Abstract
Abstract A method of strengthening a cathode-ray tube against implosion in which a metal band and the conical portion of the cathode-ray tube adjoining the window are provided with an adhesive layer containing a reducing agent compatible with a redox system used to harden a combination of a polyester and a monomer. The metal band is placed around the conical portion of the tube and the space therebetween filled with a polyester, a monomer, a redox system, and a filler. The polyester mass is subsequently hardened at ambient temperatures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A method of strengthening a television display tube having a substantially rectangular window closing one end of a conical portion for the purpose of reducing the risk of implosion comprising the steps of applying to a surface of a metallic band and the surface of the conical portion adjoining the window an adhesive layer containing a reducing agent for hardening a polyester mass, surrounding the conical portion covered with said adhesive layer with said metallic band leaving a space therebetween, filling said space between the metallic band and the conical portion with a mixture consisting of an unsaturated polyester resin, a monomer which is polymerisable therewith, a redox system and a filler, and hardening the mixture at room temperature.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
119 words
A method of strengthening a television display tube having a substantially rectangular window closing one end of a conical portion for the purpose of reducing the risk of implosion comprising the steps of applying to a surface of a metallic band and the surface of the conical portion adjoining the window an adhesive layer containing a reducing agent for hardening a polyester mass, surrounding the conical portion covered with said adhesive layer with said metallic band leaving a space therebetween, filling said space between the metallic band and the conical portion with a mixture consisting of an unsaturated polyester resin, a monomer which is polymerisable therewith, a redox system and a filler, and hardening the mixture at room temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method of strengthening a television display tube as claimed in claim 1 in which the reducing agent contained in the adhesive layer is the same as that in the redox system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method of strengthening a television display tube as claimed in claim 2 in which the reducing agent is dimethyl paratoluidine.
