Abstract

A degaussing coil holder according to the present invention comprises a retaining member provided with insertion holes formed in right and left positions adjacent to each other and further provided in the insertion holes with retaining pawls which are urged and project in directions opposite to each other, and band straps each provided at one end thereof with a degaussing coil holding portion, with the other ends being inserted through the insertion holes from openings of the holes positioned in opposite directions, and further provided on one side thereof with a series of ratchet serrations adapted to engage the associated retaining pawl in the insertion hole. Therefore, the unevenness is reduced and the volume efficiency is high. Moreover, the holding tension between degaussing coil portions can be adjusted over a wide range.
