Abstract
Abstract A yoke mounting assembly provides easy yoke adjustment along the axial direction of the tube with accurate, fixed positioning in the other two dimensions. An extruded sliding support is movable along projections in a housing frame against the applied normal force of a pair of C-shaped retainer springs, the latter being easily rotated to a release position for yoke or camera tube access.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
An adjustable mounting arrangement for the yoke coil assembly of a cathode ray tube device and comprising: housing means including rail means; supporting means slideably supported on the rail means for accurately positioning the yoke coil assembly relative to the CRT and including a first drive means; second drive means rotatably attached to the housing means for cooperating with the first drive means to slidingly move the supporting means relative to the housing means; and a pair of C-shaped retainer springs releasably attached to the housing means and adapted, in a first position, to bias the supporting means against the housing means and, in a second position, to release the supporting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
An adjustable mounting arrangement for the yoke coil assembly of a cathode ray tube device and comprising: housing means including rail means; supporting means slideably supported on the rail means for accurately positioning the yoke coil assembly relative to the CRT and including a first drive means; second drive means rotatably attached to the housing means for cooperating with the first drive means to slidingly move the supporting means relative to the housing means; and a pair of C-shaped retainer springs releasably attached to the housing means and adapted, in a first position, to bias the supporting means against the housing means and, in a second position, to release the supporting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
An adjustable mounting arrangement as in claim 1 wherein the first drive means includes a threaded end portion and the second drive means includes an internally threaded screw means for mating with and causing actual movement of the first drive means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
An adjustable mounting arrangement as in claim 1 wherein the supporting means includes two grooves and each of the C-shaped retainer springs includes a center portion adapted to press against the respective groove means when the springs are in the first position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
