    摘要: A method of manufacturing an arc tube for a discharge lamp unit, incorporating a primary pinch-sealing step for mounting an electrode assembly in an open end of a glass tube W with a chamber portion 12. The electrode assembly comprises an electrode rod 6, a connecting foil 7 and a lead wire 8 integrally connected in series. The electrode assembly is inserted into an open end of the glass tube W such that a leading end of the electrode rod projects into the chamber portion 12. A temporary pinch seal region L1 of the glass tube W is pinch-sealed such that a portion of the connecting foil that is connected to the lead wire is contacted by the glass tube W. A vacuum is maintained inside the glass tube and a main pinch seal region L2 of the glass tube is pinch-sealed such that a portion of the connecting foil connected to the electrode rod is contacted by the glass tube. When the main pinch seal region L2 of glass tube W is pinch-sealed, the negative pressure in the glass tube W is exerted on the softened sealed chamber portion 12 owing to supplied heat as well as the pressure exerted from the pincher 26b. Thus, the glass layer 15 is pressed against the surface of the molybdenum foil 7 so that hermetic contact is realized.

    摘要: An arc tube provided with a central sealed chamber 12, in which light-emitting substances are enclosed, having a pair of electrode assemblies disposed opposite to each other. The electrode assemblies are sealed in pinch seal portions 13. The arc tube incorporates a residual-compressive-stress layer 16 formed on a surface of the glass layer 15 in each of the pinch seal portions 13 that contacts the electrode rod 6 included in each electrode assembly. The residual-compressive-stress layer has a length greater than or equal to 30% of the axial length of a glass layer region that only contacts the electrode rod 6 and/or an angular range greater than or equal to 180° in a circumferential direction of the electrode rod. Thermal stress (tensile stress) produced in the boundary between the glass layer 15 and the electrode rods 6 after the arc tube 10 has been turned on is absorbed and dispersed by the residual-compressive-stress layer 16 surrounding the electrode rods 6. Thus, any vertical crack that would result in the light-emitting substances leaking from the sealed chamber does not form in the glass layer 15 of the pinch seal portions 13.

    摘要: An arc tube body 20 and a foil such as molybdenum foil 30 are joined with each other such that a compressive stress of 105 N/m2 or more remains at an ordinary temperature in the arc tube body 20 along a junction surface. The compressive stress is always generated on the arc tube body 20 even if a fluctuation in the stress is caused on the junction surface by the repetition of the ON/OFF of the arc tube (or a tensile stress is caused to have a very small value even if the compressive stress and the tensile stress are alternately generated). Thus, the junction strength of both members may be increased. In one embodiment, a plurality of cracks (intercrystalline cracks) may be generated on the molybdenum foil 30 by a high pressure acting during pinch seal, and quartz glass is caused to enter the cracks so that the junction strength of both members can be increased.

    摘要: An arc tube, which is capable of prolonging the life thereof by preventing occurrence of a leak caused from a crack of an arc-tube body, has the average surface roughness of each of outer surfaces 26Aa and 26Ba of tungsten electrodes 26A and 26B pinch-sealed to pinch seal portions 20b1 and 20b2 on the two sides of a light-emission tube 20a of an arc-tube body 20 is set to be 3 μm or smaller. Thus, the state of pinch-sealing of the tungsten electrodes 26A and 26B to the pinch seal portions 20b1 and 20b2 is brought to a state in which the two elements are engaged with small pits and projections. Therefore, great compressive stress is not left in the region adjacent to the joint surface between the pinch seal portions 20b1 and 20b2 and the tungsten electrodes 26A and 26B as distinct from the conventional structure. In a case where a crack of the arc-tube body 20 is formed owing to the residual compressive stress, the crack is limited to a local portion which is the region adjacent to the joint surface. As a result, the crack is not enlarged to reach the surface of the arc-tube body 20.

    摘要: The amount of a metal halide to be enclosed in a generally ellipsoidal discharge space 24 within a discharge vessel 20a is set in the range 0.006-0.01 mg per unit volume (&mgr;l) of the discharge space 24. If the amount is less than 0.01 mg/&mgr;l, the deposit of metal halide 32 on the inner surface of the discharge space 20a in its lowest position midway between the narrow end portions thereof will not cause “shunting” of the arc between the electrodes 26A, 26B. As a result, the arc is effectively prevented from fizzling out after the metal halide lamp is switched on. To ensure that the metal halide lamp produces the intended luminous flux and color of light, the amount of the metal halide to be enclosed in the discharge space 24 should not be lower than 0.006 mg/&mgr;l.

    摘要: An arc tube that effectively prevents a metal halide from being deposited in a light emitting tube portion, causing the change of a light emitting color or the generation of lighting failures in an arc tube. An axial distance L1 from a neck portion 20C of an arc tube body formed between a light emitting tube portion 20A and a pinch seal portion 24B of the arc tube body to a step-down plane portion 20Ba2 of each pinch seal surface 20Ba in a pinch seal portion 20B is set to 1 mm or less. During pinch seal, consequently, a sufficient pinching pressure is applied to a electrode 26, such as a tungsten electrode up to a portion close to a tip portion thereof. Thus, it is possible to reduce the volume of an almost wedge-shaped slit 24a formed around the tungsten electrode 26 on an end in the axial direction of a discharge space 24, thereby decreasing the amount of a metal halide deposited on the slit 24a.
