Patent number: 5990610Abstract: This invention secures the breakdown voltage between stem pins or the like for high voltage service in a cathode ray tube. This insulator is formed of a clay-like silicone compound having a tip-throughhole and pin-throughholes or a stem base with the electric insulator mounted to the stem base. An inter-stem electric insulation device is structured by mounting either one of the electric insulator or the stem base with the electric insulator to the stem of a cathode ray tube and by pressing to fix together. This structure does not allow bubble generation caused by the electric insulator, and makes the handling easy, and furthermore, allows an automatic mounting of the electric insulator to a stem.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1994Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Shigeo Matsumoto, Takashi Setsuda, Haruo Ito, Kazuyuki Ota

Patent number: 5077450Abstract: A high-voltage test terminal for interconnection between high-voltage power lines and the bushing stud member of a transformer or reactor. An insulator component of the terminal is placed in compression rather than tension, the terminal having a substantially reduced moment arm to withstand angular forces which are created upon interconnection between the power lines and the stud member. Metallic end fittings for the insulator serve to maintain the insulator in permanent compression and provide ready disconnection of the bus bars of the terminal for determination of induced electrical currents such as by Doble testing. The insulator is mounted horizontally between the end fittings and between the power lines in substantially parallel and horizontal alignment therewith, and eliminates the torsional stresses which have been generated previously with upright post-type insulators.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1990Date of Patent: December 31, 1991Inventor: Masoud Rafiee
