Abstract
A cathode ray tube has a funnel provided with an outer conductive coating that is electrically isolated from an AC mains supply. An insulated degaussing coil is fitted to the funnel against the outer conductive coating and energized by the AC mains supply in an electrically nonisolated manner. A spring includes a resilient body forming a spring action that snugly fits the degaussing coil against the outer conductive coating. The spring includes a clip for attaching the resilient body to the degaussing coil. At least one of the clip and the resilient body is made of an insulated material for preventing the resilient body from providing a conductive path with respect to electrical shock hazard between the degaussing coil and the electrically isolated outer conductive coating.
