  • Patent number: 5818159
    Abstract: A deflection yoke for a cathode-ray tube, includes a pair of vertical deflection coils, a pair of horizontal deflection coils and a rigid separator insulating the pairs of deflection coils from each other. The separator has on its surface an arrangement for positioning and holding in place front and rear parts of saddle-shaped deflection coils. The arrangement forms an integral part of a body of the separator and is produced when molding the body.

  • Patent number: 5592045
    Abstract: A yoke separator or liner includes a body having a conical shape and a ring shaped retraining member that is attachable to a rear portion of the body by four pairs of pawls and studs. A beam s velocity modulation coil is installed on a support member made of flexible material using a printed circuit technique. The studs are inserted in orifices formed in the support member. The pawls snap onto the studs and press against the support member in a manner to secure the modulation coil.

  • Patent number: 5557165
    Abstract: A deflection yoke for a cathode ray tube includes a pair of saddle-shaped horizontal deflection coils, a pair of saddle-shaped vertical deflection coils separated from the horizontal deflection coils by a rigid separator. The separator is formed from a funnel-shaped main body and a removable rear ring. The rear ring has an arrangement for locking to the main body and partially covers the back of the vertical deflection coils. Arms are placed around an external periphery of the rear ring that extend towards a core made of magnetic material. The core is placed around the vertical coils. The arms hold the core in place.
