APPARATUS FOR RETAINING A DAMPER WIRE ON A GRILL TYPE MASK ASSEMBLY IN A CATHODE RAY TUBE, THE GRILL TYPE MASK ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD OF ATTACHING THE DAMPER WIRE TO THE MASK ASSEMBLY

摘要

An apparatus and method for retaining a damper wire used in a cathode ray tube to reduce vibration in the grill type mask assembly of a cathode ray tube. The damper wire is retained across a grill type mask by a bimetal damper spring having a first end and an opposing second end. The second end is coupled to the frame of the grill type mask assembly. A tab located proximate the first end of the damper spring is adapted to accept the damper wire that traverses the mask.
