Abstract: A low pressure arc discharge lamp with an end-of-life structure is disclosed. The lamp has a discharge tube with sealed ends, and the sealed ends contain a filament for forming a discharge arc. The filament is supported by lead-in wires. The discharge lamp further comprises a connecting element made of an insulating material which transversally connects the lead-in wires within the discharge tube. The transversal dimension of the connecting element is chosen so as not to allow the discharge arc beyond the connecting element upon end-of-life of the discharge lamp.

Abstract: This invention concerns a compact fluorescent lamp with a double helix shaped discharge tube in which the two strands of the helix are constituted by two helix shaped tube portions. These tube portions define a central axis of the discharge tube. The double helix formed by the discharge tube has a central section and a first end section. These sections are defined along the central axis, and the lamp base for receiving ends of the tube portions is disposed at the first end section. An inner diameter of the central section of the helix is larger than an inner diameter of the first end section. The invention further relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing coiled shaped discharge tubes, in particular the above described discharge tube of the discharge lamp. A radially segmented molding core is used for manufacturing the discharge tube. Once the coiling of the discharge tube on the molding core is completed, the segmented molding core is shrunk radially, and then is withdrawn from the coiled discharge tube axially.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及具有双螺旋形放电管的紧凑型荧光灯，其中螺旋的两股由两个螺旋形管部构成。 这些管部分限定放电管的中心轴线。 由放电管形成的双螺旋具有中心部和第一端部。 这些部分沿着中心轴线限定，并且用于容纳管部分的端部的灯座设置在第一端部处。 螺旋的中心部分的内径大于第一端部的内径。 本发明还涉及用于制造盘绕放电管的方法和装置，特别是上述放电灯的放电管。 径向分段的成形芯用于制造放电管。 一旦完成了成型芯上放电管的卷取，则分段成型芯径向收缩，然后轴向从卷绕的放电管中取出。
