Resilient means on the mask frame of a cathode ray tube support the mask-frame assembly by mating with positioning studs embedded in the sidewall of the tube's viewing panel. To prevent permanent deformation of the resilient support means, mesas are formed adjacent to each means to beneficially limit their flexural movement necessitated by repeated insertion and removal of the mask-frame assembly during tube manufacturing.

Deflection limiting means for CRT mask support means

An improved bimetal mounting bracket for color cathode ray tubes allows an increase in the space between the mask and screen of the tube to accommodate a miniaturized electron gun without the need for changes to the other tube components.

Color cathode ray tube incorporating improved thermal compensation type

An improvement is provided in a cathode ray tube screen exposure device wherein both the intensity and the shaping of the exposure radiation is improved by employing two conjunctive sources of radiant energy. The alpha source is positioned in a substantially superjacent manner relative to a related beta source on a substantially common optical axis. Each source is separately adjustable in a limited arcual manner, during operation of the device, to achieve optimized light output in the form of a conjunctive source of radiant energy of optimized shaping.

CRT screen exposure device utilizing improved light means

An improvement is provided in a cathode ray tube screen exposure device to achieve optimum optical alignment of related components constituting the exposure optical system. In relationship with a discretely positioned light output area, separate means are provided to achieve fine adjustable positionings of both the source of radiant energy and the associated reflective means in both x and y related directions in planes normal to the optical axis, and in the z related direction in planes parallel to a central axis. Each of the respective optical alignment adjustments is individually effected by linkages to separate exteriorly located control means. Retentive means are incorporated in the respective linkages to insure accurate maintenance of the cooperative adjustments.
