Abstract
Abstract A color projection television receiver and projector having three color tubes mounted in fixed relation and in predetermined location relative to a screen for projecting three color pictures in registration thereon. Accurate registration of the pictures results from a projection tube structure adapted for accurate reproducability in production, whereby field adjustment is minimized. The tube structure employs a mounting barrel accurately suspended within the evacuated envelope and supporting a phosphor-coated target and a projection mirror. A Schmidt correction lens is mounted externally to the envelope of each tube.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A projection television tube having, in combination, an envelope with a face plate sealed thereto to define an evacuated space with a projection axis passing through said plate, a generally cylindrical inner shroud mounted on the surface of the face plate and having an optical correction lens mounted therein, a generally cylindrical outer shroud surrounding the face plate and a portion of the envelope with a clearance space therebetween, said inner and outer shrouds having mutually engaging portions adapted to fix their positions on the face plate longitudinally of the projection axis while forming a clearance for relative movement of the shrouds during assembly in directions lateral to said axis, harness means extending into the clearance space and being adapted for mounting the tube to an external support, and a body of adhesive in the clearance space and joining the harness, outer shroud and envelope together.
