  • Patent number: 4494047
    Abstract: An electron beam convergence device is provided for a cathode ray tube of the type including an electron beam gun for developing three electron beams disposed on the screen in linear array. First and second rods formed of magnetic material and each including a plurality of pole pairs disposed along the rod are tangentially positioned on opposite sides of the neck of the cathode ray tube, with both axial (i.e., linear) and rotatable motion of the first and second rods being permitted with respect to the cathode ray tube. Axial and rotatable motion of the first rod are operable to adjust the left beam without substantial movement of the center and right beams. Axial and rotatable motion of the second rod are operable to adjust the right beam without substantial movement of the left and center beams.
