ELECTRIC LAMPS Fild July 11, 1957 IN VEN TORS DONHLD HRTHUR HOWLEJ JOHN W/LLOUGHBY 77/0 FIGHT n-r-r-oR E/ United Stat Pat n 2,999,180 ELECTRIC LAMPS Donald Arthur Howles and John Willoughby Thomas Wright, Leicester, England, assignors to The British Thomson-Houston Company. Limited, London, Eng-' land, a British company Filed July *11, 1957, Ser. No. 671,359
Claims priority, application Great Britain July 16, 1956 6 Claims. (Cl. 313-318) For lamps capable of passing a heavier current than,
that originally envisaged in the above referred to application lead wires of correspondingly larger diameter are.
employed. It maybe somewhat disadvantageous to return the ends of lead wires which have a diameter greater than 0.12" into the seal. The formation of loops and the subsequent bending of the loop portions raises problems due to the inherent stiffness of the wire and difliculty is experienced in getting the loops to nestle against the pinch, during which steps cracking the glass of which the pinch is formed is to be avoided.
We have now found that suitable contacts may be formed merely by bending the lead Wire tails back against the surface of the pinch leaving the free ends unsecured and relying on the rigidity of the heavier gauge wire to achieve positional stability of the contacts.
According to the present invention therefore, a capless electric lamp is provided which comprises a glass bulb, a flattened glass pinch sealed to close the bulb, a plurality of lead wires brought out through the glass pinch and bent back against the surface thereof to form contacts which are preferably flattened down on to said surface, said lead wires being of such thickness that the contacts are rigidly supported at the points at which the lead wires emerge from the glass pinch.
The invention may be better understood from the following description read with the accompanying drawing in which FIGURES l, 2 and 3 show three embodiments of a single filament lamp constructed in accordance with the present invention, and in which FIG. 4 is a plan view of the under side of the lamp illustrated in FIG. 1 showing the flattened glass pinch of the type used in connection with all of the lamps illustrated in the drawlug.
In the figures the invention is illustrated by a lamp; which comprises a glass bulb 1 the neck portion of which is formed into an external flattened pinch 4. A filament mount comprises a pair of lead wires 2 of a diameter rather larger than that usually encountered in lamps of this type maintained in spaced-apart relationship by a glass bead 3. As is well known in the art the wire from which the lead Wires 2 are formed is made compatible with the glass of the bulb, that is to say their relative coefficients of thermal expansion are matched to.
a considerable degree. In the manufacture of the lamps illustrated the lead wires 2 are introduced into the bulb 1 and an exhaust tube 6 is then introduced into the neck, which tube is maintained in position during the subsequent pinching operation of the neck portion of the bulb 1. In order that the exhaust tube 6 remains open at its inserted end during the pinching operation we have found that it assists in preventing the collapse of the exhaust tube to provide therein means such as a thin metal sleeve, rod of porous material -(e.g.iasbestos or carbon) 'or a coatingjof refractory material such as zirconium dioxide powder.
After the pinch 4 has been formed, those portions of.
the lead wires 2 external to the pinch are bent over against the side faces of the pinch in the manner shown:
in FIGURE 1. In FIGURE 1 the tail portions 5 of lead wires 2 are bent in opposite directions across the base of the pinch 4 and then upwards on each side face thereof. For convenience the lead wire tails are made long enough for their ends to be turned over into horizontal notches 7 formed on each side face of the pinch.
By this means the positional stability of the lead wire contacts due to their stiffness is supplemented.
, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3 the tail portions 5 of lead wires 2 are brought up round the end faces 8' of the pinch to leave the side faces of the pinch 4 entirley unobstructed to facilitate holding the lamp more rigidly in its holder should this be required.
The two horizontal notches 7 are formed in the glass pinch 4 during the pinching operation on the bulb side of the seal so that a spring clip type of holder which is envisaged for use with the lamp as well as making electrical contact with the tail portions 5 of the lead wires Zcan be so designed to locate with these notches to hold the lamp in position. In FIG. 3 the notches extend round the end faces of the pinch 4 if it is desired to tuck the lead wire tails 5 into it. Although notches are to move the position of thenotches 7 to across approximately the middle of the pinch 4.
In pressing the pinch itself it is preferred to place some restriction to lateral flow as the jaws close on the faces of the pinch in order to square up the ends of the pinch.
Lateral movement of the lamp in the holder can be restricted if desired by providing a suitable location on the faces (or ends) of the pinchperpendicular to the notches.
While we have described a lamp of the incandescent type it will be apparent that inasmuch as the invention relates more specifically to the base of the lamp the ends of the leads within the bulb need not be terminated by a filament but could for the purposes of making a neon indicator lamp or the like be the basis of a pair of electrodes.
The design and manufacture of the lamp according to the present invention offers several advantages among which are a shorter overall length for a given bulb size, and lower cost due to a reduction in the number of parts and steps in the process of making a complete lamp and no two-part lead.
