摘要:
An electric lamp has elongated metal foils as a part of the current conductor lead-throughs. Each metal foil has major surfaces which meet one another along each opposing side edge of the foil at an acute angle. The metal foil has a cross-section transverse to the side edges. At least one of the major surfaces has a pair of concave curvature portions each adjoining a respective side edge, and a convex curvature portion extending between the pair of concave curvature portions.

To increase the high-voltage resistance of a metal halide high-pressure dharge lamp, the external leads (6, 6', 6") are spaced wider apart than previously at their exit point from a pinch seal (3', 23', 23"). To facilitate manufacture, and to permit the widened spacing of the electrodes, the lamp portion (3) which will form the pinch seal is pre-heated in a first step and deformed into elongated oval cross section, leaving enough space to introduce a subassembly formed of the electrode connecting leads (6), internal electrodes (7) and molybdenum sealing foils (9); the sealing foils (9) may then already be located with a spacing which is increased with respect to spacing usually customary in the prior art. The external connecting leads (6) are secured to the sealing foils (9) so that attachment points extend at right angle to the sealing foils; the attachment leads can be angled within the press seal (FIG. 1e) or the angled portions of the connecting leads (6') can extend through lateral slits formed in the press seal outside of the lamp, to be then angled off (FIG. 2b) or to extend laterally (FIG. 2c) from the pinch or press seal (3', 23', 23").

The lamp has a pinch seal which surrounds a mounting structure carrying l-in wires of the filament;the front face (7) terminating the lamp envelope end forms substantially a plane, and is arranged at right angle to the generated surface of the lamp envelope (1) with the transition of these two surfaces to one another being substantially in the shape of a circumferential edge,the length of the pinch seal (2) extending from the front face (7) on the axis of the lamp envelope is from 0.2 to 0.4 times the external diameter of the lamp envelope (1),and the width of the pinch seal is close to the external diameter of the lamp envelope. To form this shape, the lamp is introduced into a die, with the envelope softened and, during execution of the pinch operation, excess gas pressure is applied to the interior of the lamp envelope so that the lamp envelope will accurately follow the shape of the pinch jaws similar to a blow-molding operation. The excess gas can be introduced into the lamp envelope for example through an exhaust tube forming part of the mounting structure, which is later on used for exhaustion and filling of the lamp and then sealed off.

A THIN REFRACTORY METAL RIBBON IS COMPLETELY EMBEDDED IN THE PRESS SEAL OF A HIGH SILICA GLASS LAMP ENVELOPE. ONE END OF THE RIBBON IS SECURELY HELD WITHIN A LONGITUDINAL SLOT OF LAMP LEAD-IN WIRE, THEREBY ESTABLISHING PHYSICAL AND ELETICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE RIBBON AND THE LEADIN WIRE.
摘要:
Molybdenum foils for pinch sealing into quartz are etched using shields which protect selected welding areas at each end from the action of the electrolyte. Etching provides feathered edges all around but leaves thicker areas under the shields to which the inleads and electrodes are welded without any need for extra tabs to facilitate welding or to increase the current-carrying capacity. In a preferred foil-inlead construction, the inlead and electrode have spade ends coextensive with the thicker areas in the foils to which they are welded.
