23 Claims.
My invention relates to electric lamps and the like, and to their manufacture. It is especially adapted to incandescent lamps of the double ended tubular type, although some of its features may advantageously be applied to other lamps. The invention also relates to the mounting and current connections of tubular lamps in service, and their combination end to end to give a substantially continuous line of light. In suitable forms, the invention afiords a tubular lamp in which the incandescent filament extends practically the whole length of the lamp, and in which the transparent tubular bulb or envelope extends unshaded substantially to the extreme ends of the lamp. Not only is the useful or luminous lamp length virtually undiminishedby the terminal and mounting devices at the ends, but a series of lamps can be mounted end to end practically without intervening structures that would interrupt the line of light. Such lamps are very simple and rugged in construction, and easy and economical to manufacture. Further features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description of species thereof and from the drawings.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section through an incandescent lamp of my invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective side view of the same lamp, with a mid portion broken out; Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a series of such lamps mounted end to end; Fig. 4 is a'perspective view of a mounting bracket for holding one end of the lamp; Figs. 5, 6 and 7 are side elevations of various steps in the process of manufacture of the lamp; Figs. 8 and 9 are sections on an enlarged scale of one end of the lamp during and after manufacture; Fig. 10 is a Vertical section through a modified lamp of my invention; Fig. 11 is a perspective view of a mounting bracket for the lamp of Fig. 10; and Figs. 12 and 13 are perspective side views of other modified lamps, each with part of one end in section.
The lamp shown in Figs. 1 and 2 has a tubular bulb or envelope 2|, of glass. To the ends of the tube 2| are sealed metal discs 22 and 23 which form end walls for the envelope and contact terminals for the lamp,--the ends of the filament 24 enclosed in the tube 2| being connected to these discs. In the lamp mount, one end of the filament 24 is attached to a. terminal wire 25 which is fused into the end of a glass rod 26, while the other end of the filament is attached to a spur wire 21 welded to a terminal wire 28 which is fused into the other end of the rod 26. The filament 24 is supported at intervals by wires 29 fused into the rod 26. The wires 25 and 28 are oifset at 30 to engage the tube 2| and keep the rod 26 from rattling against it.
The mount comprising the filament 24 and its supporting structure, may itself be mounted on the disc 22 by attaching to the disc the terminal wire 25. For this purpose, an intermediate portion of the wire 25 is bent at right angles and curved semi-circularly at 3| in contact with the disc 22, and welded thereto, thus connecting this end of the filament 24 to the disc. The other end of the filament 24 may be connected to the disc 23 by engagement of the wire 28 with the disc 23. For this purpose, the portion of wire 28 beyond the spur 21 is bent at an angle and curled into a coil 32 (of less than one full turn) whose plane is approximately perpendicular to the axis of the tube 2|, and whose convolution may engage inside a shoulder afforded by the tube wall or by the conformation of the disc 23. To assure a definite position of the mount in the tube 2|, prevent vibration of the mount, and assure ample contact pressure between disc 23 and terminal 28, the mount-or its filament-supporting structure-may be made resiliently compressible longitudinally. With a suitable resilient wire 28, its coil portion 32 beyond spur 21 will compress lengthwise of the tube 2| enough for this purpose, by deflecting sidewise of the coil. Thus localizing the compression of the mount beyond the spur 21 has the advantage of not affecting the proper tautness of the filament 24.
The discs 22 and 23 are preferably of a metal or alloy which has the same thermal coeflicient of expansion as glass and will adhere and seal easily to glass by fusion or thermal softening and pressure. For this purpose, I prefer an iron alloy containing about twenty-five per cent of chromium, and particularly an alloy marketed by the Allegheny Steel Company as Allegheny 55, of which the following is a typical percentage-by-weight analysis:

Afterthis, the disc 22 may be properly squared to the axis of the mount (filament 24), if necesary, by bending the wire 25 slightly one way or another. A ring of readily fusible powdered glas 36, specifically French sealing glass", is preferably placed on the tube-end seat of disc 22 inside the lip33; themountisinsertedinthetube 2| asin Fig. 6, and the disc is heated by flames from the annular burner 33 until the powdered glass is fused. Thereupon the lower end of the tube 2|, which may also have been heated by suitable flames, not shown, is pressed down on the disc seatintothefusedsealingglass. Airmayalso be blown into the upper end of the tube 2|, to expand its softened lower margin very slightly against the lip 33.

At this stage, the disc 23 may have a glass exhaust tube ll sealed thereto at its central opening as shown in Figs. 7 and 8,besides the ring of powdered glass 33.

Fig. 12 shows a lamp resembling that of Figs. 1 and 2, but with the discs 50, 5| abutting and sealed against the tube ends made protuberant by mere outward spherical embossing: Each of the terminal wires 52, 53 lies entirely in one plane, having a bent form resembling a fishhook. The lamp is shown as exhausted and tipped off from the side at 54. This lamp is adapted to be mounted between the brackets'36-36 of Figs. 3 and 4.
Fig. 13 shows a lamp (most nearly resembling that of Figs. 1-9) with two plain, flat end wall and contact discs 55, 56 abutting and sealed against the ends of its tube 51, and only the disc 55 welded to the terminal wire 58. The inward bevelled exhaust opening in the disc 56 has been sealed with a body or tip of glass 53 housed in the bevel of the opening, and even protruding inward slightly. This may be done.
by fusing off an exhaust tube (not shown) like that in Figs. 7 and 8very close to the disc, and carefully working the resulting glass inward into the opening, while still hot, with the air or a blow flame. This lamp may be mounted and held between the resilient connective brackets of Figs. 3 and 4, or in any other suitable holding means.
