Abstract
A color cathode ray tube is provided with a shadow mask structure which includes a shadow mask formed by integrally forming an apertured portion, an imperforate portion and a skirt portion, and a support frame having a frame portion into which the skirt portion is fitted. The skirt portion of the shadow mask has respective long sides and respective short sides thereof recessed inwardly, and the frame portion has respective long sides and respective short sides formed in planes having no welding bosses, and the skirt portion is fitted into and welded to the frame portion. Furthermore, an end of the outside of the skirt portion and the inner wall of the frame portion have respective entire peripheries thereof come into contact with each other. With such a construction, the shadow mask structure has a small magnetic resistance and the shadow mask is prevented from being vibrated at the time an external vibration is applied to the cathode ray tube. Furthermore, the shadow mask can be easily assembled and can provide an apertured portion which is free from deformation.
