Abstract:
A light bulb (1), equipped with an illumination body (7), which is enclosed together with a filler (2) in a vacuum in a bulb. The illumination body (7) includes a metal carbide, whose melting point lies above that of tungsten. The bulb also contains carbon, hydrogen and fluorine, preferably in combination.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a light bulb (1) comprising an illumination body (7), which is inserted, together with a filler material, into a bulb (2) in a vacuum-tight manner. The illumination body (7) has a metal carbide, whose melting point lies above that of tungsten. The current supply (10) is configured in two parts from a first section (6) and a second section (15). The first section is configured integrally with the illumination body (7) and consists of a wire and the second section, which functions as the actual current supply (15) is produced from a highly heat-resistant material.
Abstract:
Sealing foil for making a lamp (1), comprising a metallic base body made from molybdenum and a coating which has been applied to at least part of the base body and which contains chromium, rhenium or ruthenium, alone or as an alloy, the foil being formed as a stack comprising two parts (10, 11) which have a different coating.
Abstract:
Electrical incandescent lamp, in particular a halogen incandescent lamp (4) having a lamp bulb (5) which has a coating (9) that reflects IR radiation, and having a flat luminous body (10) which defines a fictional plane of the light and is arranged inside the lamp bulb (5). The shape of the lamp bulb (5) with respect to those axes which lie in the plane of the light have no rotational symmetry, but the lamp bulb (5) in fact has a shape which differs from rotational symmetry but is matched to the flat geometry of the luminous body (10), that is to say a flattened shape, in particular the shape of an ellipsoid, whose shortest half-axis is oriented at right-angles to the fictional plane of the light of the luminous body (10).
Abstract:
An electric incandescent lamp (4), in particular an incandescent halogen p, has a bulb or envelope (5), which is shaped as an ellipsoid or optionally ellipsoidlike (barrel-shaped body) and provided with an IR layer (8). Located inside the bulb (5) axially is a compact filament (2') of circular-cylindrical outer contour; the focal lines of the ellipsoid-like barrel-shaped body each coincide approximately with the last luminous winding on the two ends of the filament. This improves lamp efficiency. The compact filament is preferably in the form of a helical coil (2'), whose power supply lead (10b) remote from the seal is returned to inside the helical coil (2'), or is shaped like a double helix.
Abstract:
To reduce flicker in low-power, high-pressure discharge lamps, the electrs, in the region in which they face each other, have wrap windings, of about 2 to 4 turns wrapped thereabout and the terminal end of the electrode has an essentially spherical end head element (19, 19', 39) melted thereon, which essentially spherical head element may be a segment of a sphere, ellipsoid-shaped or similarly formed. The electrode shaft, the wrap winding and the sphere preferably are all made of undoped tungsten, although the electrode shaft may be of a lower melting metal, such as rhenium.
Abstract:
A high pressure discharge lamp has a ceramic discharge vessel (8), whose s are closed with plugs (11). The metallic feedthrough, or a main part of it, has a thermal coefficient of expansion which is smaller than the coefficient of the ceramic. The current feedthrough is gas-tightly sintered directly into the plug.
Abstract:
To protect tungsten electrode shafts (2, 3; 15, 16) extending into the a rtz glass discharge chamber (13, 27) of a high-pressure discharge lamp from attack by metal halides included in the fill to improve the color rendition of the discharge, the electrode shafts (2, 3; 15, 16) are tightly surronded by small tubes (11, 12; 25, 26) of electrically insulating material, which is highly temperature resistant, located in part within the press seal (10; 23, 24) and fitted against the ends of sealing foils (6, 7; 19, 20) which face the discharge chamber. The tube elements extend at least about 0.5 mm beyond the inner ends of the press seal (10; 23, 24) into the discharge chamber (13, 27) and are formed of a material which has a thermal coefficient of expansion which is not lower than that of quartz glass and not higher than that of tungsten.
