Chrominance takeoff circuit

Claim 1

IN A COLOR-TELEVISION RECEIVER, INCLUDING AN ELECTRON DEVICE FOR AMPLIFYING BOTH CHROMINANCE AND LUMINANCE SIGNALS, A CHORMINANCE SIGNAL PROCESSING CHANNEL HAVING AN INHERENT DELAY RELATIVE TO THE LUMINANCE SIGNALS PROCESSING CHANNEL AND AN IMAGE REPRODUCER, CIRCUIT MEANS FOR SEPARATING THE CHROMINANCE SIGNALS FROM THE LUMINANCE SIGNAL COMPRISING: A PRIMARY TRANSFORMER WINDING HAVING ONE END COUPLED TO SAID ELECTRON DEVICE; CAPACITANCE MEANS HAVING ITS END TERMINALS COUPLED TO THE END TERMINALS OF SAID PRIMARY TRANSFORMER WINDING FOR FORMING A PARALLEL RESONANT CIRCUIT IN THE CHROMINANCE SIGNALS FREQUENCY RANGE; A DELAY LINE, SUBJECT TO UNDESIRABLY REFLECTING ANY CHROMINANCE SIGNALS COUPLED TO SAID DELAY LINE FOR COUPLING LUMINANCE SIGNALS TO SAID IMAGE REPRODUCER WITH A DELAY COMPENSATING FOR SAID CHROMINANCE CHANNEL DELAY; A GROUND CONNECTION INTERMEDIATE THE END TERMINALS OF SAID PARALLEL RESONANT CIRCUIT COMPRISING SAID PRIMARY TRANSFORMER WINDING AND SAID CAPACITANCE MEANS; TAP MEANS COUPLED TO THE POINT OF MINIMUM CHROMINANCE SIGNAL WITHIN SAID RESONANT CIRCUIT FOR SUPPLYING LUMINANCE SIGNALS TO SAID DELAY LINE; AND A SECONDARY TRANSFORMER WINDING INDUCTIVELY COUPLED TO SAID PRIMARY WINDING FOR ABSORBING SIGNALS IN THE CHROMINANCE SIGNALS FREQUENCY RANGE AND FOR SUPPLYING SAID SIGNAL TO SAID CHROMINANCE CHANNEL; THE CIRCUIT MEANS BEING SO CONSTRUCTED AND ARRANGED THAT THE SIGNAL COUPLED TO SAID DELAY LINE IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE FROM SIGNAL COMPONENTS IN THE CHROMINANCE SIGNAL FREQUENCY RANGE AND SAID SECONDARY WINDING IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF REFLECTED CHROMINANCE SIGNALS FROM SAID DELAY LINE.
