Dimples or depressions are formed in a deflection coil for a CRT deflection yoke assembly by inserting a spherically shaped end of a dowel-like pin through a hole in the wall of a female arbor, to protrude into a winding cavity formed between a male arbor and the female arbor of the associated yoke coil winding machine. The pin end is inserted only partially into the cavity, for acting as a deformation in the wall of the female arbor, thereby causing convolutions of wire being wound around the cavity to overly the pin. This creates the desired dimple or depression, and controls the distribution of the wires in that area of the deflection coil.

Saddle coil deflection winding, apparatus and method of making thereof

A deflection yoke arrangement with geometry correction includes horizontal and vertical deflection coils for scanning a raster pattern on a phosphor screen of a cathode ray tube. A support housing suitable for positioning about the neck of the cathode ray tube contains the coils and has a front rim formed with a plurality of slots near the outer periphery. A plurality of brackets formed from magnetically permeable material are located in corresponding ones of the slots. Each bracket comprises two flat end sections joined to opposite sides of a flat central part at substantially right angles thereto. One of the flat end sections of each bracket collects magnetic flux generated by the coils and channels the flux via the central part to the other end section. The plurality of brackets shape the deflection magnetic field in the region about the front rim to provide the geometry correction.
