Heinz Lehner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6744192
    Abstract: A multipole unit normally consists of a support tube, a threaded ring, a plurality of magnetic rings, a plurality of spacer rings and a spring ring. According to the present invention, the structural design of a multipole unit is simplified in that the threaded ring is modified in such a way that the spring ring becomes superfluous. In order to achieve this the threaded ring or a stop arranged on the support tube is provided with spring elements which fulfil the function of the conventional spring ring.

  • Patent number: 6580207
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a deflection unit for mounting on a color cathode ray tube. The deflection unit comprises a coil body for a vertical deflection coil and a first and second means for displacing the coil body into a first and second direction. The first and second directions are offset by 90° and are positioned in parallel with the screen plane of the color cathode ray tube. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the first and second means respectively comprise displacement bow members which can be displaced by means of a screw. The screws are preferably identical. To secure the Z-position, the coil body is preferably slid into a cap and rotated in the stop position.

  • Patent number: 5342009
    Abstract: A holding device for drink containers in particular for installing in vehicles comprises a fastening panel, a tray supported thereto to be retracted or folded-out for receiving the bottom of the drink container as well as a holder, which is at least partially annularly shaped and which is supported above the tray on the fastening panel to pivot between a folded-out position and a retracted position. In its retracted position the holder is covered by the tray like forming a lid. The tray and the holder are connected with each other via at least one connecting lever in such an articulated manner that with the retracting and folded-out movement, respectively, of the tray the holder is automatically movable into its retracted and folded-out position, respectively.

  • Patent number: 5306983
    Abstract: A support device for a deflection unit (10) for a picture tube comprises pins (17) which in a longitudinal direction carry a thread (19) over part of their circumferences. The pins run in guide bores, which are constructed so as to exhibit a recess of not less than the angular circumference of the thread. Each pin is at first so aligned in relation to the associated guide bore that the thread runs in the above-mentioned recess. In this position (after the deflection unit has been aligned), each pin is pushed until it contacts the tube cone (18.K). Then each pin is turned by 90.degree., thus ensuring that the above-mentioned thread cuts into the non-recessed wall of the guide bore. This ensures that each pin is fixed in position, and simultaneously, due to the lead of the thread, a tension is set between deflection unit and tube. The support device thus constructed has the advantage that the tension force between the deflection unit and the tube cone can be set precisely.

  • Patent number: 4946112
    Abstract: A winding apparatus, for winding saddle coils for deflection units of picture tubes, has a wire guide tube that is movable along the contour of the desired windings in three mutually perpendicular planes. A receiving device for the coil form is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. In another embodiment the coil form remains stationary and the wire guide tube has one end angled at 90.degree. and rotatable about its longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 4764705
    Abstract: A deflection yoke is mounted on a picture tube in such a manner that a ring of thermoplastic material is first attached by adhesive bonding to the tube neck and the deflection yoke is then pushed onto the picture tube, so that a tubular extension to the coil form of the deflection yoke overlies the ring. The tubular extension is of the same thermoplastic material as the ring. When the deflection yoke has been adjusted, the thermoplastic ring and the tubular extension are joined together by a welding operation, e.g., by spot welding. The result is a rapidly setting and operationally stable joint between the deflection yoke and the picture tube. To improve adjustability, the ring can have a curved surface.
