Definitions
- This invention relates to a screw-in end plug for use in the filament assembly of an incandescent lamp.
- screw-in end plugs are commonplace in tungsten halogen lamp manufacture.
- the plugs are short sections of wound tungsten which screw in to the ends of a filament, providing a link between the active filament and the current lead. They are used routinely in monoplane, biplane and other multi-limb studio halogen filaments such as those made by GE Lighting.
- the level up to which the plug is screwed is important, since this will determine the active (or lit) length of filament wire in the assembly. This needs to be as closely controlled as possible since it is one of the major input variables which determines the primary lamp performance parameters (power consumption, light output, colour temperature, life etc.). Typically, this dimension is given a tolerance of ⁇ 0.3mm, yet during assembly is controlled visually by judgement with the naked eye, hence is prone to error and demands a very high skill level.
- Another important variable is the length of the end plug which is exposed below the filament. This needs to be controlled to typically ⁇ 0.5mm to ensure that the filament fits the filament support bridge consistently with the correct amount of tension. At present, the length of exposed plug is determined by trimming with wire cutters, again using the naked eye to judge the trimming point.
- This invention enables each of the above problems to be addressed.
- a filament assembly for an incandescent lamp including a helically coiled filament and a helically coiled end plug engaging an end of the filament, the end plug comprising a coil having a first section with a diameter and pitch adapted to engage in the end of the filament coil, and a second section having a pitch different from the pitch of the first section.
- the invention also provides a method of assembling a filament assembly in accordance with the preceding paragraph, comprising screwing the first section of the filament plug into the end of the filament until a resistance is encountered as a result of the difference in pitch between the first and second sections of the end plug.
- the end plug comprises a helical coil of wire, which differs from any existing plugs in that it comprises sections having at least two different pitches.
- Fig 1 shows an example of a screw-in end plug 10 which consists of a helical coil of wire, typically of tungsten, with a first section 11 have a first, relatively closely wound, pitch, and a second section 12 having a second, less closely wound pitch.
- the first and second sections are conveniently of the same diameter, but may be of different diameters.
- the screw-in end plug 10 is used, as shown in Fig 2, to mount a filament 13 on a current lead 14.
- the first section 11 of the end plug has a pitch which enables the plug to screw into the end section of a given helical filament
- the second section 12 has a pitch which prevents the plug from being screwed beyond a pre-determined length inside the end of the filament 13.
- the pitch of the second section of the plug is such that it can be mounted onto the current lead wire 14 which may be bent up to an angle of more than 60 degrees.
