Abstract
A method and apparatus for molding a video display screen bezel to a video display device, such as a CRT, is disclosed. The bezel is molded in such a way as to eliminate the need for fasteners between the bezel and the CRT and between the bezel and a housing or some other structural support. The molded bezel also prevents any undesirable shifting of the CRT with respect to the bezel due to accidental dynamic loads. The molding material conforms to the surface of the CRT compensating for any dimensional variations in the CRT while minimizing the size of the bezel. Molded within the bezel is a compensating means which absorbs stresses generated by the molding material both during and following the molding process which might otherwise be exerted on the CRT.
