Definitions

  • a multi-phosphor patterned screen is usually applied on the inner surface of the substantially cup-shaped tube face panel in a manner to be suitably viewed therethrough.
  • the formed screen is thence processed before the face panel is hermetically joined to the funnel or envelope portion of the tube.
  • the plural cathodoluminescent phosphors, per se, are suitably disposed as multitudinous dots or discrete stripes in accordance with the several established procedures well known to the art.
  • the multi-phosphor screen Prior to the application of the aluminized mirror coating, is precoated or overlaid with a thin film of lacquer to provide a suitable surface upon which to form the mirror.
  • the lacquer serves as a temporary barrier to prevent the aluminum from penetrating and poisoning the phosphor crystals, thereby reducing or destroying the luminescent qualities thereof, during the aluminizing procedure.
  • This lacquer film is subsequently removed by baking whereupon the reflective aluminum remains supported directly by the phosphor screen.
  • the deposition of the lacquer film usually covers the whole of the interior of the face panel, coating not only the screen portion but also the peripheral panel skirt or sidewall area as well.
  • the aluminum coating is conventionally applied by a vaporization technique and usually covers the whole of the interior of the screened panel including the sidewall area. Since the lacquer is removed from the screen area by baking subsequent to aluminizing, it is important to remove all traces of lacquer from the sidewall area, peripheral to the screen, prior to aluminizing as any residual lacquer underlaying the aluminium or the substantially smooth sidewall area prevents adherence of the aluminum to glass, and results in localized blistering of the aluminum coating when said residual lacquer is volatilized from therebetween during the aforementioned subsequent panel bake-out. It is important to have tight adherence of the aluminum coating to the panel sidewall not only to prevent blisters but also to insure electrical continuity of the anode coating covering the interior surface of the tube evelope; of which, the aluminum on the panel sidewall is an integral part.
  • an object of the invention is to reduce the aforementioned disadvantages and to provide improved aluminizing for color cathode ray tube fabrication.
  • Another object is to provide an apparatus for discretely removing an extraneous portion of the lacquer film beyond the screen area of a cathode ray tube face panel to promote the formation of an unblemished film of aluminium over the whole of the interior of the screened panel.
  • a further object is to provide a lacquer coating removal device for removing the lacquer coating from the sidewall portion of the screened face panel.
  • An additional object is to improve the quality of the aluminized color cathode ray tube product and to provide improved efficiency in tube manufacturing.
  • a lacquer removal apparatus whereby the applied lacquer, which forms an underlay over the screen for the subsequent aluminum coating, is removed, while still in the liquid stage, from the skirt or sidewall portion of the panel adjacent the screen area. This is accomplished by utilizing apparatus means to support and rotate the coated panel in an inverted position while at least one tracking means, with an attached nozzle thereon is oriented to perimetrically follow the inner sidewall surface.
  • the nozzle is maintained in substantially equidistant relationship with the sidewall portion, and a substantially constant pressure stream of water issuing from the nozzle forms an impingmen-t pattern on the panel sidewall to flush away the water-insoluble lacquer material from the sidewall portion before film formation thereof materializes.
  • FIGURE 1 is a partial cross-sectional "view of a color cathode ray tube face panel showing the cathodoluminescent screen with the lacquer coating covering the whole of the interior surface of the panel;
  • FIGURE 2 is another partial cross-sectional view of the same panel showing means for discretely removing the lacquer coating from the sidewall portion of the panel;

  • FIGURES 1, 2, and 3 show cross-sectional elevations of a cathode ray tube face panel 11 before attachment to the envelope funnel portion.
  • a cathode ray tube face panel 11 Suitably embedded within the wall of skirt portion 15, and spaced therearound, are a plurality of metallic buttons 17, one of which is shown. The function of these buttons is to properly orient and support a foraminous shadow mask or grid, not shown, which is utilized for both screen formation and subsequent tube operation.
  • the panel which may be round, elliptical, or rectangular in shape, has a substantially transparent viewing portion 13 and a sidewall or skirt portion 15 perimetrical thereto.
  • a patterned cathodoluminescent screen 19 comprising a repetitive plurality of color-emitting phosphors, is suitably disposed in accordance with one of the known techniques of the art.
  • the whole of the interior of the face panel 11 is rinsed with an aqueous wetting solution, not shown, containing a quantity of a selected water soluble organic solvent which lowers the surface tension of the water.
  • aqueous wetting solution not shown, containing a quantity of a selected water soluble organic solvent which lowers the surface tension of the water.
  • This provides uniform wetting of the panel and enables the aqueous solution to more closely follow the horizontal contour of the phosphor screen.
