Mullins Attorney-Eyre, Mann & Lucas [5 7] ABSTRACT A two-terminal, two-color indicator lamp assembly comprising two separately energizable filaments positioned behind different-colored portions of the lamp envelope along the line of sight. The lamp envelope is mechanically connected to a pair of terminals to form a telephone slide base, and a pair of diodes is interconnected between said terminals and said filaments to enable energization of one filament only when the polarity of the first terminal is positive with respect to the polarity of the second terminal, and to enable energization of the other filament only when the polarity of said second terminal is positive with respect to the first terminal.
6 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures TWO-TERMINAL, TWO-COLOR INDICATOR LAMP ASSEMBLY The present application relates to a two-terminal, two-color indicator lamp assembly having the capability of providing light signals of different colors in response to the application of voltages of opposing polarities across the terminals. More specifically, the lamp assembly disclosed herein comprises an envelope having first and second filaments and related support means enclosed therein, with the filaments being positioned behind different-colored portions of the viewing surface of the envelope. The first and second terminals are mechanically connected to the lamp envelope, and first and second diodes are interconnected between first and second filaments and the first and second terminals to enable energization of the first and second filaments only in response to applied voltages between said terminals of first and second polarities, respectively. The disclosed lamp assembly has utility in testing equipment for telephone apparatus and in the key sets of telephones which are part of an aural-visual communication installation, for example.
A better understanding of the present invention may be had by reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is a view of a two-terminal, two-color lamp assembly exploded along its longitudinal axis (L/A), representing a preferred embodiment of the applicants invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the circuit of the lamp assembly shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view (i.e., along the line of sight) of the lamp assembly shown in exploded form in FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 4 and 5 are, respectively, first and second side elevations of the lamp assembly shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
Referring now specifically to FIG. 1, the lamp comprises an envelope 12 having a fiat end comprising a clear (i.e., colorless) portion 14 and a colored portion 16. Filaments l8 and are situated adjacent the clear and colored portions 14 and 16, respectively. Filament 18 is disposed between a first pair of support members 22 and 24, while filament 20 is disposed between a second pair of support members 26 and 28. The pairs of support members 22, 24 and 26, 28 extend through insulating members 30 and 32, respectively, which serve to space the support members from one another within the lamp envelope.
The upper portion of the lamp envelope 12 is substantially cylindrical, while the lower portion tapers down to the pointed region 34, through which the lamp is evacuated during manufacture and tipped-off. Above this pointed region 34, each of the support members 22, 24, 26 and 28 has a portion extending through and exterior of the envelope 12 to form leads 36, 38, 40 and 42, respectively.
Referring now specifically to the schematic diagram of FIG. 2, it'will be readily appreciated that, when terminal 48 is positive with respect to terminal 40, current will be shunted past filament 18 by diode 44 and, being blocked by diode 46, will flow through filament 20 to terminal 50. Thus, when terminal 48 is sufficiently positive with respect to terminal 50, a first indicating light will be generated. On the other hand, if terminal 50 is sufficiently positive with respect to terminal 48, current will be shunted past filament 20 by diode 46 and, being blocked by diode 44, will flow through filament 18 to terminal 48. Thus, whenever terminal 40 is sufficiently positive with respect to terminal 48, a second indicating light will be generated.
FIG. 3 is an end-on view of the lamp assembly shown in exploded form in FIG. 1, showing the clear portion 14 and the colored portion 16 of the flat end portion of the lamp envelope 12. This view illustrates the appearance of the lamp assembly when viewed along the line of sight, which coincides with the longitudinal axis LIA in the embodiment shown. Also shown in the manner in which the portions 48a, 48b, and 48c of terminal 48 and the portions 50a, 50b and 500 of terminal 50 extend about and contact the adjacent periphery of the lamp envelope 12, to which the terminals are secured by conducting cement.
FIG. 4 is a first side elevation of the lamp assembly shown in exploded form in FIG. 1 and shown in FIG. 3. This view shows the manner in which the diodes 44 and 46 are mounted in the space between the tapered lower portion of the lamp envelope 12 and the adjacent terminals 48 and 50. Specifically, the diodes 44 and 46 are angled toward the location at which their cathodes join in a four-way junction with lead portions 38 and 42 on the side of the lamp assembly opposite the side shown in this figure. The pointed region 34 of the envelope 12 is embedded in a solidified insulating cement 52, which also serves to separate and insulate portions 48d and 50d of terminals 48 and 50, respectively. The anodes of diodes 44 and 46 are electrically connected to terminals 48 and 50, respectively, by a conductive cement which also serves to secure the terminals to the lamp envelope 12 (connections not visible). The spatial relationships of the insulating members 30 and 32 and the support members extending therethrough are also illustrated in this figure.
FIG. 5 is a second side elevation of the lamp assembly shown in exploded form in FIG. 1 and shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, this view being produced by rotating the lamp assembly as shown in FIG. 4 about its longitudinal axis (L/A) by clockwise. The various angularly related portions 50a, 50b, 50c and 50d of terminal 50 are shown in this figure, as is the disposition of filament 20 within the lamp envelope 12.
The advantages of the present invention, as well as certain changes and modifications of the disclosed embodiment thereof will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, the clear portion 14 may also be colored to contrast more sharply with the colored portion 16. Instead of being designed for endon viewing in accordance with the preferred embodiment disclosed herein, a lamp assembly adapted for side viewing could be readily produced by spacing the filaments l8 and 20 apart along the longitudinal axis LIA of the lamp and coloring an annular segment of the upper cylindrical portion of the lamp envelope behind which one of the filaments is located along the line of sight. A single lamp assembly adapted for both end-on and side viewing may be formed simply by combining the features of the end-on and side viewing lamps. Also,
the anode and cathode connections of the diodes 44 and 46 could be reversed to enable energization of filament 18 when terminal 48 is positive with respect to terminal 50 and energization of filament 20 when terminal 50 is positive with respect to terminal 48. It is the applicants intention to cover all such changes and modifications which could be made to the embodiment of the invention herein chosen for the purposes of the disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
