The invention relates to improved combination means for effecting an electrical connection in a cathode ray tube between an internal magnetic shield and a conductive coating disposed on the interior surface of the funnel portion of the tube envelope. The longitudinal connector employs a configurated clip-type attachment element which securely mates with a fluting formed on the shield to provide a rapidly achieved secure attachment.

In a color television display tube the electron gun system constructed from three electron guns comprises a first group of corresponding electrodes and a second group of corresponding electrodes to be operated at a higher electrical potential than the first group. The electrodes in each group are positioned relative to each other by means of metal braces connected thereto. The ends of the braces are secured to insulating support rods. At least one group of corresponding electrodes is interconnec...

An electron gun for a camera tube includes an anode and a cathode. The cathode is assembled in a cathode support which can very readily be adjusted relative to the anode in the nonconnected condition. In particular, the cathode support and the anode are movable radially with respect to each other and with respect to an axis. An emissive cathode surface and a part of the anode extending perpendicular to the axis remain accurately parallel to each other during the radial movement. As a result of t...

A free-flowing, hydrophobic starch composition has a near-neutral dry product pH. Methods for making the hydrophobic starch composition by preparing an aqueous mixture comprising a starch, a siliconate, and an acid, where the aqueous mixture has a near-neutral pH, and drying the starch solids to obtain a hydrophobic starch. Novel fuel compositions comprise hydrophobic starch which can be used in internal combustion engines, such as diesel engines. Hydrophobic starch compositions may be used as f...

Cathode structure for cathode ray tube comprising an eyelet in two separate parts positioned such that one of the parts covers, in the longitudinal direction and at least partially, the second part. The two parts are linked to each other at the shouldered ends.This structure reduces the heat losses of the cathode and reduces its consumption while it is operating.

An electron gun assembly includes a plurality of cathode assemblies and a plurality of spaced successive electrodes mounted on at least two electrically insulative support rods. At least one of the electrodes comprises a deep-drawn substantially rectangular cup-shaped member having a base portion, a supporting flange portion, including a plurality of attachment tabs, and a sidewall extending therebetween. The sidewall includes a plurality of coined welding areas that provide a substantially flat...

Cathode ray tube having an electron gun positioned in the neck portion, the gun comprising a beam-forming part and a focusing structure and the beam-forming part comprising at least a cathode and a metal electrode plate provided with a central aperture, and the focusing structure comprising a hollow tube of an electrically insulating material with inner and outer surfaces and with a layer of high-ohmic resistive material on at least one of the surfaces. The electrodes of the beam-forming part of...

An electron gun includes an electron beam source and at least two spaced apart successive electrodes. The successive electrodes are individually attached to, spaced from, and disposed concentric with and substantially within a ceramic cylinder. A resistive coating is uniformly disposed on at least an interior wall surface of the ceramic cylinder.

A color cathode-ray tube according to the present invention includes an electron gun, in the neck portion thereof, aligned with the central axis of the neck portion of the cathode-ray tube by support members connected to the rear end portion of the electron gun to be in contact with the inner surface of the neck portion in addition to contactors connected to the front end portion of the electron gun.

A monochrome cathode ray tube incorporates an electron gun featuring a focusing electrode having an upper cup-shaped portion comprising a top cylindrical sidewall portion and a lower inwardly tapering sidewall portion connecting to a flat bottom portion, the cup-shaped portion supported by an elongated cylindrical base portion having a diameter of from about 44 to 48 percent of the diameter of the upper cylindrical portion of the cup. The electron gun is particularly suitable for use in monochro...
