Generally, in light bulbs, it is necessary to obtain sufficient airtightness at the sealing part of the glass enclosure through which the conductive member extends, but the formation of this sealing part is particularly important in the light bulb manufacturing process. This is difficult, especially because the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials of the normal sealing glass and the conductive member are different, or the two do not fit well, so it is not possible to directly connect the two in an airtight manner.
Therefore, a special structure is required in forming the sealing part.

That is, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, a conductive member is constructed by welding an internal lead-in wire 2 and an external lead-in wire 3 to both ends of a metal foil 1 made of molybdenum. The metal foil 1 is placed inside the sealing part forming end 5 of the glass tube 4 which is the sealing material.
is held together with the glass tube 4 so that the
After heating and softening the sealing portion forming end 5 of the glass tube 4, it is pressed against both sides of the metal foil 1 using, for example, a pinch sealing machine 6, thereby forming a seal as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. Then, the glass of the sealing part forming end 5 is brought into close contact with both surfaces of the metal foil 1 to form the bulb sealing part 7.

However, in forming the bulb sealing part 7 by such a method, since the glass at the sealing part forming end is forcibly deformed, distortion inevitably occurs in the glass of the bulb sealing part 7 to be formed. This distortion causes cracks to occur, making it impossible to obtain a long service life.Moreover, the metal foil 1 must be properly positioned within the sealing portion forming end 5 where the bulb sealing portion 7 is formed. This requires a particularly high degree of precision in positioning the metal foil 1, and the conductive member must be constructed of a welded assembly of the metal foil 1 and lead-in wires 2 and 3.As a result, the electric bulb The disadvantage is that the manufacturing process as a whole becomes complicated.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG .
A glass tube 4 made of alumina silicate is used, held so that its tube axis The glass tube 4 is held so as to protrude from the lower end opening 9, and in this state, the outer peripheral surface of the lower end portion 10 of the glass tube 4 surrounding the lead-in wire 8 is oxidized by a gas burner 11 of oxygen/propane gas, for example. It is melted by heating in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas as a protective gas for prevention, and further heating is continued to form the bulb sealing part 7. That is, the bulb sealing portion 7 is formed without using a pinch sealing machine.

Therefore, in the present invention, since the glass tube 4 is made of alumina silicate with a coefficient of thermal expansion of 42 to 42.5×10 -7 /°C, it is extremely compatible with the lead-in wire 8 made of molybdenum. By simply continuing the heating described above, the molten mass comes into contact with the portion of the lead-in wire 8 that was surrounded by the lower end portion 10 of the glass tube 4, and the lower end opening 9 is closed. Therefore, the bulb sealing part 7 has sufficient airtightness without requiring any special structure such as a welded metal foil joint or a glass brazed lead-in wire as a conductive member, or any special means such as a pinch seal.
can be formed. Furthermore, the bulb sealing portion 7 formed in this manner is free from distortion because it is not subjected to any forced deformation. and,
Glass made of alumina silicate, which has a thermal expansion coefficient of 42 to 42.5×10 -7 /°C, and molybdenum have very similar thermal expansion coefficients. The airtightness is not impaired even under temperature changes of 7.

Furthermore, the present invention does not require a complicated structure such as a welded joint of metal foil 1 as a conductive member, and only a rod-shaped lead-in wire 8 is sufficient, and the glass of the bulb sealing part 7 has no distortion. In addition, since it is rod-shaped, the lead-in wire 8 can be easily and reliably aligned on the tube axis X of the glass tube 4 in the process of forming the bulb sealing part. Since the lead-in wire 8 is rod-shaped, the portion to be sealed is not particularly limited in the length direction, and the manufacturing process of the light bulb is greatly simplified as a whole.
