ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus 50 for pre-stressing a material of a CRT tension mask 24 to induce creep. The apparatus 50 includes a support frame 52 having a first major surface 54 and an oppositely disposed second major surface 56. A boss 58 is provided on the first major surface 54. A primary clamp 60 having a first jaw 62 is spaced from the boss 58 and attached to the first major surface 54. The primary clamp 60 further includes an adjustable second jaw 64 communicating with the first jaw 62 to clamp the material of the mask 24 therebetween. A movable secondary clamp 70 is located in proximity to the boss 58. The secondary clamp 70 has a third jaw 72 attached to an axle 74 that is disposed within an elongated aperture 82 formed in a support post 84 attached to the support frame 52. An adjustable fourth jaw 86 communicates with the third jaw 72 to clamp the mask material therebetween. A cam 78 having a boss engaging surface 90 is secured to the axle 74. A lever arm 93, having a proximal end 94 and a distal end 96, is attached by its proximal end to a side of the cam 78. The distal end 96 of the lever arm 93 includes a notch 98 for supporting a weight 100 therefrom to apply stress to the shadow mask material.
