  • Publication number: 20100122991
    Abstract: A device for closing a spout of a flexible container is provided. The device includes a connection tube and a sealable cap having an outer casing member with a lower, outer circumferential surface, an attachment member annularly positioned on a portion of the lower, outer circumferential surface, and an inner casing member having an inner casing sidewall and a bottom disc-shaped occlusion plate defining a cylindrical void space configured to receive a connection tube. The plate can be integrally connected to the inner casing sidewall via a thin-wall section sized to break by the insertion of an insertion edge of the connection tube. The device can also include an overcap sized to mate to the sealable cap.

  • Publication number: 20070126332
    Abstract: The radii of curvature RD, RS and RL along a diagonal axis, a short side and a long side of an outer surface of a useful portion of a panel whose inner surface is provided with a phosphor screen satisfy RD?10 m, RS>RD, and RL>RD. This makes it possible to provide a color picture tube that has an excellent visibility and is not susceptible to the deterioration in color purity due to doming, while including a shadow mask with excellent formability and strength.

  • Publication number: 20070018556
    Abstract: A radius of curvature of an arc passing through three points on an outer surface of a panel, which respectively correspond to a pair of diagonal axis ends on one diagonal axis of a phosphor screen and a center of the phosphor screen, is 10,000 mm or more. A shadow mask is made of an aluminum killed material. Assuming that a thickness of the panel is Td at the diagonal axis end of the phosphor screen, Tmd at an intermediate point between the diagonal axis end and the center, Th at a major axis end of the phosphor screen, and Tmh at an intermediate point between the major axis end and the center, 0.5 ?Tmd/Td?0.62, and 0.65?Tmh/Th?0.80 are satisfied. Because of this, an inexpensive color picture tube can be provided, in which the visibility is excellent, the degradation in color purity caused by doming is suppressed, and the formability of the shadow mask is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 6879095
    Abstract: A deflection yoke on a yoke mounting portion with a truncated pyramid shape has a pair of saddle-type horizontal deflecting coils that is located symmetrically with a central axis and has a truncated pyramid shape. A core with a truncated cone shape is coaxially located on the outer periphery of the horizontal deflecting coils. A pair of vertical deflecting coils are toroidally wound around the core. If the positions of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis are given by 0° and 90°, respectively, in the circumference direction around the central axis, the winding of one vertical deflecting coil has a starting point on the horizontal-axis side within the range of 5°-30° and is distributed from the starting point to 90° and wound symmetrically with the vertical axis. The windings of the vertical deflecting coils are wound symmetrically with the horizontal axis.

  • Patent number: 6798130
    Abstract: A deflection yoke of a cathode ray tube apparatus comprises a pair of saddle-type horizontal deflection coils located symmetrically with respect to a central axis and substantially in the shape of a truncated pyramid. A magnetic core substantially in the shape of a truncated cone is located coaxially around the horizontal deflection coils, and a pair of vertical deflection coils are wound on the magnetic core. A relation between a space vf between a large-diameter end portion of the magnetic core and each of the horizontal deflection coils and a space vr between a small-diameter end portion of the magnetic core and each of the horizontal deflection coils, with respect to the direction of a vertical axis perpendicular to the central axis, is given by vf≧vr.

  • Patent number: 6756726
    Abstract: In a semi-toroidal deflection yoke, a middle point CL(M) of an entire length along a tube axis from a large-diameter portion to a small-diameter portion of a magnetic core lies on a small-diameter portion side of a horizontal deflection coil relative to a point lying at a distance of 0.41×HL along the tube axis from a large-diameter portion of the horizontal deflection coil, where HL is an entire length of the horizontal deflection coil along the tube axis. The deflection yoke deflects electron beams efficiently, reducing the deflection electric power the deflection yoke requires. A cathode ray tube provided with the deflection yoke can suppress pincushion type distortion which may occur in the vertical direction of a screen, and can therefore display images of satisfactory quality.

  • Patent number: 6002203
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes a vacuum envelope having a substantially rectangular panel, a cylindrical neck, and a funnel connecting the panel and the neck. A phosphor screen arranged on the inner surface of the panel generates luminescence upon impingement of electron beams, which are generated by an electron gun assembly disposed in the neck. In order to create a image visible through the panel, a deflection yoke is mounted on the outer surface of the funnel to generate a magnetic field in the funnel, deflect the electron beams, and thereby scan the phosphor screen. According to the present invention, the portion of the funnel over which the deflection yoke is mounted is formed such that the power required to generate a deflection field capable of scanning substantially the entire phosphor screen may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 5929559
    Abstract: A funnel of a cathode ray tube includes a yoke attachment portion on which a deflection yoke is mounted so as to deflect the electron beam emitted from an electron gun along horizontal and vertical axis. At least one cross section of the yoke attachment portion, perpendicular to the tube axis, has an inner contour which is substantially rectangular with four sides. The sides are defined by convexities curved toward the tube axis and each having a peak on the horizontal or vertical axis. The inner contour of the cross section faces the electron beam passage region with a substantially constant gap.

  • Patent number: 5763995
    Abstract: This cathode ray tube includes a vacuum envelope having a substantially rectangular panel, a funnel formed contiguous to the panel, and a cylindrical neck formed contiguous to the small-diameter end portion of the funnel, an electron gun assembly disposed in the neck to generate electron beams, and a deflection yoke mounted on the outer side of the funnel near the neck side over a predetermined range to form a magnetic field in the funnel, thereby deflecting the electron beams along the major and minor axes of the panel. Of the predetermined range of the funnel, at the neck side, the funnel is formed to have an outer shape with a section which is gradually deformed, from the neck side to the panel side, from a circular shape to a non-circular shape having a maximum diameter along a direction other than the major and minor axes. The funnel of the predetermined range is formed to have an outer shape with a section that satisfies a relation:0.3.ltoreq..DELTA.HV/L.ltoreq.0.
