Abstract
A deviator associated with an autoconvergent color image tube is modified so that it may be used in combination with a tube of the same type, but having an image screen of smaller size, the horizontal and/or vertical deviation center being displaced. According to the invention, a magnetic screen is placed across the magnetic field lines produced by the vertical and horizontal deviation coils whereby the deviation centers are displaced without any modification of the coils.
Claims5
In autoconvergent color image tubes having differently sized tube screens, an interchangeable deviator assembly for use in any of the tubes, the assembly comprising:
- a saddle-shaped horizontal deviation coil having front and rear napes being generally perpendicular to the axis of the tube;
- a vertical deviation coil positioned in radially outward concentric relation to the horizontal deviation coil;
- and
- a magnetic screen positioned generally perpendicular to the tube axis, between the rear nape of the horizontal deviation coil and a confronting surface of the vertical deviation coil for
- (a) deviating magnetic lines of force from the vertical deviation coil, in the vicinity of the magnetic screen, forwardly toward the tube screen;
- (b) deviating magnetic lines of force from the horizontal deviation coil, in the vicinity of the magnetic screen, rearwardly away from the tube screen;
- the inclusion of the magnetic screen resulting in a displacement of the horizontal and vertical deviation centers to effect accurate vertical and horizontal deviation for the tubes having differently sized tube screens without necessitating modifications to the horizontal or vertical deviation coils.
A process for assembling an interchangeable deviator assembly for autoconvergent color image tubes having differently sized tube screens, the process comprising the steps:
- positioning a saddle-shaped horizontal deviation coil around a conical section of the tube envelope and coaxial therewith, the coil having front and rear napes being generally perpendicular to the axis of the tube;
- positioning an annular vertical deviation coil radially outward and in concentric relation to the horizontal deviation coil;
- positioning a magnetic screen generally perpendicular to the tube axis between a rear nape of the horizontal deviation coil and a confronting surface of the vertical deviation coil for
- (a) deviating magnetic lines of force from the vertical deviation coil, in the vicinity of the magnetic screen, forwardly toward the tube screen;
- and
- (b) deviating magnetic lines of force from the horizontal deviation coil, in the vicinity of the magnetic screen, rearwardly away from the tube screen;
- the inclusion of the magnetic screen resulting in a displacement of the horizontal and vertical deviation centers to effect accurate vertical and horizontal deviation for the tubes having differently sized tube screens without necessitating modifications to the horizontal or vertical deviation coils.
