Abstract
Abstract A color display tube having a quadrupole post-focusing electrode consisting of two crossing sets of parallel conductors, the first set of conductors consisting of wires and the second set of conductors consisting of metal stripes secured pairwise against each other and clamping the wires at the crossings, said wires being surrounded coaxially at the area of the crossings by a layer of insulation material, has the advantage that already at a comparatively low focusing voltage between the sets of conductors a sufficiently strong focusing influence is exerted on the electron beams.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
In a colour display tube including, in an evacuated envelope, means for generating a plurality of electron beams, a display screen having a multiplicity of regions luminescing in different colours and colour selection means for assigning each electron beam to luminescent regions of one colour, said colour selection means including two sets of parallel, spaced conductors, the conductors of each set being interconnected and the conductors of one set extending transversely of the conductors of the other set to define a grid with apertures for passing said beams, the improvement wherein said conductors of one of said sets are wires and said conductors of the other set are formed by pairs of metal strips secured to each other and clamping said wires therebetween at locations at which said wires cross said strips, and including an insulating layer disposed about portions of said wires which are clamped between said strips for insulating said conductors of the respective sets from each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
In a colour display tube including, in an evacuated envelope, means for generating a plurality of electron beams, a display screen having a multiplicity of regions luminescing in different colours and colour selection means for assigning each electron beam to luminescent regions of one colour, said colour selection means including two sets of parallel, spaced conductors, the conductors of each set being interconnected and the conductors of one set extending transversely of the conductors of the other set to define a grid with apertures for passing said beams, the improvement wherein said conductors of one of said sets are wires and said conductors of the other set are formed by pairs of metal strips secured to each other and clamping said wires therebetween at locations at which said wires cross said strips, and including an insulating layer disposed about portions of said wires which are clamped between said strips for insulating said conductors of the respective sets from each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The tube according to claim 1 wherein said insulating layer is aluminum oxide and said conductors are made of iron.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
114 words
A method of making a colour selection means for a colour display tube comprising the steps of: supporting a set of wires coated with an insulating material in a spaced apart, parallel relationship; positioning, on each of two opposite sides of said set of wires, a set of spaced apart, parallel metal strips so that said strips extend perpendicularly to said wires with the strips of one set being disposed opposite the strips of the other set; securing together opposite pairs of strips so that said wires are clamped therebetween to thereby form a grid of crossing conductors; and removing said insulation from portions of said wires which are not clamped between said strips.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
114 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method according to claim 3 wherein said insulation is removed by etching.
