3 Claims. 176-38) Our invention relates to incandescent lamps, standard base l Additional support is provided radio tubes and other electrical devices enclosed for the mid-portion of the filamentll by the within a sealed bulb or cohtainenand more-par wire ll'which is looped thereabout and has one ticularly to the attachment of the filament orend embedded in the button on the end: of the 5 other resistance element of said devices to the glass arbor I! extending from the stem I 4." 5
inner leads thereof. In this particular instance the filament H is v Usually the filament or the resistance element of coiled-conform, as shown in Fig. 2, and has v of such electric devices is connected to the inner its singly coiled end portions 20 clamped in hooks 7 leads by means of hooks formed by bending back 2| formed on the ends of the lead-in wires l2 10 the end portions of said leads which are closed and 13. Each hook 2|, as shown in the enlarged 10 on the ends of said filament or resistance. When view of lead-in l2 shown in Fig. 2, is formed from the ends of the filament are coiled, the hooks are a flattened, end portion of said lead-in wire closed only enough to hold therfilament securely; which is bent back on itself and which, in this in order to avoid crushing and probable injury instance, is provided on its inner surface with 1 l5 thereto. To close the-hooks the correct amount longitudinal ridges 22 which engage the turns of has, however; proven very diilicult and the said the end portion of the filament. The ridges 22 hooks are some timesnot closed tightly enough are not necessarily spaced the same distance to hold the filament. This condition occurs most apart as the coils of the end portion 20 of the often when the filament and leads are brought filament but tend to hold said filament securely,

The hooks are not closed tight wire. Another object is to provide a lead-in wire 1y since the coils of the filament ends 20 would with a filament-engaging hook so formed as to be crushed and very likely injured. However, the
