Abstract
A getter assembly is described which has an antenna mount in the form of a small bar placed along the diameter of an annular container. The antenna mount is formed in such a way as to touch the container only in areas near to the inner wall. In order to reduce to a minimum the points and the areas of contact between the antenna mount and the getter material container, the connection of these two elements is made by means of two diametrically opposite spot welds near to the internal wall of the annular container and longitudinally disposed along the mount. The mounting bar is preferably furnished with a downwardly dependent support member for maintaining the getter assembly away from the wall of the cathode ray tube in which it will be located.
Claims5
A getter assembly for a cathode ray tube comprising a getter material container having an external sidewall, an internal sidewall and a bottom wall connecting said external sidewall to said internal sidewall, so as to define an annular channel containing powdered getter material, the upper edge of said internal sidewall being integrally formed round a substantially disc-shaped element so as to define an upraised bottom portion as well as an antenna mount in the form of a small bar coincident with a diameter of said container and having a support means lying in a plane perpendicular to said antenna mount, the antenna mount touching said bottom wall and welded thereto only in zones very close to said internal sidewall.
A getter assembly for a cathode ray tube comprising a getter material container having an external sidewall, an internal sidewall and a bottom wall connecting said external sidewall to said internal sidewall, so as to define a channel containing powdered getter material, the upper edge of said internal sidewall being integrally formed round an upraised bottom portion and an antenna mount in the form of a small rectangular cross-section bar coincident with a diameter of said container and a support means lying in a plane perpendicular to said antenna mount, said antenna mount touching said bottom wall and being welded thereto at a radial distance not greater than 2 mm with respect to the internal sidewall, the diameter of the internal sidewall being less than 3 mm.
