signor to Hartford National Bank and Trust Company, Hartford, Conn., as trustee Application April 6, 1951, Serial No. 219,550 In the Netherlands May 2, 1950 6 claims. (01. 313-s2) 1- This invention relates to cathode ray tubes for television reception. 7 Such tubes often employ an ion trap to separate the negativev ions, which are emitted by the cathode together with the electrons or which are produced in the discharge space, from the electron beam, in order to avoid a so-called ion spot on the image screen. Such an iron trap employs means to deflect the electrons from their initial direction in which the ion beam maintains its initial direction, but alternatively the ions may be deflected in the same direction as the electrons, the separation of ions and electrons being effected by deflecting the electrons again into their initial direction. 1.
This particular construction avoids another disadvantage, which is generally inherent in cathode-ray tubes which are not provided with a deionisation device, but which is also found in tubes provided with an ion trap.
Direct light of the cathode visible on the screen of the cathode-ray tube has in the past been objectionable. In order to avoid the reflection of the light produced by the screen on the photoelectric cathode in image transformers, these two elements, instead of being arranged in parallel have been arranged at an angle in such manner that the light of the collecting screen no longer reaches the photo-electric cathode and such that the electrons are conveyed along curved paths from one element to the other. In order to avoid the ion spot, similar precautions have been taken with cathode ray tubes,'but in this case the tube was given a curved construction which was manufactured with difficulty, the arrangement of cylindrical coils, i. e. focussing coils, being difiicult.
It has been found that the type of screen bears to some extent upon the nature of the phenomenon. The disadvantage is more apparent in the case of thin collecting screens,which transmit a great quantity of light. not possible to employ certain types of screens,
Consequently, it is It is an object of the invention to eliminate cathode light in cathode-ray tubes for television reception.
According to the invention one or more transverse walls provided with an aperture are'arranged in the path transversed by the electrons from the cathode to the area where they leave the final anode in such manner that the part of the cathode which is intended to be heated to the temperature at which electron emission takes place is not visible from any point of the collecting screen.

Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of a light shield according to the invention;
Fig. 3 shows an electron beam focussing system in conjunction with a light shield;
Fig. 4 shows another electron beam focussing system with a light shield;
Fig. 5 shows a cathode-ray tube employing a light shield according to the invention.
Fig. 1 of the drawing shows one form of ion trap for separating ions from the electron beam in a cathode ray tube which comprises a cylindrical electrode l which embraces the electron beam emitted by a cathode 2.
This electrode, which is hereinafter referred 'to as an ion collector hasa transverse wall 3 (collecting plate). having an aperture 4 to allow the electrons to pass therethrough. The cylindrical part of the ion collector may be a metal body arranged in the tube, and need not necessarily have a circular section. Alternatively, it may be constituted by a conductive coating or a metal part of the tube wall.
The aperture 4 in the collecting plate 3 is usually circular and concentric with the axis of the ion collector, but neither of the aforementioned requirements for the aperture is absolutely necessary.
and, moreover due to the harmful phenomenon The end surface at the left-hand end of the cylinder 1 is at an angle to the axis 5 of the cylinder. At this end the electrode 6 is located, the end of which facing the cylinder is at a similar angle to the axis 5 so that a narrow gap is formed between these two parts in which a potential difference between the electrode 6 and the cylinder l produces an electric field, which has a constant component in the area covered by the beam at right angles to the axis 5, parallel to the plane of the drawing. The other end of electrode 6 is closed by a diaphragm I having a central aperture 8. The cathode 2 is surrounded by a Wehnelt cylinder 9, provided with a diaphragm 3 to, having a. central aperture ll. The beam 12 composed of electrons and negative ions is deflected in the direction of the arrow in the electric field between the electrode 6 and the cylinder I. The deflecting action of the electric field on the electron beam is neutralized by magnetic forces at right angles to the plane of the drawing. These forces do not change the direction of the ions, so that the ion beam ends at the inner wall'of the cylinder I.
Where the magnetic forces are strongest, the deflection of the electronlrieam from the axis 5 of the cylinder I is greatest. A transverse'pa'rtition I3 is arranged at this point in cylinder I which is provided with an eccentric aperture for the passage of the electron beam I4. By-choosing the point where the magnetic forces are acting it may be readily ensured that the eccentricity of this aperture is suflicient so that, viewed froidthe cathode, the "aperture in; the collecting platen 'is completely screened by-"the transverse l.', f'It is only necessary that the extension cf" the line connecting "the biottcim point 'of the aperture l-anathetop Point ofthe apertnre lcconstitute spasm boundaries of theapertures S and- 1 I inthe diaphragm l, and I'll. Consequently, the
