UNITED STATES PATENT .OFFIOE.
WILLIS R. WHITNEY, OF SGHENECTADY, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR T0 GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
FILAMENT FOR INGANI JESCENT LAMPS.
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, WILLIS R. WHITNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Schenectady, county of Schenectady, State 'of New York have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Filaments for 'Incandescent Lamps, of which the following is a s ecification. Y
he metal cerium, when at a red-heat, has the remarkable pure nitrogen an ereby forming a nitrid which hasa metallic luster and is a good electrical conductor. In this reaction, the compound being exothermic, an enormous heat 1s generated which makes the mass undergoing reaction glow with a brilliancy equal to the are light. As the elements remain combined in this heat, the nitrid of cerium is stable at excessively high temperatures andis with difficulty fusible. From this nitrid of cerium I form the incandesci'ng element or illuminant of incandescent or similar lamps by compressing the very finely powdered material mixed with paraflin, into-rods Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed November 14, 1904. Serial No. 232,618. 1
rolperty of reacting with a suitable binder, as' or filaments. These are Patented Aug. 1a, 1908.
then heated to their sintering oin t by passher e ectric current ing' through them a hi than they are to carry W en'in use. a
Although the nitrrd of cerium constitutes the preferable embodimentof my invention- I may, in place thereof, use the 'nitrids of other rare earth'metals such as yttrium or lanthanum.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is,
1. A filament for incandescent lamps formed substantially of'a nitrid of a rare earth metal.
f 2. A filament for incandescent lamps formed of nitrid of cerium.
3. An illuminant formed substantiallf% of a nitrid of an element having a high a nity for nitrogen at high tern eratures.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand'this 12th day of November, 1904.
WILLIS R. WHITNEY.
