Lindeman, Elmwood Park, and Ernest W. Reinwall, Jr., McHenry, Ill., assignors to Motorola, Inc., Franklin Park, Ill., a corporation of Illinois Filed July 31, 1964, Ser. No. 386,561 3 Claims. (ill. 313-92) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This cone for a color cathode ray tube envelope comprises a one-piece metal shell that has a main body portion in the shape of a pyramidal frustum. An electron gun assembly is mounted in a generally circular opening at the small end .of the body portion. A plurality of side walls define a rectangular opening in the large end of the body portion. The free marginal edges of the side walls are formed into first and second steps to provide inner and outer seating ledges. Three indentations extend from the periphery of a flange portion which cooperates with an extending ledge portion to form the inner seating ledge. The faceplate panel is seated on the inner seating ledge and is indexed to the electron gun assembly by the indentations. A safety panel is set into the outer seating ledge to complete the envelope.
This invention relates generally to cathode ray tubes and more particularly to an improved rectangular metal cone for cathode ray tubes having a composite metal and glass envelope.
The usual cathode ray tube for television receivers includes a large area glass faceplate panel having a fluorescent screen thereon and a relatively small diameter neck containing an electron gun assembly located some distance from the faceplate panel. The faceplate panel and the neck in turn are joined by a cone or funnel of a generally frusto-conical or frusto-pyramidal shape.
Most present day cathode ray tubes that are made on a commercial basis use a glass cone, resulting in a unitary glass envelope. In the instance of black and white tubes the faceplate panel and the cone are joined by the glass manufacturer to form a single structure. However, it has been recognized that a sheet metal cone, with the faceplate panel and the neck sealed to the ends, may be lighter in weight than an all-glass structure of equal size and strength. This is particularly so with larger tubes having a rectangular faceplate panel and wide deflection angles. A metal cone can further offer improved X-ray radiation protection.
There has also been an increasing effort to produce color cathode ray tubes of the aperture mask type having a rectangular viewing screen. The envelope of such tubes requires stringent dimensional tolerances, and the alignment of internal components is more critical than in black and white tubes, adding to the difficulties in fabricating a tube with a glass envelope. An all-glass envelope having a frusto-pyramidal funnel is further susceptible to distortions arising from elevated temperature during processing of the tube and as a result of atmospheric pressure subsequent to evacuation of the tube. Consequently glass of greater thickness and hardness than that usually required for black and white tubes is often used, adding to the size and complexity of color tubes.
In addition, in the usual color cathode ray tube an apertured shadow mask (or a switching grid) must be positioned in close proximity to the fluorescent screen on the inside surface of the faceplate panel. As a result, it is necessary to accurately position and seal the faceplate panel to the wide end of the cone in a separate operation subsequent to mounting of the apertured shadow mask structure rather than providing a unitary glass envelope, as in the instance of black and white cathode ray tubes. In assembling the shadow mask, for example, a frame is provided for the shadow mask, and the frame in turn is secured to mounting studs which have been embedded in the side walls of the faceplate panel prior to sealing to the cone. For these and other reasons the economies that have been achieved in the manufacture of black and white cathode ray tubes by using a unitary glass envelope cannot be realized in the manufacture of color cathode ray tubes, and the attending advantages of a metal cone or funnel becomes more attractive when considered in conjunction with the manufacture of color cathode ray tubes.
For both black and white and color television receivers, but particularly in the instance of color television receivers in which the cathode ray tube is large and the associated circuitry complex, it is desirable to reduce cabinet space and supply simplified mounting for the tube in the cabinet. It is the usual practice, for example, to provide a safety window to protect the viewer from flying glass in the event of an implosion. Also, some provision must be made so that the tube can be firmly mounted in the cabinet, and in the instance of an all-glass envelope, this usually requires a band or strap around the funnel, with suitable brackets or guide wires to urge the faceplate panel of the tube against the bezel in the front of the receiver.
It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide an improved metal cone for cathode ray tube envelopes.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved metal cone particularly suitable for rectangular color cathode ray tubes of the shadow mask type.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved cathode ray tube having a metal cone with provision for the mounting of a safety window on the cone.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of an improved cathode ray tube with a rectangular metal cone and having integral mounting brackets for mounting in the cabinet of a television receiver.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved color cathode ray tube having a metal cone and a simplified aperture mask structure.
Another object of the invention is to provide a metal cone for color cathode ray tube having a seating ledge with indexing points so that the faceplate panel may be accurately positioned and sealed thereto.
Other objects, as well as the features and attending advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a top plane view illustrating the pyramidal frustum metal cone for a cathode ray tube embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view in elevation of the cone, taken along lines 2-2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view in elevation of the cone, taken along lines 3-3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view in elevation of the cone, taken along lines 4-4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged partial section illustrating the manner in which an aperture mask is positioned in the cone;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along lines 6-6 of the cone of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along lines 7-7 of FIG. 6.
