Coaxial connector for final anode and convergence voltages

Claim 1

In a color picture tube having a neck portion and a generally conical portion terminating in a face having a screen thereon, and electron gun means disposed in the neck portion for directing a plurality of electron beams focused on the screen and requiring first and second high voltages for the operation thereof; the combination of first and second conductive layers electrically isolated from each other on the interior surface of said conical portion and extending at least adjacent said tube neck, contact means extending from said gun means into engagement with said first and second layers respectivelY, a button structure mounted in said conical portion of the tube and including a first annular electrode having a radially inward directed flange and a second electrode in the form of a pin disposed concentrically within said annular first electrode, said first and second electrodes being insulated from each other and respectively electrically connected with said first and second conductive layers, a cable containing first and second conductors insulated from each other to receive said first and second voltages, and a cap to which said cable extends, said cap being releasably engageable with said button structure and including an annular first conductive connector electrically connected with said first conductor and having resilient fingers extending therefrom and formed with outwardly opening recesses to receive said flange upon insertion of said first connector into said first electrode, and a second conductive connector connected electrically with said second conductor and being in the form of a socket disposed concentrically within said first connector and slidable on said pin upon said insertion, said resilient fingers of the first connector being capable of radially inward flexing to release said flange from said recesses during attachment and removal of said cap with respect to said button structure.
