Deflection yoke with compensation for misconvergence by the horizontal center raster

Claim 2

A deflection yoke for a cathode ray tube having gun means for generating a plurality of electron beams which are directed longitudinally to converge substantially at a center of a screen, comprising: means including a horizontal deflection coil located between said gun means and said screen for providing a horizontal deflection magnetic field through which said beams pass so as to be deflected from said center of the screen for horizontally scanning the latter, said horizontal deflection coil being configured to provide said horizontal deflection magnetic field with a barrel-shape at the side of the horizontal deflection coil facing toward said gun means sufficient to over-correct a horizontal center raster misconvergence and with a pin-cushion configuration at the end of the deflection yoke facing toward said face panel; and means for defining a closed circuit in which an induced current is generated by a leakage magnetic field from said deflection magnetic field and which includes a plurality of supplemental coils, a pair of C-shaped cores having said coils wound thereon and an indicator connected with said coils for restricting the flow of said induced current therethrough, said induced current in said closed circuit generating a compensating magnetic field by which distribution of said deflection magnetic field, in the longitudinal direction of said beams, is altered for avoiding misconvergence of said beams when deflected from the center of said screen.

Claim 3

A deflection yoke as in claim 1; wherein said induction is a variable inductor.

Claim 4

A deflection yoke as in claim 1; wherein said supplemental coils and inductor are connected in series with each other.

Claim 5

A deflection yoke as in claim 1; wherein said gun means generates at least three of said electron beams in an in-line arrangement of inner and outer beams; and wherein said C-shaped cores are disposed at an end portion of the deflection yoke facing toward said gun means, said C-shaped cores being in opposed relation opening toward each other with said in-line arrangement of the beams therebetween so that said compensating magnetic field acts more strongly or the outer beams.

Claim 6

A deflection yoke for a color cathode-ray-tube having gun means for generating a center beam and two side beams arranged in-line and which converge with said center beam to achieve a substantially common landing spot at the center of a face panel, said deflection yoke comprising: means including a horizontal deflection coil located between said gun means and said screen for providing a horizontal deflection magnetic field through which said beams pass so as to be deflected from said center of the panel for horizontally scanning the latter, said horizontal deflection coil being configured to provide said horizontal deflection magnetic field with a barrel-shape at the side of the horizontal deflection coil facing toward said gun means sufficient to over-correct a horizontal center raster misconvergence and with a pin-cushion shape at the end of the deflection yoke facing toward said face panel; and means connected in a closed circuit in which an adjustable induced current is generated by a leakage of said horizontal deflection magnetic field and which includes supplemental coils round upon a pair of C-shaped cores and a variable inductor for effecting the adjustment of said induced current, said adjustable induced current in said closed circuit generating an adjustable compensating magnetic field by which the effect of said barrel-shape of said horizontal deflection magnetic field is adjustably counteracted for removing the over-correction of the horizontal center raster misconvergence, said C-shaped cores being disposed at the side of the deflection yoke facing toward said gun means in opposed relation opening toward each other with said in-line arrangement of the beams therebetween so that said compensating magnetic field acts more strongly on the outer beams.

Claim 7

A deflection yoke for a color cathode-ray-tube having gun means for generating a center beam and two side beams arranged in-line and which converge with said center beam to achieve a substantially common landing spot at the center of a face panel, said deflection yoke comprising: means including a horizontal deflection coil located between said gun means and said screen for providing a horizontal deflection magnetic field through which said beams pass so as to be deflected from said center of the panel for horizontally scanning the latter, said horizontal deflection coil being configured to provide said horizontal deflection magnetic field with a barrel-shape at the side of the horizontal deflection coil facing toward said gun means sufficient to over-correct a horizontal center raster misconvergence and with a pin-cushion shape at the end of the deflection yoke facing toward said face panel; and means connected in a closed circuit in which an adjustable induced current is generated by a leakage of said horizontal deflection magnetic field and which includes supplemental coils round upon a pair of C-shaped cores and a variable inductor for effecting the adjustment of said induced current, said adjustable induced current in said closed circuit generating an adjustable compensating magnetic field by which the effect of said barrel-shape of said horizontal deflection magnetic field is adjustably counteracted for removing the over-correction of the horizontal center raster misconvergence, said C-shaped cores being disposed at the side of the deflection yoke facing toward said gun means in opposed relation opening toward each other with said in-line arrangement of the beams therebetween so that said compensating magnetic field acts more strongly on the outer beams.
