Abstract
Abstract A cathode assembly for cathode-ray tube which comprises a cathode sleeve with a blackened surface, a first cylindrical reflective member fixedly put on the top end portion of the cathode sleeve with a fixing point therebetween and having one end portion closed up with a metal substrate, and a second cylindrical reflective member attached to the cathode sleeve by means of support members so as to be on the same axis with the cathode sleeve and having a diameter greater than that of the cathode sleeve, both the first and second cylindrical reflective members being provided for reflecting radiant heat from the cathode sleeve, and the length of the first cylindrical reflective member being set so that an angle formed between the longitudinal direction of the cathode sleeve and a straight line connecting a heat radiation peak point on the outer surface of the cathode sleeve and the inner edge of a top opening portion of the second cylindrical reflective member, on a plane passing through the same axis, may be 30° or less.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
A cathode assembly for cathode-ray tube comprising: a cathode sleeve having a blackened surface; a first cylindrical reflective member having an unblackened surface fixedly positioned about a top end portion of said cathode sleeve with a fixing point therebetween and having one end portion thereof closed by a metal member; and a second cylindrical reflective member positioned about said cathode sleeve on the same axis therewith and having a diameter greater than that of said cathode sleeve, support member means for fixing the position of said second cylindrical reflective member with respect to said cathode sleeve, both said first and second cylindrical reflective members providing means for reflecting radiant heat from said cathode sleeve, said second cylindrical reflective member having an upper portion that is apart from and overlapping in vertical position a lower portion of said first cylindrical reflective member, and the length of said first cylindrical reflective member being selected such that an angle formed between the longitudinal direction of said cathode sleeve and a straight line connecting a heat radiation peak point on the outer surface of said cathode sleeve and an inner edge of a top opening portion of said second cylindrical reflective member, on a plane passing through said same axis, is 30° or less.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
210 words
A cathode assembly for cathode-ray tube comprising: a cathode sleeve having a blackened surface; a first cylindrical reflective member having an unblackened surface fixedly positioned about a top end portion of said cathode sleeve with a fixing point therebetween and having one end portion thereof closed by a metal member; and a second cylindrical reflective member positioned about said cathode sleeve on the same axis therewith and having a diameter greater than that of said cathode sleeve, support member means for fixing the position of said second cylindrical reflective member with respect to said cathode sleeve, both said first and second cylindrical reflective members providing means for reflecting radiant heat from said cathode sleeve, said second cylindrical reflective member having an upper portion that is apart from and overlapping in vertical position a lower portion of said first cylindrical reflective member, and the length of said first cylindrical reflective member being selected such that an angle formed between the longitudinal direction of said cathode sleeve and a straight line connecting a heat radiation peak point on the outer surface of said cathode sleeve and an inner edge of a top opening portion of said second cylindrical reflective member, on a plane passing through said same axis, is 30° or less.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A cathode assembly according to claim 1, wherein the fixing point between said first cylindrical reflective member and said cathode sleeve is located within 1.0 mm from the top face of said metal substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A cathode assembly according to claim 1, wherein said first cylindrical reflective member is formed of Ni alloy containing at least one kind of material selected among a group of materials including reducing material(s) and crystallization inhibitor(s).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A cathode assembly according to claim 3, wherein said reducing material or materials are at least one material selected among a group including Mg, Si, Al and Zr, and said crystallization inhibitor or inhibitors are at least one material selected among a group including W and Co.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A cathode assembly according to claim 3, wherein said reducing material or materials are other material(s) than Cr, Cu, Fe and Mn.
