Abstract: This disclosure depicts and describes unitized electron guns for color television cathode ray tubes, and is particularly addressed to an improved structural design for elongated electrodes of such guns in which undesired internal interaction between adjacent electron beam-forming fields is prevented. This sheet metal electrode design also has the advantage of lending itself to economical manufacture.

Abstract: This disclosure depicts a quick-mount electron gun mounting means for use in a television cathode ray tube. The tube has a neck terminated by a base and includes adjacent to the base an electron gun support plate rigidly supported closely adjacent to the base by lead-in pins. The quick-mount gun mounting means include male-female socket components, with said gun having one socket component including means embedded in at least one of said beads, the plate having means defining the other socket component. The socket components provide for facile and secure plugging together of the gun and the base. The combination includes electrically conductive means connected between at least one of the lead-in pins and one of the gun electrodes. The male-female socket components provide also for the facile and secure plugging together of electrically conductive paths to transmit electrical voltages or currents between the lead-in pins and the gun electrodes.

Abstract: For unitized, in-line electron guns for television color cathode ray tubes, an improved method for mounting the convergence cup is depicted and described. The method facilitates production assembly and provides accurate alignment of the convergence cup with respect to the main gun assembly.
