Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cathode ray devices, such as cathode ray tubes, monoscopes and electron pickup tubes as used in television, in ywhich the cathode ray beam is focussed and deflected by electromagnetic means, such as by coils disposed around theI neck ofthe tube.
  • the-deiiecting coils and/or the 'gcathode ray gun may introduce astigmatism by distorting the electron beam
  • the present invention has for its object to provide additional means which introduce astigmatism of the cathode ray beam to compensate for the astigmatism produced by the deflecting coils and/or the cathode ray gun.
  • two magnetic members are disposed at diametrcally opposite positions with respect to the axis of the cathode ray gun and between the focussing coil and the gun.
  • the magnetic members are carried by a non-magnetic framework or ring which is adjustable both rotatably and longitudinally.
  • Fig. 1 shows a plan View, partly cut away, of a cathode ray tube incorporating the compensating device according to this invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the compensating device.
  • the neck portion of the cathode ray tube I having the electron gun 2 disposed at its end is surrounded by the focussing coil 3 and deflecting coils 4 in known manner.
  • two soft iron pins 5 and 6 are supported at diametrically opposite points of the neck of the tube and between the focussing coil 3 and the gun 2 by means of a ring 1 of non-magnetic material.
  • the ring 1 is constructed in the form of a tubular member which is provided with a longitudinal slit 8 to impart slight resiliency to this member and allow it to bear with friction upon the outer surface of the neck portion of the cathode ray tube.
  • a collar 8 which preferably has a knurled peripheral edge, by means of which the tubular member and the two soft iron pins carried thereby can be adjusted longitudinally along the neck of the tube and rotatably therearound.
  • the iron pins 5 and 6 are disposed with their axes extending in the direction of the 1ongitudinal axis of the tube.
  • astigmatism By adjusting the position of the iron pins, both longitudinally and rotatably with respect to the focussing coil, astigmatism can be introduced 6 Claims. (Cl. Z50-157) into the focussing which is such that it compensates vfor the astigmatism caused by deflecting coil de-focussing and/or by the cathode ray gun.
  • the compensating device is adjusted with the 'scanning voltages applied on the deflecting coils to produce the sharpest definition of the electron beam;
  • a cathode ray device comprising an evacuated envelope having a neck portion containing an electron gun, magnetic focussing means and electro-magnetic deflecting coils surrounding said neck portion, a non-magnetic member adjustable longitudinally with respect to the axis of the gun, two magnetisable members mounted on said non-magnetic member in diametrically opposed portions with respect to the axis of the gun, said magnetisable members being disposed in the magnetic field of the focussing means for magnetisas tion thereby.
  • a cathode ray device comprising an evacuated envelope having a neck portion containing an electron gun, magnetic focussing means and electro-magnetic deflecting coils surrounding said neck portion, a non-magnetic member adjustable both rotatably and longitudinally with respect to the axis of the gun, two magnetisable members mounted on said non-magnetic member in diametrically opposed positions with respect to the axis of the gun, said magnetisable members being disposed in the magnetic eld of the focussing mea-ns for magnetisation thereby.

  • a cathode ray device comprising an evacuated envelope having a neck portion containing an electron gun, magnetic focussing means and electro-magnetic deflecting coils surrounding said neck portion, a split tubular member of non- 3 magnetic iaterial adjustable at least longitudinally with respectI to the axis of the gun, tWo soft iron pins disposed with their axes extending in the direction of the axis of the gun mounted on said non-magnetic member in diametrically opposed positions with respect to the axis of the gun, said magnetisable members rbeing disposed in the magnetic field of the focussing means vfor magnetisation thereby, the intensity of magnetisation being adjustable by longitudinal movement of the non-magnetic member relatively to the focussing means.
  • a cathode ray device comprising an evacuated envelope having a neck ,portion containing an electron gun, magnetic focussing means and electro-magnetic deecting coils surrounding said neck portion, a split tubular member of non-magnetic material having a collar to facilitate-manual adjustment of the non-magnetic member .bothrotatably and longitudinally with respect to the axis of the gun, two soft iron pins disposed with their axes extending in the direction of the ⁇ axis of the gun mounted on said non-magnetic member .in diametrically opposed positions with respect to lthe axis of the gun, said magnetisable members being disposed in the magnetic field of the focussing means for magnetisation thereby, the intensity of magnetisation being adjustable bylongitudinalmovement of the non-magnetic member relatively to the focussing means.
