20090134801 | DISCHARGE TUBE, FERRULE, LIGHTING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE AND TELEVISION RECEIVER - In a discharge tube, a conductive ferrule is provided on an end portion of a glass tube. The ferrule includes a body that is to be mounted to the outer circumference of the glass tube and has a contact portion to be electrically conductively fixed to a relay connector (or a bearing device). Further included is a conductive portion that extends from the body so as to have elastic contact with an outer lead. The outer lead will not be under load due to the weight of the discharge tube, but the conductive portion solely has elastic contact therewith. Thus, stress concentration on the outer lead can be prevented. | 05-28-2009 |

20100039572 | POWER BOARD, ON-BOARD CONNECTOR, LIGHTING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE AND TELEVISION RECEIVER - In a power board, relay terminals penetrate a circuit board through fitting holes, and are connected to output terminals. The fitting holes are thus formed as through holes on the circuit board, and thereby on-board connectors provided for connection to the relay terminals on a chassis can be arranged on the back surface of the circuit board on the opposite side of the chassis. Electronic components free from restriction of the positional relationship with the chassis can be mounted on the back surface of the circuit board, as are the on-board connectors. | 02-18-2010 |
20100066916 | DISCHARGE TUBE SUPPORTING STRUCTURE, SUPPORTING MEMBER, DISCHARGE TUBE, FERRULE, LIGHTING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE AND TELEVISION RECEIVER - Discharge tubes, each of which includes a glass tube and a ferrule that has a substantially cylindrical shape and is fitted to each end portion of the glass tube, are supported by a plurality of pairs of relay connectors (or supporting members) provided on the front side of a chassis having substantially a plate-shaped configuration. When a discharge tube is supported by relay connectors, stoppers provided on the relay connectors lock the ferrules so that axial movement of the discharge tube relative to the relay connectors is restricted. | 03-18-2010 |

20100091481 | RELAY CONNECTOR, MOUNTING STRUCTURE OF RELAY CONNECTOR AND CHASSIS, AND MOUNTING STRUCTURE OF RELAY CONNECTOR AND DISCHARGE TUBE - Relay connectors are arranged to supply power from power boards arranged on the back side of a chassis having a substantially plate-shaped configuration to discharge tubes arranged on the front side of the chassis. Each relay connector includes a holder having an insulation property and to be mounted to the chassis, and further includes a relay terminal mounted to the holder and capable of electrical connection to the discharge tube and the power board. The relay terminal is immune to direct contact with the chassis. This enables the use of a metallic chassis. | 04-15-2010 |

20100097786 | DISCHARGE TUBE, FERRULE, LIGHTING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE AND TELEVISION RECEIVER - A ferrule includes a body having a cylindrical shape. Elastic gripping portions are arranged on the body so as to bulge radially inwardly. The elastic gripping portions can have elastic contact with the outer circumferential surface of a glass tube. The body of the ferrule is mounted to the glass tube via the elastic gripping portions capable of elastic and radial deformation. Thereby, the variations in outer diameter of the glass tube can be absorbed, and therefore the dimensional control with high precision is not required for glass tubes at the time of manufacturing. This leads to cost reduction. | 04-22-2010 |
