HACKETT ETAL 3,030,536 FACE PLATE FOR SUPPORTING COLOR-CONTROL ELEMENTS IN CATHODE-RAY TUBES Filed April 20, 1956 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 ATTol E United States Patent ()fiice 3,30,536 Patented Apr. 17, 1962 The present invention relates to cathode-ray tubes and more specifically to cathode-ray picture tubes for color television transmission and reception.
The development of color television picture tubes has been hindered by the stringent requirements of precise alignment of internal components, particularly the color producing elements mounted within the face plate portion of the tube. An apertured electrode structure such as a shadow mask or line grid is usually disposed adjacent to the screen to control electron impingement upon phosphors of three primary colors. The electrode structure frequently consists of a heavy frame and bulky clamping mechanism, both of which add to the difliculty of tube assembly and exhaust. The location of the apertured electrode must be carefully controled with respect to the phosphor screen in each individual tube for proper color registry.
An object of this invention is to provide an improved supporting structure for an electron beam deflecting element of a cathode-ray tube for directing and acceler ating the electrons of the beam onto respective color areas of the tube screen.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved face plate containing support means for an electrode element within a cathode-ray tube which support means are radially disposed about the inner periphery of the face plate and formed therein during its fabrica tion.
pecially shaped glass face plate for retaining a colorcontrol electrode element in a cathode-ray tube in readily detachable, aligned position.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved grid support structure formed on the interior surfaces of a glass face plate of a cathode-ray tube, which structure is of simple construction with a design applicable to existing and proposed types of picture tubes.
The specific nature of this invention, as well as other objects and advantages thereof, will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the annexed sheets of drawing, on which by way of preferred example only, are shown two embodiments of this invention.

FIG. 8 is another view similar to FIG. 6 taken along the line 88 of FIG. 5.
FIG. 9 is still another view similar to FIG. 6 taken along the line 9--9 of FIGS.
The present invention pertains to a vathode-ray tube envelope 10 comprised of three parts, namely, a frustoconical shaped funnel 11, neck tubulation 12, and face plate 13. The face plate 13 as illustrated in FIG. 2
consists of a bowl-shaped closure member having a uniformly curved viewing window 15 located in its central area. The viewing window 15 is bounded by an annular flange 14 extending from its concave surface and may -be either round or rectangular in shape, being shown as the latter in FIGS. 2 and 5. The flange 14 terminates at a planar sealing edge 17 which has a contour and dimensions matching those of the large end of the funnel 11 to which it is sealed along the line 16. A screen or target area (not shown), which is composed of phosphorescent materials well-known in the art, is usually located on the inner surface of the viewing window 15. A color-control structure 22 which consists of either a shadow mask or line grid is positioned within the flange 14 adjacent to the tube viewing window 15 in proper alignment withthe tube axis A.
Two recessed grooves 19 are formed on inner opposing surfaces of the flange 14 adjacent and parallel to the viewing window 15 extending throughout the lengthwise inner dimension of rectangular flange 14 as shown in FIG. 2. The recessed grooves 19 consist of V-shaped depressions or notches formed within an internal rib 19a and terminate at two ledge portions 18 located within the shorter sides of the flange 14. The grooves 19 have depth axes which are generally parallel to the tube axis.
Elongated strip members 20 are inserted into each of the V-shaped grooves 19 extending throughout their lengths with the ends of strip members 20 abutted against the ends 18a of the ledge portions 18 to prevent their lateral movement. Thus having all four ends butted against the ledge ends 18a, the two strip members 20 are firmly held in place.
A row of inwardly facing hooks 21 is located in the central area of each strip member 20 extending throughout their length traversing the longitudinal inner dimension of the flange 14. The hooks 21 are thus arranged substantially parallel to the viewing window 15. A continuous series of conductive strands 35 are strung back and forth between the two strip members 20 looped around the hooks 21 to form a grid-type electrode parallel to viewing window 15. The strip members 20 may be simply sprung into place or, if desired, more permanently attached in proper alignment by a cementitious material (not shown) placed within the depths of the grooves 19.
Another modification of this invention consists of a number of lugs 24, 27, 29 and 32 located at spaced-apart intervals around the interior surface of the face plate 13 as shown in FIG. 5. The lugs 24, 27, 29 and 32 are of 3 requirement of structure 22 consists of two spring-like elements 26 and 34attached to its perimeter.
The five lugs, which are shown in FIG. 5, are located on four sides of the face plate13 and may be conveniently molded in the glass at the juncture of viewing window 15 and flange 14 during its formation. Two lugs 27 in the lower corner of the face plate 13, such as shown in FIG. 5, are internally shaped to receive a longitudinal edge of the structure 22 at two points. Both of the lugs 27 have V-shaped notched portions 28 which are equally spaced a prescribed distance from the viewing window 15, such as shown in FIG. 7, and into which the edge of the struc: ture 22 is fitted. The notched portions 28 of the lugs 27 are also dimensionally located withrespect to the central axis of the face plate 13 and thus the tube axis A,
Another lug 32, such as shown in FIG. 9, consists of a single support along one of the shorter, sides of theface plate 13. Lug 32 has a right angled interior surface 33 into which a similarly shaped edge of the structure 22 is inserted. Thus both the two notched portions 28 and. right-angled surface 33 are individually able to restrain movement of the structure 22 in at least two directions.
Another lug 24 which is located along the other shorter side of the face plate 13 also has a right-angled interior surface 25 as shown in FIG. osimilar to lug 32. A resilient element 26 consisting of a spring loading device is attached to the edge of the structure 22 oppositelug24to. be depressed in compression when the structure 22 is properly installed.
Still another lug 29 is positioned along the remaininglongitudinal side of the face plate 13 having a recessed inner surface 31 and an ab'utting' surface 30'perpendi cular to the tube Anothe'r spring-like element 34 of slightly different shape is attached to the 'longitudinaledge of the structure 22 as shown in FIGS.5 and 8 for its firm retention within the lug 29 when held incompression. Both lugs 24 and 29 are adaptable to elastic loading to retain the structure 22 against lugs 27 and 32.
In order to mount the structure 22 normal to the tube axis with its edges substantially equidistant from the.
Dimensionally located as referred to herein pertains to having the grooves 19 or lugs 24, 27, 29 and 32 so located with respect to the tube axis as to facilitate impingement of electrons on proper areas of the screen after passage through the apertured electrode structure.
Additional modifications may be resorted to within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
