  • This invention relates to a method of assembling a shadow mask with a frame assembly for mounting in a cathode-ray tube and particularly in a rectangular color-television picture tube using a remote assembly position.
  • Shadow-mask-type picture tubes for color-television receivers include a curved faceplate panel having, on its inner surface, a mosaic viewing screen of differently emissive phosphor dots and an electron gun structure to project plural electron beams towards the screen.
  • a domed shadow mask is nested in the faceplate panel with a prescribed spacing from center to edge such as described in US. Pat. No. 3,109,116 to D. W. Epstein et al. In the operation of the tube, the electron beams pass through apertures in the mask to selectively excite the phosphor dots.
  • a plurality of spacers is positioned to contact the inner contour of the panel, a frame with a mask loosely fitted thereon is located in the panel on frame-positioning means with the mask in plural contact with the spacers. Pressure is applied to seat the mask against the spacers to conform the mask contour more closely to that of the panel. Then, with the pressure still applied, the mask is attached to the frame at a plurality of separated perimetric areas. Then, the pressure is removed, and the spacers are removed.
  • a disadvantage of this method is that the frame assembly must be directly oriented in the panel since mechanical spacers must contact the panel and the mask.
  • the mechanical spacers are of a fixed length. This necessitates that a predetermined spacing between the panel and mask be used since the fixed-length spacers do not permit optimized matching of mask and panel contours.
  • the use of fixedlength spacers in which the mask is pressed into contact with the spacers also presses the spacers against the panel. This may cause scuffs or scratches in the glass panel.
  • the direct orientation of mask and panel with the mask-frame assembly positioned within the panel and oriented on frame-positioning means provides a limited amount of space between the inside of the panel sidewall and the attachment points of the mask to the frame, resulting in the necessity for specialized welding equipment. Welding the mask to the frame in the panel also may cause weld splash, which may damage the panel.
  • the mask and frame assembly are positioned one above the other with long spacers between the mask and the panel.
  • Mechanical linkage is used to relate the frame-positioning means to its actual position when oriented in the panel.
  • the use of mechanical linkage may result in decreased accuracy in assembling the mask to the frame.
  • the spacers are positioned between the mask and the panel near the corners and at the center of the panel. After the mask is attached to the frame and the pressure is removed, the mask may maintain the conformed shape near the corners since it is attached near the corners, but it may not maintain the conformed shape near the center where the domed shape of the mask may have a tendency to spring back to its former shape. Therefore the use of fixed spacers may not result in a desired custom-spaced mask-panel assembly. In addition, provisions are not included to optimize the spacing between the center and the corners of the panel or to select a specific spacing at the center of the panel which may be desirable to utilize all masks and panels provided.
  • the novel method includes locating three framepositioning points on a faceplate panel and measuring the panel contour at at least four spaced points on a circle of given radius at a first spacing with respect to the frame-positioning points. Then, at a remote location, (a) orienting a frame assembly on three reconstructed frame-positioning points in substantially the same geometric relationship with respect to one another as the frame-positioning points on the faceplate panel, (b) a signal is generated related to the position of the measured contour of the panel, and (c) the signal is utilized to position four mask supports in substantially the same geometric relationship with respect to one another as the measured contour points but at a second spacing with respect to the reconstructed frame-positioning points. Then, the contour of the mask is conformed to the contour established by the mask supports and the mask is permanently attached to the frame while the mask is conformed to the contour of the mask supports.
  • the novel method permits custom assembly of a mask and frame in a position displaced from the panel without the use of mechanical spacers between the panel and the mask. This permits orienting the panel and measuring the panel contour in a first position, and then assembling a mask and frame, custom tailored to that panel, in a second position remote and at any desired distance from the first position. Also, since mechanical linkage is not used between the first and second position, it is not necessary to maintain any direct orientation between these positions. The elimination of the mechanical linkage permits remote assembly of the mask-frame assembly and provides for increased accuracy between the assembly and measured positions. Since the novel method does not press spacers against the panel and instead uses a nontouch sensing means to measure the contour of the panel, scratching of the glass panel is substantially reduced. Remote assembly of the mask and frame also permits easier and more economical attachment of the mask to the frame and eliminates weld splashing into the panel. Specialized welding equipment to fit into the limited space between the panel sidewall and the mask is not necessary, resulting in further economy.
  • a more specific form of the novel method includes also measuring the contour of the panel substantially at the center of the panel, measuring the contour of the mask substantially at the center of the mask and adjusting the second spacing to obtain a desired center spacing between the mask and the inner surface of the panel when the mask is mounted on the panel and conformed to the contour established by the mask supports.
  • This form of the novel method may be used to provide an optimum spacing between the mask and the panel for masks which cannot be sufficiently distorted to conform to an exact spacing. This results in an economy in the use of masks and panels which may not otherwise be utilized.
  • this method provides for setting any desired spacing between the mask and the panel at the center of the panel to include setting an exact center spacing. This results in a more uniform viewed image in the finished tube.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a color-television-picturetube panel assembly illustrating the preferred points for measurement of spacing.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the panel assembly of FIG. 1, on section line 22, illustrating the spacing between the faceplate and the masking member.
