摘要:
A double-enveloped lamp assembly includes a light-source capsule subject to burst on rare occasions, a light-transmissive shield substantially surrounding the light-source capsule for absorbing and dissipating a portion of the energy when the light-source capsule bursts, a mesh of substantially nonconducting fiber for reinforcing the shield, and a light-transmissive outer envelope. The mesh is fabricated of ceramic fibers having sufficient strength to reinforce the shield. Since the fibers are nonconducting, sodium migration is minimized. The ceramic fiber mesh is particularly useful for high wattage lamps where thick-walled outer envelopes are not practical.

A low wattage metal halide discharge lamp (5) includes an evacuated envelope (7) wherein is disposed a heat reducing member (25) having an arc tube (33) therein. The heat reducing member and the arc tube have a metal band (31) and outer strap member (39) adjacent one another and adjacent an electrode (35) with the metal band, strap member and electrode all electrically connected to an electrical lead (13) of one polarity whereby sodium losses from the arc tube are reduced.

An improved metal halide discharge lamp having an outer envelope wherein is disposed an arc tube, a cylindrical member that prevents shard dispersion upon fracture of the arc tube and frame means. The arc tube and cylindrical member are both supported within the lamp by the frame means. The frame means is comprised of a single wire member having a small circular portion, a helical portion and a substantially straight portion. The straight portion may have a small wire attached thereto, in order to secure the cylindrical member in place when the member positioned within the helical portion of the frame means. The arc tube is electrically coupled to the frame means and is concentric to the cylindrical member.

An electric discharge lamp has an arc tube within an outer gas filled glass envelope and a thermal switching means (47) is located within the outer envelope. The thermal switching means has a silica support (53) with a pair of electrical conductors affixed (51, 55) thereto and a bimetal strip (57) and a spring-like member (61) are affixed to at least one of the electrical conductors, whereby upon application of heat the bimetal strip (57) and spring-like member (61) are flexed to short-circuit the electrical conductors and remove any D.C. potential between the main electrode and the starting electrode minimizing electrolysis.
