  • Patent number: 4785219
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube display device which has an arrangement for mounting a deflection unit on the conical portion of a cathode ray tube envelope. In order to permit a rapid mounting of the deflection unit in a manner which provides shock resistance, and resistance temperature fluctuations in the deflection unit and the envelope, three V-shaped, sheet metal connecting devices connect the deflection unit to the conical portion of the envelope. The free ends of the devices are attached to the deflection unit in such a manner that the vertices of the devices are substantially tangential to the surface of the conical portion. After adjustment of the deflection unit the vertices of the devices are secured to the conical portion in such a manner that the connections are loaded with a shearing force.

  • Patent number: 4766343
    Abstract: A static convergence assembly includes a collar adapted to encircle the neck of a cathode ray tube (CRT). A number of extensions project radially outwardly from the collar along selected radii of the CRT neck and individually carry elongate stems mounted for longitudinal and rotational movement therealong. A permanent magnet, carried at the end of each stem nearest the CRT neck, develops a beam deflecting magnetic field within the CRT. The rotational and longitudinal position of each stem can be adjusted to adjust the orientation and strength of each magnetic field to alter the deflection of each beam as required to achieve static convergence.

  • Patent number: 4283743
    Abstract: A yoke mounting assembly provides easy yoke adjustment along the axial direction of the tube with accurate, fixed positioning in the other two dimensions. An extruded sliding support is movable along projections in a housing frame against the applied normal force of a pair of C-shaped retainer springs, the latter being easily rotated to a release position for yoke or camera tube access.

  • Patent number: 4261017
    Abstract: An electron beam influencing apparatus comprises a deflection yoke which incorporates a kinescope neck-embracing collar which extends from the rear of the yoke. The collar extends over a portion of a slidably mounted sleeve. Permanent magnet neck components are rotationally mounted to the sliding sleeve. The collar and sleeve are formed so that the yoke and collar rotates independently of the sleeve, but longitudinal movement of the yoke and collar will cause longitudinal movement of the sleeve also. A single clamp is used to secure the collar and sleeve to the tube neck. The collar may be attached to a yoke adjustment plate which allows pivotal or transverse yoke motion while maintaining stationary positioning of the adjustment plate.

  • Patent number: 4253077
    Abstract: A deflection adjustment device for a television deflection yoke and kinescope comprises a pair of magnetically permeable tabs adapted for linear movement along the kinescope minor axis. Means are provided for translating the rotary motion of a yoke adjustment machine into the desired linear tab travel. The tabs are moved in equal amounts, either toward or away from the yoke axis, to maintain the tabs equidistant from the yoke axis in order to correct coma errors.

  • Patent number: 4246560
    Abstract: A deflection yoke for use with a picture tube of a television receiver. A vertical deflection coil of the deflection coil has a larger winding angle on an electron gun side thereof than on a screen side thereof. A magnetic material piece is disposed inside the vertical deflection coil so that a vertical deflection magnetic field is formed into a strong barrel magnetic field on the electron gun side. As a result, a raster scanned on a faceplate of the picture tube is free from misconvergence and pincushion distortion. A core of the deflection yoke has sawtooth-shaped end surfaces, or auxiliary rings having sawtooth-shaped end surfaces are disposed on the end surfaces of the core. As a result, a wire of the vertical deflection coil is prevented from slipping on the end surfaces of the core although the wire of the vertical deflection coil is wound at a large winding angle on the electron gun side.

  • Patent number: 4245205
    Abstract: A convergence correction arrangement for a television display system using a deflection yoke mounted coaxially upon the neck of a kinescope includes first and second magnetically permeable tabs contiguous with the beam entrance end of the yoke. The tabs are located on opposite sides of the axis and a fixed separation is maintained between them. A first track constrains the tabs against tangential motion relative to the axis while permitting radial motion. A rotary drive arrangement suited to being engaged by a yoke adjustment machine includes a second track having radial and tangentially-directed components. The second track engages the tabs whereby roatary motion of the rotary drive arrangement drives the convergence-adjusting tabs radially and provides differential motion of the tabs relative to the axis for convergence control.

  • Patent number: 4232283
    Abstract: To provide static convergence correction motion to the outer beam of three in-line electron beams of a color cathode ray tube, a magnetized sphere is located adjacent each outer beam. Each sphere is magnetized across a diameter to produce, for example, a two-pole magnetic field for providing the correction motion. The two-poles are separated along a polar axis. Each sphere is located in a housing which permits rotation of the polar axis of the sphere into alignment with the longitudinal axis of the cathode ray tube and permits rotation of the polar axis out of longitudinal alignment in both horizontal and vertical planes.
