Abstract
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 interconnected by means of one or more conductive contact springs surrounding the support rods and touching the surface of each electrode or of the brace connected thereto.
Claims4
An electron gun system for a color television display tube, comprising three electron guns each extending along a longitudinal axis and including:
- a first electrode electrically-connected to a corresponding first electrode of each of the other guns;
- and
- a second electrode to be operated at a different electrical potential than the first electrode, said second electrode being electrically-connected to a corresponding second electrode of each of the other guns;
- said first and second electrodes being secured to insulating support rods by conductive braces connected thereto;
- characterized in that at least said first electrodes are electrically-connected by means of at least one conductive contact spring surrounding the support rods and touching the surface of each electrode or of the brace connected thereto.
