Cathode ray tube having an improved electron gun

A cathode ray tube comprising:

• a vacuum envelope including a panel portion having a phosphor screen on an inner surface thereof, a neck portion, a funnel portion connecting said panel portion and said neck portion, and a stem closing said neck portion at one end thereof and having a circular array of stem pins sealed therethrough;
• an electron gun housed in said neck portion,
• said electron gun including a plurality of electrodes coaxially fixed on a pair of bead glasses;
• a plurality of mount supports embedded in end portions of said pair of bead glasses for supporting said electron gun on said stem;
• and
• a supporting member for connecting one of said stem pins and one of said plurality of mount supports,
• said supporting member including a plate-like portion, first and second bent portions bent from respective sides of said plate-like portion in a same direction to form a generally C-shaped transverse cross section,
• said first bent portion being welded to said one of said plurality of mount supports,
• said second bent portion being welded to said one of said stem pins, and
• a length of said plate-like portion on a first-bent-portion side thereof in a direction of an axis of said electron gun being longer than a length of said plate-like portion on a second-bent-portion side thereof in the direction of the axis of said electron gun.
