Abstract
A novel electron gun assembly having at least one generally longitudinally-extending electron beam path includes a plurality of electrodes attached to at least two electrically-insulating support rods. Each of the support rods has a surface having at least two indexing cavities formed therein for aligning the support rods along the beam path.
Claims5
In an electron-gun assembly having at least one generally longitudinally-extending electron beam path, said assembly comprising at least two elongated electrically-insulating support rods each rod having a mounting surface and a beading support surface with a plurality of electrodes attached by mounting means to said mounting surfaces of each of said support rods, the improvement wherein
- at least two indexing cavities are formed in said beading support surface of each of said support rods, whereby said rods are aligned along said beam path.
In an in-line electron gun assembly comprising
- at least two elongated electrically-insulating support rods, each of said support rods being a parallelepiped member having a mounting surface and an oppositely disposed beading support surface,
- a plurality of electrodes for producing and directing three electron beams along spaced coplanar paths having a common generally longitudinal direction, said electrodes being affixed to said mounting surface of each of said support rods, the improvement wherein
- at least two indexing cavities are formed in said beading support surface of each of said support rods, whereby said rods are aligned along said beam paths.
