Abstract: A spacing device that, when integrated with a deflection yoke, enables proper alignment of the deflection yoke vis-à-vis the display screen without tilting. Several individual spacers are placed between the windings in cavities that accommodate the spacers, and the spacers are composed of an elastic plastic or rubber material that compresses under pressure and expands when the pressure is removed. The spacers allow the deflection yoke to be clamped in place and prevent tilting of the deflection yoke during the clamping process. Once clamped in place, the deflection yoke can be adjusted in the z direction to permit adjustment of the deflection yoke on the cathode ray tube vis-à-vis the glass to provide optimum picture quality (e.g., geometry, color purity, convergence, and focus).
