Abstract
Abstract A line end stage for a television receiver which comprises a transformer, a first high voltage rectifier and a second high voltage rectifier. The transformer has a primary winding coupled to the line sweep coils of the receiver, and a secondary winding. The secondary winding has one end coupled through the first high voltage rectifier to ground and through the second high voltage rectifier to the anode of the television receiver picture tube. The transformer comprises a core having a longitudinal axis. The primary winding is mounted on the core coaxial with the longitudinal axis and an insulating winding form surrounds the primary winding. The winding form is provided with spaced longitudinally-distributed radially-extending chambers and the secondary winding is located within these chambers. The thicknesses of the winding form between the bottoms of the chambers and the primary winding are greatest at the ends of the winding form and become progressively smaller toward the center of the form.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
In a televison receiver having line sweep coils and a picture tube, a line end stage comprising a transformer coupled to said line sweep coils including a core having a longitudinal axis; a single continuous untapped primary winding mounted on said core, said primary winding being coaxial with said longitudinal axis; an insulating winding form surrounding said single primary winding, said winding form being coaxial with said longitudinal axis and being provided with spaced longitudinally-distributed radially-extending chambers; and a single continuous untapped secondary winding located within the chambers of said winding form, the distances between the bottoms of the chambers within said winding form and said primary winding decreasing from the ends of said winding form toward the center thereof along said longitudinal axis; a first high voltage rectifier having its anode connected to ground and its cathode connected to one end of said secondary winding; and a second high voltage rectifier having its anode connected to the other end of said secondary winding and its cathode connected to the anode of said picture tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
175 words
In a televison receiver having line sweep coils and a picture tube, a line end stage comprising a transformer coupled to said line sweep coils including a core having a longitudinal axis; a single continuous untapped primary winding mounted on said core, said primary winding being coaxial with said longitudinal axis; an insulating winding form surrounding said single primary winding, said winding form being coaxial with said longitudinal axis and being provided with spaced longitudinally-distributed radially-extending chambers; and a single continuous untapped secondary winding located within the chambers of said winding form, the distances between the bottoms of the chambers within said winding form and said primary winding decreasing from the ends of said winding form toward the center thereof along said longitudinal axis; a first high voltage rectifier having its anode connected to ground and its cathode connected to one end of said secondary winding; and a second high voltage rectifier having its anode connected to the other end of said secondary winding and its cathode connected to the anode of said picture tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 1 wherein the thickness of the insulation of said insulating winding form between said primary and secondary windings is a minimum along a line perpendicular to said longitudinal axis at the center of said core and increases toward the end of said core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 1 wherein the thickness of said winding form between the bottom of the chamber at the center of said winding form and said primary winding has a predetermined value, and the thicknesses of each of said chambers toward the ends of said winding form and said primary winding increases with respect to that at the center as a function of the distance from said center chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 1 wherein at least one of said chambers has parallel sides and the bottom thereof is perpendicular to said sides.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 1 wherein the chambers at the ends of said winding form are empty, and said secondary winding is located within the chambers therebetween.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
46 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 1 wherein the thicknesses of the secondary windings within said chambers are different, said thicknesses being selected to tune said secondary winding to a predetermined harmonic of the frequency of the return sweep oscillation of said television receiver.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 1 wherein said primary winding extends in the direction of said longitudinal axis beyond said secondary winding.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 1 wherein at least one of said chambers has parallel sides and the bottom thereof has a rounded fluted shape.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 8 wherein the edge of said bottom adjacent one side of said chamber has a different radius of curvature than the edge adjacent the other side of said chamber.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
59 words
A line end stage as defined in claim 9 wherein the chambers containing said secondary winding at the ends of the said winding form have said rounded fluted shape and wherein the edges of the bottoms of said chambers facing the ends of said winding form have a larger radius of curvature than the opposite edges of said chambers.
