Cathode ray tube with improved yoke clamp

摘要

The deflection coil for a cathode ray tube is secured to the outside of the glass envelope of the tube via a yoke assembly including a yoke clamp having a band which encircles the assembly and is adjusted to securely hold the assembly in place. Dividing the band into sub bands separated by a space along substantially the entire length of the band significantly reduces the stress on the neck of the glass envelope of a cathode ray tube, thereby reducing the incidences of tube failures due to neck cracking.
