Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of high intensity, efficient incandescent lamps, reflectors, and a reflector system and method of making an efficient high intensity bulb and reflector system.
  • Incandescent lamps have been well known for several decades and have been employed in a wide variety of circumstances. In more commonplace applications the lamps have been optimized around considerations of fire safety, heat load, size, etc. In the medical field, the design of instruments which use light sources are evolving along with the light sources they employ. Unlike the commonplace applications of incandescent lamps, medical applications require a different set of considerations. For example, in a commonplace application where a higher intensity of light is required, the designer might increase the voltage of the lamp and its glass envelope size. However, in medical applications, increased voltage and current, and even lamp size may not be compatible with the medical instrument with which the light is used.
  • the bulb In medical instruments, the bulb must be adequately supported and protected from breakage. Not only would breakage interrupt the procedure, but shards of glass could be introduced into contact with the patient.
  • the bulb could be encased in an additional layer of translucent material, but such would cause a degradation of performance. This is especially true for white light having multiple frequencies which cannot be wavelength matched across a given thickness of material. Added covering materials would increase the heat load, diminish the light transmission, and would require more power for a given level of output. Greater power would, in turn, shorten the life of the incandescent bulb.
  • Recessing the bulb within a protective sheath for protection causes other problems. First, most of the light from the bulb which impinges on the walls of the sheath will otherwise be lost. Next, once the bulb is inserted within a protective sheath, it may be physically difficult to remove it from the sheath. Bulbs having protective metal envelopes, including bulbs with screw bases and which use the metal envelopes for reflectors are not able to gain sufficient structural stability from the metal envelopes. A sharp blow to the metal envelope could produce sufficient bending moment in the bulb to cause it to snap. Bringing the metal envelope closer to and in a supportive relationship with the bulb can defeat the reflector action of the metal envelope.
  • an incandescent light system could be custom designed.
  • the incandescent system should be amenable to cost effective mass production such that the cost of a light source to be used with any instrument should be virtually insignificant compared to the cost of the overall instrument.
  • a system should have good integrity, meet the requirements of the sensitive environment, typically a medical environment, and be easily and cost effectively produced in large numbers.
  • a reflector as set forth in claim 1 is provided.
  • Dependent claims 2 and 3 through 6 relate to a reflector base system and a lamp system, respectively.
  • Claim 7 relates to another embodiment of a reflector base system.
  • Claim 8 relates to a lamp system dependent on Claim 7.
  • Claim 9 relates to a process of manufacturing a lamp system.
  • the incandescent bulb and reflector system of the present invention includes a small incandescent lamp which is incorporated into a reflector base.
  • the reflector and base are two separate components which fit together to form the reflector base.
  • the glass envelope of the incandescent bulb is protected by a rim of the reflector portion which extends further in the direction of illumination than the maximum extent of the glass envelope.
  • a square notch is provided in the rim of the reflector portion of the reflector base to facilitate turning movement about the axis of the rim to facilitate the changing of the incandescent bulb and reflector system.
  • the reflector portion of the reflector base has a first portion which closely engages the lower portion of the glass envelope and a second portion which is formed into a reflector structure to direct light from the filament into a forward direction.
  • the base portion of the reflector base engages the reflector portion of the reflector base in several possible ways.
  • the base portion protects the incandescent bulb's leads and arranges the conductors in a configuration consistent with that of a socket or female connector into which the completed lamp assembly will fit.
  • the entire structure is only about 5.4 millimeters in diameter and 15.2 millimeters in length.
  • the small size not only provides compactness and light weight, but the ratio of length to width militates against breakage, even when roughly handled.
  • the filament of a small incandescent lamp is contained within a hollow cylindrical envelope that is closed at its front, or light emitting end.
  • a lens may be utilized at the front end to further project some of the light emitted by the filament and redirect it into a beam.
  • the filament is ideally be spaced back a short distance from the lens.
  • the inside of the base which forms the reflector sweeps extends rapidly away from the glass envelope at a point which balances the capture of light with the support requirements for the glass envelope.
  • the curvature of the reflector may be parabolic, elliptical or any shape which is necessary to re-direct the light and in any manner desired.
  • the transition from the first portion of the reflector base which holds the glass envelope to the second portion of the reflector base which forms the re-directive surface may have a circular lip such that the second portion containing the re-directive surface has a smaller inner diameter than the first portion which secures the bulb.
  • a cylindrical portion of minimum internal diameter may form a third portion extending between the relatively larger diameter first portion and a same diameter second portion.
  • an adhesive is utilized to securely mount the glass envelope within the reflector base at a point close enough to the light emitting end of the glass envelope that minimum bending moment is exerted on the forward portion of the glass envelope.
  • Adhesive is also typically employed to join the reflector portion to the base portion of the reflector base.
  • the manufacture of the lamp assembly of the present invention involves machining a length of bar stock to achieve both the bore and re-directive surface of the reflector portion.
