摘要:
A metallic halide lamp has an envelope of silica glass defining a discharge chamber with a pair of pinch seals extending in opposite directions therefrom. A pair of tungsten electrode stems are partly buried in the respective seals and electrically connected to a pair of molybdenum lead wires via a pair of molybdenum foils which are wholly embedded in the pinch seals. The molybdenum foils have a recrystallization grain size of not more than about 50 .mu.m.

A method of manufacturing an arc tube for a discharge lamp device. The method comprises: inserting a first electrode assembly having an electrode, a molybdenum foil and a molybdenum lead wire connected integrally in series from a first open end of a glass pipe for the arc tube having a swollen chamber portion formed in a middle part in a longitudinal direction such that a tip of the electrode of the first electrode assembly is protruded into the chamber portion; introducing an antioxidant gas from a second open end of the glass pipe into the glass pipe; inserting the first open end of the glass pipe into a gas chamber to which the antioxidant gas is to be supplied; and pinch-sealing a first region including the molybdenum foil of the first electrode assembly in the glass pipe for a primary pinch seal with holding the first open end of the glass pipe in an antioxidant gas atmosphere.

The pinch-sealing for the first one of a pair of molybdenum foils is not performed by flowing inactive gas within a quartz glass tube like the prior art but performed in a manner that the lower end portion of the quartz glass tube 4 is sealed, and then and a pinch seal estimation portion 4b is squeezed by a pincher while air within the quartz glass tube is exhausted from the upper end portion thereof so that pressure within the quartz glass tube becomes in a negative pressure state of 100 torr or less and while heating the pinch seal estimation portion 4b. Accordingly, at the time of the squeezing, the inner wall surface 4c of the pinch seal estimation portion 4b thus heated is attracted to the molybdenum foil 12 side thereby to form fine concave and convex portions on the interfaces between the molybdenum foil 12 and the quartz glass tube 4, so that the molybdenum foil and the quartz glass tube are placed in an engaged state and the contact area therebetween is increased.

An electric discharge lamp apparatus incorporates: a metal lead support 36 which projects over the front surface of an insulating plug 30 made of synthetic resin, which supports the leading end of an arc tube 10 and which serves as a passage for electric power arranged to be supplied to the arc tube 10; and an insulating sleeve 38 which is made of ceramics formed into a pipe shape and through which the lead support 36 is inserted, wherein a predetermined gap S2 is provided between the insulating sleeve 38 and the lead support 36. Thus, insertion of the lead support 36 into the insulating sleeve 38 can easily be performed, and a dimension error of the insulating sleeve 38 can be absorbed. Since a bent portions 36a is provided for a portion of the lead support 36 into which the insulating sleeve is inserted, the insulating sleeve 38 and the lead support 36 can hermetically integrated with each other. Thus, rattle of the insulating sleeve 38 with respect to the lead support 36 can be prevented.

An insulating plug for an electric discharge lamp apparatus, includes: a front portion includes an outer cylindrical portion and an inner cylindrical portion, the inner cylindrical portion having a substantially unique thickness and an opening to receive an arc tube of an electric discharge lamp; a focusing ring extending from the outer cylindrical portion of the front portion; and a rear portion having a rear-end cylindrical portion and a center portion. The front portion, the focusing ring and the rear portion are integrally molded by injecting a synthetic resin into a mold from a gate of the mold, the gate facing the rear-end cylindrical portion of the rear porition of the insulating plug. Furthermore, the electric discharge lamp apparatus in which an arc tube is inserted into the opening of the insulating plug described above.

An electric discharge lamp apparatus which incorporates an arc tube 10 structured such that an enclosed glass bulb 12 of an arc tube body 11 is enclosed in an ultraviolet-ray shielding globe 20 and having a front end which is supported by a metal lead support 36 forwards extending from an insulating plug 30 provided with a focusing ring 34 and made of synthetic resin and which has a structure that a rear end of the globe 20 of the arc tube 10 is supported by a metal support member 50 secured to the insulating plug 30, wherein the metal support member 50 is constituted by a metal base plate 51 secured to the insulating plug 30 and forming a reference plane f2 running parallel to the focusing ring 34 on the front surface of the insulating plug and a metal vertically-holding member 60 (a slide plate 61 and an arc-tube holding band 71) integrally joined to the metal base plate 51 and arranged to vertically hold an electrically-discharge axis L of the held arc tube 10 with respect to reference plane f2 of the metal base plate 51 so that the electrically-discharge axis L of the arc tube 10 is accurately brought to a predetermined required position with respect to the focusing ring 34.

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.

A discharge bulb including: an arc tube having a light emitting portion constructed in a manner that a light emitting substance is enclosed therein by pinch-sealing the arc tube, and discharge electrodes are oppositely arranged therein; and a shroud glass tube hermetically sealing and covering the arc tube, so as to form a space between the shroud glass tube and the arc tube. And a water content or pressure of gas enclosed in the sealed space is specified.
