Claims
- 1. A color cathode ray tube comprising:
an evacuated envelope comprising a panel portion, a neck portion, and a funnel portion for connecting said panel portion and said neck portion, a generally rectangular shadow mask having a curved apertured portion having a multiplicity of electron-transmissive apertures, a curved imperforate portion surrounding and integral with said apertured portion and a peripheral skirt portion, a generally rectangular support frame for suspending said shadow mask by spot welding said peripheral skirt portion thereto, within said panel portion, said peripheral skirt portion being fitted in said support frame, a phosphor screen formed on an inner surface of said panel portion, an electron gun housed in said neck portion, and a deflection yoke mounted around a vicinity of a transitional region between said funnel portion and said neck portion for scanning electron beams from said electron gun on said phosphor screen, wherein said shadow mask which is made of an iron-nickel alloy is provided with a descending step portion extending along an edge of said imperforate portion, said peripheral skirt portion is formed by being bent back from an entire outer edge of said descending step portion, said peripheral skirt portion is provided with a plurality of beads extending in a direction of a height of said peripheral skirt portion and protruding inward in each side of said peripheral skirt portion, and said descending step portion satisfies one of following three conditions (a)-(c): (a) a height H of said descending step portion is in a range of 30% to 50% of H0, (b) a width W of said descending step portion is in a range of 65% to 80% of W0, and (c) a height H and a width W of said descending step portion are in a range of 30% to 50% of H0 and in a range of 65% to 80% of W0, respectively, said H0 and said W0 being a height H and a width W of said descending step portion at centerlines of long and short sides of said peripheral skirt portion, respectively.
- 2. A color cathode ray tube according to claim 1, wherein weld points of said peripheral skirt portion and said support frame are disposed so that two weld points are provided approximately at a center of each of said long and short sides of said peripheral skirt portion and one weld points is provided at each of four corners of said-peripheral skirt portion.
- 3. A color cathode ray tube according to claim 1, wherein the non-nickel alloy of said shadow mask is Invar.
