Abstract: An apparatus for automatically inserting and retrieving cathode ray tube face panels from a panel processor which includes a programmer and an endless conveyor that carries a plurality of panel supporting carts. A prime mover controlled by the programmer steps the carts through a series of work stations, including an index station, disposed along a closed path. The apparatus comprises a platen having a pair of panel holders successively displaceable between the index station and a loading station. Means are provided for effecting a first reciprocation of the panel holder at the index station into engagement with an indexed cart to insert an unprocessed panel therein and thereafter, upon a second reciprocation to retrieve a processed panel from a subsequently indexed cart. Finally, platen driving means are provided for displacing the panel holder with the retrieved panel to the loading station while simultaneously displacing the other panel holder to the index station to insert an unprocessed panel into the subsequently indexed cart.

Abstract: D R A W I N G
THIS DISCLOSURE DEPICTS IMPROVED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY PROCESSING FRONT PANELS OF CATHODE RAY TUBES IN A CONTINUOUS STEP-BY-STEP FASHION INCLUDING SPRAYING A LAQUER COATING ONTO A PHOSPHOR COATING ON THE PANELS. THE FRONT PANELS ARE LOADED IN A FRONT-SIDE-UP ATTITUDE ONTO AN ANNULAR ENDLESS CONVEYOR WHICH IS STEPPED AROUND A PLURALITY OF DISCRETE WORK STATIONS DISPOSED AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE CONVEYOR, EACH OF THE WORK STATIONS BEING ADAPTED TO PERFORMED AT LEAST ONE PREDETERMINED OPERATION ON THE PANELS. LACQUER APPLICATOR MEANS IS SITUATED IN AT LEAST ONE SAID WORK STATIONS FOR APPLYING A LACQUER COATING ON THE PANELS. ENCLOSURE MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR ENCLOSING THE LAQUER APPLICATOR AND ASSOCIATED DRYING STATIONS TO PREVENT ESCAPE OF LAQUER VAPORS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. VERTICALLY MOVABLE SHROUD MEANS ARE PROVIDED AT THE LAQUER APPLICATION STATION FOR ENSHROUDING THE PANELS DURING THE LAQUER APPLYING OPERATION TO MINIMIZE AIR CURRENTS WHICH MIGHT DISTURB THE SURFACE OF THE WET LACQUER.
