Abstract:
A tension mask frame assembly for a color cathode-ray tube, the assembly comprising:a tension mask having a plurality of strips isolated from each other at predetermined intervals on a plate to form slots, and tie bars partitioning slots at a predetermined pitch interval by connecting adjacent strips to each other; and a frame supporting the tension mask, the frame comprising: a support member supporting a first side of the tension mask, the first side being longer than a second side of the tension mask; a first and second elastic members being coupled to the support member, the first and second elastic members being a predetermined distance from each other; and a reinforcing member having both ends coupling with the exterior side surface of the support member and a center portion contacting with the support member, the reinforcing member elastically restoring the support member in a direction where a tensile force is applied to the strips.
