Definitions

  • This invention relates to a socket of a cathode-ray tube (hereinafter referred to as "CRT socket”) used specifi­cally in a color television receiver.
  • CRT socket a cathode-ray tube
  • a color television receiver it is necessary for a color television receiver to alleviate aberration of an electric lens in a cathode-­ray tube so as to improve the picture quality of the television receiver.
  • the latest color television receivers have a tendency of rather increasing focusing voltage.
  • ordinary cathode-ray tubes generally have stem pins (electrode terminals) which are disposed circularly around a venting stem portion so that the electrodes other than an anode electrode can be applied with electric voltage from contacts of the CRT socket through the stem pins.
  • stem pins electrode terminals
  • the CRT sockets have been susceptible to dielectric breakdown between a focusing contact and the adjacent contact during service.
  • the breakdown between the focusing contact and the adjacent contacts is caused by electric discharge or surface leak of an electric current flowing through the contacts. Specifically in a case of using the CRT socket which is moulded of insulation material such as synthetic resin, electric surface leak is apt to occur.
  • a tube neck portion 1 of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) has a focusing stem pin 2 and some other stem pins 3 which protrude from the end surface of the neck portion 1 and are arranged circularly around a venting stem portion 1a.
  • a terminal support base 4 is fitted so as to permit the stem pins 2, 3 to be retained in the state penetrating the support base 4 as shown in Figure 1(A).
  • the terminal support base 4 and the neck portion 1 are adhered to each other with insulation bonding agent 6 of synthetic resin or the like as shown in Figure 1(C).
  • the terminal support base 4 has an insulation barrier means 5 formed in a hollow shape so as to encircle the focusing stem pin 2.
  • the CRT socket has a cylindrical centre hole 11 passing from the upper surface through to the lower surface of a socket body 10 as shown in Figures 1(B) and 1(C).
  • a focusing contact hole 12 and other contact holes 13 Around the centre hole 11 there are bored a focusing contact hole 12 and other contact holes 13. That is, the focusing contact hole 12 accommodates the focusing contact 14 having a lead terminal 14a.
  • This lead terminal 14a extends toward the upper right in Figure 1(C) so that it can be electrically connected to an external lead wire in an insulation barrier frame 15.
  • contacts 16 each having a lead terminal 16a which is arranged along the lower surface of the socket body 10 so that the leading end of the lead terminal 16a can be soldered to a printed wiring line on a printed circuit board 17.
  • a barrier fitting groove 18 for tightly receiving the insulation barrier means 5 formed on the aforesaid terminal support base 4.
  • the CRT socket thus constructed entails a disadvantage in that it becomes too large in height to attain miniaturization of a television receiver.
  • the present invention was made in view of the drawbacks of past CRTs described above and has an object to provide a socket of a cathode-ray tube having a highly reliable structure capable of preventing electric surface leak and dielectric breakdown between a focusing contact and an adjacent contact and soaking of moisture in the air or water produced due to dew condensation into a socket body.
  • a socket of a cathode-ray tube comprising a socket body having a cylindrical centre hole passing from the upper surface through to the lower surface of the socket body, a focusing contact hole and other contact holes which are coaxially formed around the centre hole, and a barrier fitting groove formed encircling the focusing contact hole so as to detachably receive an insulation barrier means so as to protect electrically a focusing contact, which socket is characterized in that the socket body is provided between the barrier fitting groove and the respective contact holes adjacent to the focusing contact hole with through slits open to the centre hole.
  • the through slit formed in the socket body serves as an air vent hole so as to prevent dew condensation in the socket and dielectric breakdown which is probably brought about between a focusing contact and the other contacts due to the dew condensation.
  • Figure 1(A) is an exploded perspective view showing a tube neck portion and a terminal support base used in an ordinary cathode-ray tube
  • Figure 1(B) is a perspective view of one example of a conventional socket
  • Figure 1(C) is a sectional side view showing the manner in which the socket of Figure 1(B)is used
  • Figure 1(D) is a partially sectioned, enlarged perspective view of the same
  • Figures 2(A), 2(B), 3 and 4 are explanatory diagrams of other prior art sockets
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the CRT socket, viewed from the top, according to this invention
  • Figure 6 is a bottom view of the same
  • Figure 7 is a partial section view of the socket taken along the line VII-VII in Figure 6
  • Figure 8 is a partially sectioned, enlarged perspective view of the same
  • Figure 9 is a partially sectioned, enlarged perspective view of another embodiment of the invention.
  • reference numeral 20 denotes a socket body of the CRT socket.
  • the socket body 20 has a cylindrical centre hole 21, and a focusing contact hole 22 and other contact holes 23 which are coaxially arranged around the centre hole 21.
  • a focusing contact 24 is inserted from the upper side of the socket body 20 in Figure 5.
  • a lead terminal 24a extending from the lower part of the focusing contact 24 is laid across the bottom surface of the barrier fitting groove 28 and connected to an external lead wire in an insulation cover 25.
  • contacts 26 are inserted from the lower side of the socket body 20.
  • Lead terminals 26a extending downward from the respective contacts 26 are radially introduced outwardly along the lower surface of the socket body 20.
  • Each leading end portion of the lead terminals 26a is bent at a right angle and pierces through a printed circuit board 27. Then, the leading end of the lead terminal 26a is soldered to a printed wiring line on the lower surface of the printed circuit board 27.
  • the barrier fitting groove 28 is separated from the adjacent contact holes 23 at a distance to the extent that one contact hole can be formed on either side of the barrier fitting groove 28.
  • the socket body 10 there are made hollows 32 which open downwards to save raw materials such as synthetic resin required for moulding the CRT socket.
  • a through slit 33 In the space between the barrier fitting groove 28 and the adjacent contact hole 23 there is formed a through slit 33 through which the hollow 32 is open upward and communicates to the centre hole 21.
  • the through slit 33 is defined among the upper surface of the socket body 20, the inner circumferential wall of the centre hole 21 and the defining surface of the hollow 32.
  • a through slit 33 is formed on either side of the focusing contact hole 22.
  • the through slit 33 functions as a ventilating path for allowing air to pass, thereby preventing dew condensation in the socket.
  • the CRT socket described above may be modified as shown in Figure 9.
  • a dent 29b is formed close to the through slit 33 in the upper surface portion of the socket body 20. Since other elements are identical to the previously described embodiment, like elements are given like reference numerals.
  • the CRT socket of this invention is provided with the through slit which pierces through from the upper surface to the lower surface of the socket body and is open to the cylindrical centre hole in the socket body, whereby the surface conduction routes extending along the surface of the socket body from the focusing contact to the adjacent contacts become sufficiently longer.
  • this invention can provide a highly reliable socket of a cathode-ray tube capable of preventing electric surface leak and dielectric breakdown between the focusing contact and the adjacent contact even if remarkably high voltage is supplied to the focusing electrode of the cathode-ray tube.
  • the through slit formed in the socket body functions as a ventilating path for allowing air to pass, dew condensation in the socket can be prevented.
