A DAMPER WIRE SPRING FOR A CATHODE RAY TUBE

摘要

An apparatus and method for retaining a damper wire (54) used in a cathode ray tube (10) to reduce vibration in the grill type mask assembly of the cathode ray tube. The damper wire is retained across a grill type mask (30) by a bimetal damper spring (50, 56, 86) having a first end (62, 76) and an opposing second end (64). The second end is coupled to the frame of the grill type mask assembly. A tab (52) located proximate the first end of the damper spring is adapted to accept the damper wire that traverses the mask.
