HALIDE INCANDESCENT LAMP Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; general-purpose low-power halide lamps operating in arbitrary position. SUBSTANCE: halide incandescent lamp has tubular bulb with luminous element arranged along its axis and stamped in lamp pins; luminous element incorporates high-melting metal mounts disposed on holder; lamp also has current lead incorporating external lead, current-conducting foil, and internal link; luminous element is joined at stamping points through current-conducting foil to external lead of lamp and to internal link; holder for mounts is made in the form of bridge carrying embedded mounts of which two extreme ones are facing opposite sides relative to other mounts and relative to each other; they are rigidly fixed in current- conducting foil; remaining mounts are provided with eye for passing luminous element which is connected to internal link of current lead through bushing. EFFECT: enhanced mechanical strength and reliability due to eliminating sag of luminous element; enlarged functional capabilities. 1 dwg
