  • Patent number: 4271345
    Abstract: An induction coil heating device is provided to proximately heat an aperture mask support pin in a relatively confined space in the corner of a television panel skirt. A primary coil adapted to receive alternating current power is wound about at least one insulating support member. The primary is loosely wound in a central axial area thereof to provide an annular space, and a secondary coil with a spaced away outrigger output loop inductively coupled to the primary is wound around said support member in the space provided by the primary. The output loop is adapted to receive electrical energy for heating the support pin in response to input energy provided via said primary coil. The output loop is spaced away from the primary and sized so as to be readily insertable in the confined space of the corner of the panel skirt.
