Abstract
386,850. Discharge lamps. CEMACH, A., 88A, Mariahilferstrasse, Vienna. May 12, 1932, No. 13647. Convention date, May 18, 1931. [Class 39 (i).] An appliance for the treatment of the larynx with ultra-violet rays from a mercury-vapour lamp, the discharge space of which is arranged in a hollow permeable body such as of quartz glass, is characterized in that the hollow.body 2, with the enclosed lamp 3, is sharply curved and of such dimensions that it can be introduced into the larynx behind the epiglottis, whilst the arc produced is maintained in all positions of the appliance. One end of the body 2 fits within a metallic sleeve 1, the interior of which is separated from the body 2 by a partition 10. Cooling water flows via pipe 12 through the hollow body 2 and escapes through pipe 11. Current leads 6 are connected to the lamp, which, in the form shown, consists of a U-shaped tube 3, Fig. 3, of some suitable material such as quartz and containing mercury. The arc is started by tilting the lamp, the pressure of mercury vapour then sufficing to prevent the two mercury columns from coalescing. A small quantity of. gas, preferably a rare gas, may also be present in the sharply bent portion. The bore of the tube at the sharply bent portion may be narrowed considerably at one or more places. If desired, the hollow body 2 may be provided with an impermeable protective sleeve or coating 15, emission of rays being thereby restricted to the extreme end of the lamp. Alternatively, the greater part of the hollow body may be rendered opaque, a separate tip of transparent material being fitted. Types of lamps other than that shown may be employed. Thus, the discharge vessel which may be U-shaped, may contain a rare gas such as neon in addition to a drop of mercury, and one of the two electrodes may take the form of a hot electrode.
