本発明は蛍光ランプに係り、特に製作が容易な小形の蛍
光ランプ:/c関する。Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fluorescent lamp, and particularly to a small fluorescent lamp that is easy to manufacture.
本発明に関する蛍光ランプは特開昭59−87747に
記載されている。従来のランプの構造を第3図に示す。A fluorescent lamp relating to the present invention is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-87747. The structure of a conventional lamp is shown in FIG.

われる。発光管3の接続部6は、機械的強度を増すため
に設けられている。The outer tube 1 and the base portion 2 form an airtight space. The two arc tubes 3 have phosphor 4 coated on their inner surfaces, electrodes 5 are disposed at one end, and the other ends are connected by a connecting portion 6. The space inside the arc tube 3 and the space inside the outer tube 1 are continuous through the opening 7. A small amount of mercury and a rare gas are sealed inside the outer bulb, and the lamp emits light due to the discharge generated between the electrodes 5. This lamp takes advantage of its small size and is used as a replacement for light bulbs. The connecting portion 6 of the arc tube 3 is provided to increase mechanical strength.
蛍光ランプは量産品としての製造容易な構造が翁〈要求
される。従来技術で発光管の接続は円筒同志の接続なの
で技術的に4かしい。また、この接続方法は、接続部を
気密封じしたい場合、すなわち、開口部6を無くすある
いは別の場所につけたい場合に適さない。Fluorescent lamps require a structure that is easy to manufacture as a mass-produced product. In the conventional technology, the connection of arc tubes is technically difficult because they are connected between cylinders. Furthermore, this connection method is not suitable when it is desired to hermetically seal the connection portion, that is, when it is desired to eliminate the opening 6 or to attach it at a different location.
本発明の目的は、ニジ簡易かつ気密封じにも適した発光
管形状を提供することである。An object of the present invention is to provide an arc tube shape that is simple and suitable for hermetically sealing.
上記目的は1発光管の接続面を平面に近い形状にするこ
とにより達成される。The above object is achieved by making the connecting surface of one arc tube nearly flat.
発光管の接続部を平面にすること洗ニジ接触面が広くな
る。それによって、発光管同志の接続が容易かつ強固に
なる。また、それによって接続部を気密状にすることも
容易となる。By making the connection part of the arc tube flat, the contact surface between the discharge tubes becomes wider. This facilitates and strengthens the connection between the arc tubes. Moreover, it also facilitates making the connection part airtight.
以F1本発明の実施例を図によシ説明する。 Embodiments of the F1 invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
第1図(a)はランプの発光管を示し、その接続部側に
平面部8を設けたものである。平面部8は。FIG. 1(a) shows an arc tube of a lamp, in which a flat portion 8 is provided on the connecting portion side. The flat part 8 is.
ガラスを7JO熱軟化し、型で押せば容易にできる。It can be easily made by softening glass with 7JO heat and pressing it with a mold.

に、bAば良く、放電通路9の部分は気密状にして。Next, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the flat parts 8 are brought into contact with each other and heated and welded from below with a burner 11 or the like, thereby forming the discharge passage 9 and the opening 10 at the same time. Since the connection part is flat, this process is easy, and the contact surface is wide, so the connection is strong. FIG. 2 shows a self-ballasted fluorescent lamp constructed using the arc tube 3 manufactured as described above. The operating principle is exactly the same as the lamp of FIG. Openings 6 and 10 correspond. In the lamp of FIG. 2, the opening 10 may be located anywhere in the arc tube, and the discharge path 9 may be airtight.
発光管3のどちらか1つの屈曲部あるいは電極5側ある
いはその他の部分に孔を空けても良い。A hole may be made in one of the bent parts of the arc tube 3, on the electrode 5 side, or in other parts.

するとこのようなランプを装造することも容易となる。FIG. 4 shows another embodiment. This lamp is the same as the lamp shown in FIG. 2, except that the opening 10 is eliminated, the base 2 and the arc tube 3 are hermetically connected with a glass tube, etc., and the outer tube 1 is removed by q. Arrows in the figure indicate the path of the discharge. Making the connection part flat also makes it easier to assemble such a lamp.

開口部10は設けず、外管1を除いて第4図のような構
成にしても良い。ii. Figure 5 shows yet another embodiment, in which the number of arc tubes is increased to three in the lamp of Figure 2. Although this figure has been expanded to make the connection of the arc tube easier to see, the actual arc tube is arranged so that the straight portions form a regular hexagonal prism. In this case, the present invention is effective because one of the connection parts of the arc tube needs to be concave. The opening 10 may be located not at the connection but at other locations on the arc tube. Also,
The opening 10 may not be provided, and the outer tube 1 may be removed and the structure shown in FIG. 4 may be adopted.

本発明は、さらに発光管数を増加した場合も同様に有効
となる。The present invention is equally effective even when the number of arc tubes is further increased.
また、第1図に示す発光管3の平lfi部8は完全な平
面ではなく、接続部@而をだ円形に伸ばして。Furthermore, the flat LFI portion 8 of the arc tube 3 shown in FIG. 1 is not completely flat, but the connecting portion is extended into an oval shape.
平面に近い形状にしてもよい。It may have a shape close to a flat surface.
また発光管の形状もU字形に限らない。Further, the shape of the arc tube is not limited to the U-shape.
