Definitions

  • the thickness of the layers may be difierent:
  • the thickness of the conductive coating does not exceed 50 microns, the thickness of the enamel usually amounting to 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
  • the coefficients of expansion of the glass of the tube wall, of the enamel and of the coating must be adapted to each other. Solely in the case of these layers being extremely thin a difference in coefiicient of expansion is permissible. This holds in the case of thicknesses of the coating of less than 10 microns and thicknesses of the layer of enamel of the order of magnitude of 0.1 mm. and less.
  • the invention may be used very advantageously with'discharge tubes having a fiat glass bottom on to which a thin foil, for instance of chromeiron, is applied by means of enamel.
  • enamel use may be made of various vitreous materials-
  • use may be made of a combination of lead glass or lime glass and a lead-borate enamel having a composition: 65% by weight of PhD, 22.4% by weight of B203 and 12.6% by weight of S102; in this case the coefficients of expansion of the glass and the enamel substantially agree, chrome iron being a very suitable coating material. In this event these coefficients of expansion are about to x10.
  • the shielding means may be fastened with the aid of enamel having the following composition: 17% by weight of SiOz, 23% by weight of BzOa, 25% by weight of PhD, 10% by weight of ZnO and 25% by weight of M1102. If in this case a metal must be chosen, whose coefiicient of expansion is substantially matched to that of the glass and the enamel, the coating may, for instance, consist of tungsten or molybdenum.
  • Fig. 1 is a section of the fiat bottom of an electric discharge tube according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a plan thereof.
  • the reference number I denotes the flat bottom of an electric discharge tube into which is sealed a certain number of supply conductors 2.
  • a chrome iron shielding foil 3 which is secured to the bottom by means of a thin layer 4 of enamel.
  • this ioil' is furnished witlia tag- 5 which: is welded to one of the contact members 2; In" this way the contact between the shielding means and the supply conductor is established veryeasily also when making uselvofrthis; shielding; 1
  • vitreous enamel having a: thickness between about 0.1 mm. and aboutllbvmm. between said foil and said vitreous envelope porti'onbindling said foil thereto.
  • An electric discharge device comprising a vitreous envelope portion; a foil of chrome iron 4..

  • an electric discharge tube which includes an envelope, the combination comprising; a hard glass portion of said envelope; a conductive foil oftungsten having a thickness of less than about 50 microns overlying at least apart of said. hard glass portion; and a layer of vitreous enamel consisting by weight of essentially about 17% of S102, 23 of. B203, 25% of P30, about 10% of ZnO and about 25% of MnOz and having a thickness between about 0.1 mm. and about 0.5 mm. between said tungsten foil: and said hard glass envelope portion binding" said foil thereto.
