Abstract
Abstract A color television picture tube comprises an integrally formed shadow mask unit including electron beam passing apertures, and skirt, and flange portions. The unitary mask construction is secured to a bulb housing via studs, and bimetal is employed for temperature compensation. The structure obviates welding and welding associated nonuniformity and expense, and also permits accurate registration of the mask structure within the tube.
