Appeal No. 1998-0907 Application 08/121,365 employs a structure for mounting a color selecting electrode within the cathode ray tube. In particular, looking at Figure 3A, color selecting electrode 6 is mounted on a frame 7. Supporting members 8 and 9 are adapted to engage with pins in the cathode ray tube face plate. It is noted that supporting members 9 extend away from the frame in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the face plate. This is different from the prior art of Figure 2 wherein all support members 16 extend in a direction parallel to the plane of the face plate. Independent claim 7 is reproduced as follows: 7. A cathode ray tube comprising: a) a planar face plate panel having a plurality of pins; b) a rectangular frame having four side members; c) a color selecting electrode mounted on said frame; and d) four supporting members being engaged with said pins, each joining with a central portion of one of said side members of said frame, at least two opposed ones of said supporting members extending away from said frame in a direction perpendicular to the plane of said face plate panel, Wherein the distance between a middle point of a side member of said frame and a point where said supporting member is joined with said frame is less than one-sixth of such side frame. 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