According to the present invention there is provided a metal shell :having a main vbody in the shape of a pyramidal frustum. The smaller end of the main body has a circular opening surrounded by a flange that is sealed to a glass chamber containing an electron gun structure. The larger end of the main body is open and includes a side wall defining a substantially rectangular opening. When used in conjunction with a color tube of the shadow mask type, an aperture mask may be secured directly to the side wall. The free marginal edges of the side wall is formed into steps which provide inner and outer seating ledges that are continuous with one another. The inner seating ledge has a smaller periphery than the outer seating ledge. A glass faceplate panel is positioned by and sealed to the inner seating ledge to complete the tube envelope. The outer seating ledge is adapted to receive a safety window to provide protection against implosion. The side walls around the peripheral edge of the inner sealing ledge are provided with several standoff indentations which provide indexing points for the faceplate panel to reduce the effects of the dimensional tolerances which arise in fabricating the metal shell. The four corners of the rectangular configuration defined by the outer sealing ledge also includes outwardly extending ears to thereby provide brackets for mounting the tube to the cabinet of a television receiver.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, the metal cone for cathode ray tube comprises a main body portion 12 in the shape of a pyramidal frustum. The smaller end of body portion 12 has a generally cylindrical opening 13 therein. The flange 14 rims opening 13 and provides an annular surface to which a flared glass neck 16 (shown in assembled condition in FIGS. 2 and 3) is sealed.
The larger end of body portion 12 includes a side wall (or an intermediate portion) 20 to define a substantially rectangular opening. The marginal edge of side walls 20 is formed into first and second steps to provide inner seating ledge 22 and outer seating ledge 24. Inner seating ledge 22 includes an outwardly extending ledge portion 23 and an upwardly extending flange portion 25. Outer seating ledge 24 includes an outwardly extending ledge portion 27 and an upwardly extending flange portion 29. Four additional flanges (or ears) extend outwardly from the corners of the rectangular opening defined by flange 29 to thereby provide mounting brackets 28 so that tube 10 may be mounted to the front of the cabinet of a television receiver.
Faceplate panel 30 (shown in assembled condition in FIG. 2) is sealed to inner seating ledge 22 to complete the tube envelope which is to be evacuated. A safety window 32 is fastened in outer seating ledge 24 to provide a transparent protective screen over faceplate panel 30.
Upwardly extending flange 25, which forms a side wall around the peripheral edge of inner seating step 22, is provided with a plurality of indentations 34. As can be seen in FIGS. 6 and 7, these indentations are rounded with a slight radius so that they extend inwardly towards the axial center of the tube, thereby providing a plurality of indexing points for positioning and alignment of the faceplate panel 30. For example, three such indentations 34 may be provided, as shown in FIG. 1 to coincide with a three-point indexing used in exposing the phosphor dot pattern on faceplate panel 30 in a lighthouse, or by similar known techniques. These indexing points, in turn, provide for alignment of faceplate panel 30 with the axis of the electron gun assembly in the tube.
As mentioned, metal cone 10 may be used with either black and white or color cathode ray tubes, and is particularly adapted to provide simplicity and economy in the production of color cathode ray tubes. In this instance an aperture mask (or beam switching grid) is positioned behind and in close proximity to faceplate panel 30. As best seen in FIGS. 3 and 5, aperture mask 40 may be a one-piece structure which includes a major surface 41, having the same general contour as faceplate panel 30, and an annular flange portion 43 which extends longitudinally along side wall 20. Flange portion 43 may be secured to side wall 20 by a plurality of weld joints around its periphery. In addition to eliminating the frame structure commonly provided for the aperture mask assembly used with an all-glass envelope, this also eliminates the necessity of providing side flanges on the faceplate panel with mounting studs inserted therein .for support of the aperture mask frame structure.
Preferably, although not limiting, cone 10 may be fabricated from .050.060 inch thick steel by known spinning and/or drawing techniques to provide an essentially uniform thickness throughout its cross-section. Neck 16 and faceplate panel 30 may be sealed to flange 14 and to inner seating ledge 22, respectively, by known glass-tometal sealing techniques, commonly known as frit sealing. Safety window 32 may be secured in seating ledge 24 by a suitable cement or epoxy resin.
The invention provides, therefore, an improved cathode ray tube with a composite metal and glass envelope, and is particularly adapted to provide simplicity and economy of assembly for shadow mask-type color cathode ray tubes having a generally rectangular viewing screen. While a preferred embodiment has been shown with particularity, it is to be understood that modifications thereof will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