  • the aqueous wetting film being contiguous upon the topography of the screen, forms a thin continuous barrier to prevent lacquer penetration of the phosphor materials comprising the screen and thereby facilitates the deposition of a uniform lacquer coating 21 thereover.
  • a lacquer material formulation suitable for this usage has been found to comprise a solution of acrylic resin solids dissolved in at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting essentially of toluene and xylene with the resin solids therein ranging substantially from 4.6 to 5.0 percent by weight.
  • a suitable plasticizer such as dibutyl phthalate, is added thereto in an amount less than one percent based on the weight of the resin solids.
  • the resultant lacquer solution has a viscosity substantially within the range of 3.8 to 4.4 centistokes at 25 degrees Centigrade. When toluene alone is used as the solvent, lacquer set-up progresses in approximately 45 seconds (at approximately 25 degrees centigrade) to a film formation state.
  • the lacquer material is applied as a coating over the whole of the interior of the panel in accordance with one of the procedures known to the art such as by slurrying or spraying. From a manufacturing consideration, it is desired that the extraneous lacquer coating be removed from the panel sidewall immediatly following lacquer coating application.
  • FIGURE 2 there is shown the apparatus for expeditiously removing the lacquer coating from the panel sidewall in accordance with the invention.
  • the freshly lacquered panel 11 to be subjected to the discrete lacquer removal operation is horizontally oriented and supported with the open face thereof in a downward position by suitable means not shown in FIGURE 2 but subsequently illustrated in FIGURES 4 and 6 and fully described later in this specification.
  • a plurality of liquid-issuing nozzles 23, one of which is shown, are oriented in a predetermined horizontal plane in a manner to maintain a substantially equidistant relationship with the skirt or sidewall portion 15 of the panel 11.
  • the stream of liquid 27 issuing from the nozzle impinges upon the sidewall with desired constancy in a circumferential or perimetrical sweeping motion.
  • the stream of liquid 27 is water, free from contaminating inclusions, although the invention is not intended to be limited to such as other compatible solvents may also be utilized.
  • the noz- Zle 23 has a longitudinal axis 29 extended therethrough and sequentially maintained in a pivoted manner to effect substantially right angle relationship with a progressive line 33 tangential to the inner perimeter of the sidewall 15.
  • a substantially constant distance and a substantially consistent angular orientation are coupled with a water supply of constant pressure that is free of cavitations and gaseous inclusions.
  • This terminal formation of water has a substantially constant area configuration in keeping with the inner con tour of the panel perimeter whether it be substantially straight or arcuate, to provide a substantially consistent pattern of impingement thereon and effect a discretely formed peripheral trimming edge of water having a vertical apex 39 oriented to substantially follow the border 41 of said lacquer coated screen.
  • the perimetric contour of the panel is other than arcuate, as for example, a panel of substantially rectangular shape 43 with substantially arcuately formed corners 45, as illustrated in FIGURE 9, it is important that the pattern of water impingement and the trimming edge thereof exhibit uniformity regardless of the differential perimetric contour to prevent the trimming water from climbing the corners of the panel.
  • This uniformity of the liquid trimming pattern is achieved by predetermining the area of water impingement according to the most acute curvature of the perimeter in conjunction with the panel tracking means 49 fully described later in this specification.
  • the volume of the stream of water is sufiicient to completely flush the extraneous lacquer coating from the panel sidewall before the inception of lacquer film formation.
  • the cathode ray tube face panel 11 is ready for aluminizing, wherein the cathodoluminescent screen portion is covered with a film of lacquer 21 from which the extra lacquer beyond the perimeter thereof has been water trimmed and flush removed to provide a lacquer-free sidewall surface.
  • FIGURES 4, 5, and 6 there is shown mechanical means, in the form of apparatus 48, which expeditiously accomplishes the desired removal of the extraneous lacquer from the panel sidewall.
  • this lacquer removal apparatus 48 comprises a panel accommodation stage 51, which is circular in shape with a large central opening 53 therein.
  • This stage is horizontally positioned and adequately supported around its peripheral region between vertically oriented pairs of stage rollers 55 contacting the upper and lower surfaces thereof. At least three pairs of these rollers are utilized in substantially equispatial relationship therearound, each pair being located on a suitable bracket 57 and affixed to the top portion 59 of a horizontal base platform 61.
  • the lateral placement of the stage is achieved and maintained by employing at least three spaced apart confining rollers 63 positioned to make circumferential contact with the circular stage. These confining rollers are mounted in a horizontal rotatable manner atop vertical holders 65 also oriented on the top of the base platform 61.
