Apparatus for and method of electrophoretic coating of cathode shafts with an emissive layer.

摘要

It is possible to electrophoretically coat cathode shafts with an emissive layer having excellent mechanical properties by means of a device which comprises an electrophoresis bath and a jig which can be dipped therein and in which cathode shafts can be placed, which jig is composed of a plate of insulation material (3) which is provided on the two surfaces with a first (4) and a second (5) electrically conductive layer, said jig having a large number of apertures (2) in each of which a cathode shaft (6) can be provided in a fitting manner such that each cathode shaft electrically contacts the first electrically conductive layer (4), and the plate is such a thickness that the side of the shaft to be coated is located at a distance from the second conductive layer (5), which distance is small in relation to the thickness of the jig, which jig is provided at least with a sealing nonelectrically conductive layer (8) on the side of the first conductive layer.
