Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A refractive device for correcting the paths of light rays in the formation of a color television picture tube screen comprising, at least a portion of said device having an effective surface thereon for correcting paths of light rays passing therethrough during formation of said screen to substantially correspond to paths electron beams will take in striking the screen in a completed tube, said portion being a silicone resin that is substantially nonsolarizing when exposed to ultraviolet radiation in the range of 290 to 400 nanometers, and a rigid transparent substrate for supporting said portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A refractive device for correcting the paths of light rays in the formation of a color television picture tube screen comprising, at least a portion of said device having an effective surface thereon for correcting paths of light rays passing therethrough during formation of said screen to substantially correspond to paths electron beams will take in striking the screen in a completed tube, said portion being a silicone resin that is substantially nonsolarizing when exposed to ultraviolet radiation in the range of 290 to 400 nanometers, and a rigid transparent substrate for supporting said portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The device as defined in claim 1, wherein said effective surface is a continuously contoured surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The device as defined in claim 1, wherein said effective surface has at least one surface discontinuity.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The device as defined in claim 3, including a mask grid embedded in said portion and aligned with said discontinuity.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