  • the base portion is machine bored and typically has an exterior surface which is flush with the reflector portion.
  • the base portion has a threaded portion which is spaced apart from the central portion of either the base portion or the reflector portion so that it may be fitted within a wider range of female electrical sockets.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a small incandescent lamp 21 of a well known construction, typically used for flashlight bulbs.
  • the lamp 21 includes a filament 23 that is attached at either of its ends to filament support legs 25 and 27. This assembly is then enclosed in an envelope 29 of glass or other light transmissive material.
  • the envelope includes a hollow portion 31 closed at its front end by a lens 33 and closed at its rear end by the rear end portion 35 that the filament support legs 25 and 27 extend through.
  • the reflector base of a lamp assembly of the present invention is formed from two separate structures. Referring to FIGURE 2, a separate base 101 which interfits with several reflector portions (yet to be shown) is illustrated. The dimensions will be disclosed to give an idea of the very small size of the base 101 as well as to show the manner of interfitting with the reflector portions.
  • the base 101 has a central bore 103 adjacent an angled transition 105.
  • the other end of the angled transition 105 is adjacent a smaller rear internal portion 107.
  • the smaller rear portion 107 abuts an angular chamfer 109 which is slight in length and is positioned at an angle of about 45°.
  • the exterior of the base 101 includes a cylindrical forward exterior portion 111, a threaded rear exterior portion 113 and a separation portion 115 which clearly separates the cylindrical forward exterior portion 111 from the threaded rear exterior portion 113.
  • the internal diameter of the central bore is about 0.381 cm (0.185 inches).
  • the outer diameter of the cylindrical forward exterior portion of the base 101 is about 0,559 cm (0.218 inches).
  • the internal diameter of the smaller rear portion 107 is about 0,229 cm (0.094 inches).
  • the outer diameter of the separation portion 115 is about 0,31 cm (0.122 inches), and it has an axial length of about 0.114 cm (.045 inches).
  • This flat areas 117 and 119 will help to prevent cross threading which would be more prevalent with a threaded rear exterior portion 113 which would have had gradually arising threads. This is also important for positive engagement, especially where the completed lamp assembly is to be lowered into a cylindrically shaped socket and axially aligned due to the close fit of the interior portion of a socket with the exterior surface of a lamp assembly.
  • the length of the threaded rear exterior portion 113 is about 0,229 cm (0.090 inches).
  • the existence of the separation portion 115 will enable less criticality between the upper edge of a socket containing interior threads of the socket (not shown) and the radially flat surface 121 which forms the transition between the cylindrical forward exterior portion 111 and the separation portion 115.
  • FIGURE 3 a cross sectional view of a first embodiment of a reflector 131 fittable over the base 101 is shown.
  • Reflector 131 has an exterior surface 132 which has an axial length of about 0,112 cm (0.440 inches).
  • Reflector 131 has a reflector portion 133 which curves into an abrupt transition into a circular land 135 which represents the smallest diameter within the reflector 131.
  • Adjacent the land 135 is a radial surface 137 which forms the transition to a base 101 accommodation bore 139.
  • Accommodation bore 139 is ideally about 0,554 cm (0.218 inches) to match the outer diameter of the base 101.
  • the radial surface 137 will limit the maximum extent to which the base 101 may be received within the accommodation bore 139, which is its axial length of about 0.508 cm (0.200 inches).
  • the overall diameter of the reflector 131 is about 0,864 cm (0.340 inches).
  • the outermost portion of the reflector 131 forms a lip 141 having a nominal thickness of about 0,076 cm (0.03 inches).
  • one of a pair of square slots 143 is formed into the rim of the outermost portion of the reflector 131.
  • the square slots 143 have a width and depth of about 0,152 cm (0.06 inches), and oppose each other.
  • an end view, taken along line 6 - 6 of FIGURE 3 shows the relationship of the two square slots 143.
  • the surface of the land 135 can be seen along with the lip 141.
  • the transition from the square slots 143 to the reflector portion 133 can be clearly seen.
  • the square slots 143 are used with a tool which can engage the reflector 131 along with its attached base to rotate the lamp system of the present invention into and out of an electrical socket.
  • an installation tool 151 is shown.
  • the installation tool 151 is typically made of aluminum sheeting, about 0,127 cm (0.050 inches) thick.
  • the installation tool 151 is about 0,859 cm (0.338 inches) wide and about an inch or so tall.
  • a notch 153 exists at the center width of the end of the installation tool 151, and has a diameter of about 0,475 cm (0.187 inches) at its curving transition.
  • the half circle curvature is offset from the end of the tool 151 a distance of about 0,152 cm (0.060 inches), matching the depth of the square slots 143.
  • Notch 153 defines a pair of legs 155.
  • the legs 155 are intended to engage the square slots 143 which were shown in FIGUREs 3 and 4.
  • the notch 153 insures clearance with respect to lamp 21, which is necessary since the legs 155 extend below the lip 141 shown in FIGUREs 3 and 4.
