming into contact with a vertical short wall of the front casing parallel to the vertical wall, wherein the vertical wall carries at least one vertical tab perpendicular to the vertical wall and capable of coming into contact with the free end of the vertical short wall and wherein the vertical wall arises from an edge which carries a rib capable of cooperating with a groove on the front casing.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , in which the at least one vertical tab extends over more than 30 mm.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , in which the frame comprises at least one horizontal wall capable of coming into contact with a horizontal short wall of the front casing.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , in which the frame and the front casing comprise relative positioning means.

5.
