Abstract
A high-voltage, high vacuum electron discharge tube particularly an X-ray tube, having a metal envelope and an anode insulatingly mounted within the envelope. To avoid the deleterious effects of charge formed on the insulator surface, the insulator is formed with a recess of larger size than the anode diameter and the anode is secured to the insulator by mounting it at the region of the bottom of the recess.
Claims4
A high-voltage vacuum tube comprising an envelope having a metal portion and within the envelope a cathode, an anode, and an insulator member, said metal portion in the operation of said tube being at a high negative voltage relative to said anode, said insulator being provided with a recess open to the interior of the tube and spacedly surrounding the anode, said anode being mounted within said recess and being connected to the insulator member at the bottom portion of the recess.