  • FIGURE 6 illustrates the base 101 of FIGURE 2 assembled within the accommodation bore 139 of FIGURE 3 to form a lamp assembly 161.
  • both the base 101 and reflector 131 may be made of aluminum, brass, steel, stainless steel, any metallic compound, plastic, glass, or other ceramic material.
  • the reflector 131 is formed preferably with an automated milling machine, as is base 101. Once the reflector 131 is milled, the reflector portion 133 may be polished or metalized to form a highly reflective surface.
  • the reflector portion 133 may be parabolic, elliptic or a specialized contour, depending upon the requirements.
  • the reflector portion 133 will be configured to work in concert with the lens 33 to refocus light from the filament 23 to a common area.
  • the lamp 21 is first cemented within the base 101 using an adhesive.
  • the base 101 and lamp 21 assembly are inserted through the accommodation bore 139 of the reflector 131 and cemented in place, also preferably with an adhesive to form the lamp assembly 161.
  • the lamp 21 may have indentations 163 to accommodate the cementing of the lamp 21 to the internal portion of the base 101.
  • FIGURE 7 an alternative embodiment is shown in which the reflector 131 contains an expanded length land portion 165 which provides additional support to the lamp 21.
  • the lamp 21 may have indentations 167 to facilitate its being cemented to base 101, and may have indentations 169 to facilitate its being cemented to reflector 131.
  • FIGURE 7 also shows details of the internals of the lamp 21, including the use of a 0,025 cm (0.01 inch) welded nickel wire 171 and 173 to the leads 25 and 27, respectively. Also shown is an insulating tube 175 around the wire 171 which extends to the center terminal 43. Also note the permissible excess of adhesive 177 about the exterior of the base 101 at its interface with the reflector 131.
  • the other structures of FIGURE 7 are generally equivalent to the structures shown in FIGURES 2-6.
  • FIGURE 8 is a plan view of the exterior of the lamp assembly 161 shown in FIGUREs 6 and 7. Note the relationship of the base 101 and the reflector 131, and how the lamp 21 is recessed below the rim 141 of the reflector 131. The lamp 21 is, in this plan view taken from the side, only visible through the square slots 143.
  • FIGURE 9 a further embodiment of a reflector 181 which may be utilized with the base 101 is shown.
  • the reflector 181 will fit inside the internal diameter of the central bore 103 of base 101.
  • Reflector 181 has a central external portion 183 which ideally has an external diameter of about 0,47 cm (0.185 inches), small enough to fit within the central bore 103 of the base 101.
  • a radial surface 185 serves as a transition from the central external portion 183 to an outer portion 187 which has an outer diameter of 0,554 cm (0.218 inches), generally matching the outer diameter of the base 101.
  • the axial length of the outer portion 187 is about 0,127 cm (0.050 inches).
  • a reflector surface 189 extends from a rim 191 at the upper surface of reflector 181 to a point below the radial surface 185.
  • the axial length of the reflector 181 is about 0,762 cm (0.300 inches), so it will fit within the base 101 without having its lower rim 193 impinge upon the angled transition 105. This further means that radial surface 185 will engage the upper portion of the base 101 to limit the extent to which the reflector 181 will fit within the base 101. It is clear that in this configuration that the reflector 181 will provide the bulk of the support for the lamp 21.
  • the internal diameter of the reflector is about 0,3269 cm (0.1287 inches) in diameter which is seen to fit a different sized, smaller lamp 21 than was shown as supported by the 0.185 inch internal diameter of the base 101.
  • Reflector 181 has an internal surface 197 adjacent its reflector portion 189. Further, it is contemplated that the lamp 21 will, in the configuration of FIGURE 9, extend beyond the rim 191 of the reflector 181. This is permissible for instances where the lamp assembly to be shown in FIGURE 9 will be placed in a protective socket. Such extension may dictate a reflector portion 195 which is angled differently to take to account the forward location of the lens 33. Even though not shown in FIGURE 9, the reflector 181 may be fitted with the square slots 143 which were shown in FIGUREs 3 and 4.
  • the reflector 181 of FIGURE 9 is shown in place with respect to base 101 and with the lamp 21 to form a lamp assembly 201.
  • the lamp 21 is shown cemented into the inner surface 197 of reflector 181, with some adhesive excess 203 shown at the lower interface of these structures.
  • some adhesive excess 205 is shown at the lower interface between the reflector 181 and the base 101.
  • Also shown in FIGURE 10 is an elongated length of teflon tubing 207 which not only covers a portion of the lead 25 and the wire 171 where the lead 25 and the wire 171 are attached together.
  • the base 101 is fitted with the insulator 59, but shows the center terminal 57 in a position removed from the insulator 59, since in some applications the center terminal 57 may be dispensed with. This is particularly true where the base into which the lamp assembly 201 contains a spike or other adequate projection at its center.
