Abstract:
A less costly bulb-shaped fluorescent lamp with improved assembly efficiency is provided which prevents the impairment of product quality due to the change in color of a holder or the slipping off of a fluorescent tube from the holder decreased in resin strength. The fluorescent lamp includes a set of fluorescent tubes (1), filament coils (2) disposed at both ends of each fluorescent tube (1), a starter circuit (3) for activating the fluorescent tubes (1), a holder (4) for retaining the fluorescent tubes (1), and a case (5) containing the starter circuit (3). The holder (4) includes holes (4a) for receiving the fluorescent tubes (1), and a recess (4b) defined in a central portion of the holder and extended in the opposite direction of the fluorescent tubes (1).
Abstract:
A method for producing a lamp, comprising mounting a sleeve (9) onto a lead wire (6) drawn out of an eyelet (5a) of a base (5) of a lamp; and fusing the lead wire and the sleeve with the eyelet by plasma arc welding.
Abstract:
A method for producing a lamp includes forming a tubular portion (5d) that is protruded in an end of an eyelet (5a) of a base (5) of a lamp; drawing a lead wire (6) for supplying power out of the tubular portion (5d); and fusing the lead wire (6) and the tubular portion (5d) with the eyelet (5a) by plasma arc welding. This ensures that plasma arc can be discharged to the protruded tubular portion(5d) , and therefore the tubular portion and the lead wire are fused with the eyelet of the base satisfactorily and stably. In the present invention, a tubular sleeve can be used in place of the tubular portion (5d).