  • the periphery 50 of the circular stage 51 is formed to cooperate with an associated drive or motion imparting means 67. As shown, the periphery is substantially channel-shaped to receive linear motion transmission from a belt or chain-type linkage 69 which imparts desired rotation to the stage from a power transfer medium, such as a drive gear or pulley 71, for a predetermined period of time to be later explained.
  • a power transfer medium such as a drive gear or pulley 71
  • the aforementioned central opening 53 in the panel accommodation stage 51 is diametrically larger than the largest dimension of the cathode ray tube face panel 11 to be positioned therein.
  • the lacquer coated face panel 11 is oriented open face down within the above-mentioned central opening 53. It is temporarily held therein in proper horizontal placement by the panel edge 18 resting on the forward portions 77 of at least three spaced-apart panel rests 79. These, being pivoted means formed for vertical movement, are afiixed to the top portion 59 of the base platform 61 and extended in a plane substantially parallel therewith toward the panel accommodation stage 51 thereabove.
  • the forward portions 77 are substantially covered with plastic sleeves, as of polyethylene material, to provide resilient cushioning for the edge of the panel.
  • the fulcrum or pivot 81 permits the forward portion 77 of the panel rest 79 to subsequently drop, at a predetermined time when the panel is otherwise retained by retention means to be described, to a slightly lower position in accordance with programmed actuation accorded to the rear portion 83 of the panel rest.
  • An adjustable stop 85 in conjunction with a vertical resilient means 87, such as a helical spring, and a vertical pressure means 89, in the form of an air cylinder having a plunger 91 of restricted stroke, imparts predetermined vertical movement to the forward portion 77, the sequence of which will be later explained.
  • the retention of its horizontal position is facilitated by at least three panel retainers of two types 93 and 95, spaced apart to make external tri-point peripheral contact'with the external sidewall portion of the panel.
  • Each of the two retainers 93, with the respective body portions 97 affixed to the panel accommodation stage 51, has a panel contact pad 99 of substantially non-resilient plastic material formed and placed to fit the panel external periphery.
  • the third panel retainer 95 which completes the triangulated retention arrangement, is likewise affixed to the accommodation stage.
  • This retainer is manually operated by lever 101 and has a resilient contact pad 103 as of rubber or compressible plastic.
  • the panel 11 is securely positioned in an undistorted manner by the three retainers.
  • the panel and the accommodation stage are oriented with a vertical axis 104 common to both.
  • Coating removal means 105 quiescently positioned to be within the confines of the inverted panel on a plane substantially parallel with the top of the base platform 61 is actuated to begin the tracking portion thereof in contact with a predetermined portion of the inner sidewall surface of the revolving panel.
  • This consistent contact relationship with the moving sidewall is made by at least one panel tracking means 49 terminally affixed to the inner end of a hollow tube 107 which is arcuately movable in a horizontal plane about pivot means 109 located on the top of base platform 61; the pivot means having height adjustment provisions 110 to effect adaptability to the apparatus.
  • the plunger thrust imparts, to the lacquer removal apparatus, horizontal movement in the direction of the axis 104 and removes the panel tracking means 49 from contact with the panel sidewall 15, this being the position of the coating removal means 105 during the aforementioned quiescent state wherein panel loading and unloading is accomplished.
  • Reciprocal movement to bring the tracking means in contact with the inner surface of the panel sidewall is imparted by horizontal resilient means 117, in the form of a tensioned spring, which has one end attached to tube 107 at connection 119 in opposition to a point of affixture 121 on base platform 61.
  • the flushing liquid 27 is supplied to the nozzle 23, from a source not shown, through a flexible conduit 123, thence through the hollow tube 107 and its connecting hose 125.
  • the inner extremity of the tube 107, distal to pivot means 109, is closed by the jointure 127 with the vertical support post 129.
  • Tracking means frame 131 has a slotted opening 133 to receive support post 129 which is secured therein by set screw 135.

  • the distance between the nozzle 23 and the inner surface 16 of sidewall 15 is kept substantially constant during panel rotation in order to provide a con sistant terminal formation of flushing water upon impingement with the sidewall.
  • the axes spread or center distance B is determined by the diameter of the rollers and the inner curvature of the panel sidewall.
  • the stance of the two-point roller contact is not critical as the uniform curvature of the panel 11 facilitates a constant nozzle-sidewall distance relationship to effect a consistent water impingement pattern on the panel sidewall during the circumferential progression thereof.
  • the stance of the two-point contact of the tracking rollers must be such as to maintain substantially the same nozzle-sidewall distance relationship at the arcuate corners 45 as on the straightaway portions 47 and 47. Such is accomplished by selecting a roller center distance that will correctly track the corners; the tracking rollers having diameters in accordance therewith.
