Abstract
A device for mounting a circuit board containing the convergence alignment circuitry for a color television receiver is described. The mounting device is made of a suitable insulating material and includes a collar or ring portion which is supported against the rear envelope of the color CRT by a plurality of integrally-formed leg members. A mounting board assembly is formed integrally with the collar or ring, extending upwardly therefrom for receiving a printed circuit board. The board mounting assembly includes first and second arms extending from the collar for receiving the lower or first edge of the circuit board and an upright support member extending therefrom, away from the collar, having at its remote end a flange from which extends a lip for retaining the upper or second edge of the printed circuit board. Normally, the printed circuit board is retained by the board mounting assembly as an integral part of the cathode ray tube and mounting device; when it becomes necessary to adjust the convergence circuit, the television technician may readily remove the circuit board which is connected by a cable to the convergence yoke disposed about the neck of the color CRT, and dispose the printed circuit board so as to adjust its elements while the technician views directly the front face of the color CRT.
