Abstract
Abstract Two six-pole annular magnetic structures are arranged about the neck of a three-in-line color display tube so as to be eccentric with respect to each other and with respect to the center of the neck. The center of one six-pole is situated halfway between the central electron beam and one outer electron beam. The two beams on both sides of the center of the six-pole, consequently, are subjected to equal forces of the same direction. The third beam is subjected to a force in the same direction, but this force is nine times larger due to the three times as large distance from the center of the six-pole and due to the square-law field variation thereof. Because of their identical direction and value, the forces acting on the former beams will not disturb the convergence therebetween.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
In combination with a color display tube having three electron guns arranged in a single plane, a device for the static convergence of electron beams generated by the electron guns, said device enclosing the neck of the color display tube and comprising at least two annular magnetic six-pole structures, which are arranged eccentrically with respect to the neck of the color display tube and to each other, the axis of rotation of a first of said magnetic structures being situated halfway between one outer electron beam and the central electron beam and the axis of the second magnetic structure being situated halfway between the central electron beam and the other electron outer beam.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
In combination with a color display tube having three electron guns arranged in a single plane, a device for the static convergence of electron beams generated by the electron guns, said device enclosing the neck of the color display tube and comprising at least two annular magnetic six-pole structures, which are arranged eccentrically with respect to the neck of the color display tube and to each other, the axis of rotation of a first of said magnetic structures being situated halfway between one outer electron beam and the central electron beam and the axis of the second magnetic structure being situated halfway between the central electron beam and the other electron outer beam.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The combination of claim 1, further comprising a means for rotating the magnetic field of each structure through an angle of at least 120° with respect to the axis of rotation to the respective magnetic structure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The combination of claim 1, wherein each of said magnetic structures comprises a pair of annular six-pole magnets, the annular six-pole magnets of each pair being independently rotatable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The combination of claim 3, further comprising means for rotating said annular six-pole magnets of each pair through opposite equal angles with respect to their common axis of rotation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The combination of claim 1, wherein each of said annular magnetic six-pole structures comprise an electro-magnet, and further comprising means for controlling the strength of field of the respective poles.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
The combination of claim 5, wherein said each electro-magnet further comprises six additional poles, and means for controlling the magnetic strength of the respective six additional poles, the poles of said additional electro-magnet being intermediate the poles of said first mentioned electro-magnet.
