Patent number: 5223769Abstract: A scan velocity modulation (SVM) coil arrangement for a cathode ray tube has SVM coils arranged on a rear portion of the main horizontal deflection coils. The main horizontal coils are of the saddle type and have flat end turns at the rear of the deflection coil, lying along the surface of the picture tube. The SVM coil is placed over the flat rear end turns forward of the static convergence magnets and forward of ferromagnetic materials associated with the electron gun. The sensitivity of the SVM coil is increased to the point that the coil can be efficiently driven in a progressively scanned raster display, at twice the horizontal rate of an interleaved raster display.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Videocolor S.A.Inventors: Bernard Priere, Jean-Pierre Fourche, Alain Dossot

Patent number: 5185672Abstract: A liner for a deflection yoke assembly for a CRT includes four substantially equally spaced inclined semicircular channel-like mounting studs, arranged about the circumference of a band-like ring about the front of the liner. Threaded sleeves are push mounted upon and ultrasonically welded to an associated mounting stud. Hollow alignment bolts are screwed into each threaded sleeve, and adjustably positioned relative to the cone of a CRT for aligning the yoke to its associated CRT.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1990Date of Patent: February 9, 1993Assignee: Videocolor S.A.Inventors: Jean Rousseau, Claude Richard

Patent number: 5166576Abstract: A deflection coil system for a picture tube has a primary deflection coil and an auxiliary deflection coil. The primary and auxiliary deflection coils are each operable to produce a respective magnetic field having a first polarity within a region defined by the coil and an opposite polarity in a second region. Each of the two coils is arranged such that part of the positive polarity field of each coil and all of its opposite polarity field, are in each case coupled to the other coil. This cancels the effects of cross coupling of the primary and auxiliary deflection coils, which are placed in proximity to each other on the same axis, for example on the neck and envelope of a television display tube. At least one of the primary and auxiliary deflection coils may be a saddle shaped deflection coil and has a flat end turn section, substantially defining the opposite polarity area. The primary and auxiliary deflection coils are overlapped on the tube over at least part of this end turn section.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1991Date of Patent: November 24, 1992Assignee: Videocolor S.A.Inventors: Bruno Roussel, Didier Thibaudin

Patent number: 5121028Abstract: A self converging deflection yoke includes saddle coils having tabs mounted on or, alternatively, spaces formed in the windings. The tabs or spaces are located intermediate a gun end and a screen end of the deflection yoke. The tabs or spaces correct misconvergence at, the 2:30, 4:30, 8:30 and 10:30 hour points of a crosshatch pattern.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1990Date of Patent: June 9, 1992Assignee: Videocolor S.A.Inventor: Marc Milili

Patent number: 5079531Abstract: A deflection yoke arrangement with geometry correction includes horizontal and vertical deflection coils for scanning a raster pattern on a phosphor screen of a cathode ray tube. A support housing suitable for positioning about the neck of the cathode ray tube contains the coils and has a front rim formed with a plurality of slots near the outer periphery. A plurality of brackets formed from magnetically permeable material are located in corresponding ones of the slots. Each bracket comprises two flat end sections joined to opposite sides of a flat central part at substantially right angles thereto. One of the flat end sections of each bracket collects magnetic flux generated by the coils and channels the flux via the central part to the other end section. The plurality of brackets shape the deflection magnetic field in the region about the front rim to provide the geometry correction.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1990Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignee: Videocolor S.A.Inventors: Eric Audoux, Jean-Pierre Fourche, Jean Rousseau

Patent number: 4554589Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a device ensuring the fixation on the neck of a cathode tube of the deflection yoke of the tube. According to the invention, the deflection yoke 3 is fixed after its positioning has been determined between a fixed abutment 9 which may be adjustable in position and an elastic abutment 6 which presses the yoke 3 against the abutment 9. The invention applies especially to tubes adapted to be fitted to color television receiver appliances.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1984Date of Patent: November 19, 1985Assignee: Videocolor S.A.Inventor: Ignazio Cormio

Patent number: 4417698Abstract: The invention refers to a process and a machine making it possible to achieve improved winding of turns of electrical wire on a cathode ray tube deflection ring. According to the invention, the machine includes three axes X, Y, Z with motor means. The winders 12 rotate around axis Z to achieve turns of winding. They are supported by a rotatable column 11 around axis X to the winding plane. The deflecting ring 15 is mounted pivotally around axis X on a fixed support 4. The machine also includes pairing means for controlling electric motor means 5, 14. It is able to perform windings of desired incline without reducing the work speed of the winders 12.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1981Date of Patent: November 29, 1983Assignee: Videocolor S.A.Inventors: Didier Pernet, Francois Pater

Patent number: 4237479Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for generating a blanking voltage for electron guns in cathode ray tubes, as used, for example, in color television displays. Apparatus utilizes circuitry including a video voltage amplifier having a control input. A feedback loop, connected between the junction of the cathode and video voltage amplifier output at one terminal, and the control input at the other, modifies the blanking voltage in response to samples of the cathode current taken when the video signal is zero.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1979Date of Patent: December 2, 1980Assignee: Videocolor S.A.Inventor: Andre Lavigne
