Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electric lamps and, in particular, to a lamp that minimizes dispersion of glass in the event of breakage.
  • the glass in lamps can fracture from, for example, handling or non- passive failure of a pressurized capsule such as in an arc tube or filament tube. Upon impact, explosion, implosion, or shock, the glass can be widely dispersed 0 unless retained in some manner.
  • the present invention provides a safety lamp with an easily manufactured protective layer without the substantial use of solvents and of any desired thickness.
  • the protective layer can provide other useful o characteristics and properties as set forth more fully below.
  • a safety lamp includes a glass envelope and 5 an elastomeric sheath. The sheath is stretched about the envelope.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of a safety lamp according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a sheath according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another sheath according to the invention. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • an electric lamp 10 includes a glass envelope 12 and a base 14.
  • the envelope 12 is ensheathed by an elastomeric sheath 18. While a screw-base lamp is shown, the invention is applicable to other type lamps as well, for example, discharge tube lamps such as single pin, bi-pin and recessed double-pin fluorescent lamps, quartz halogen tube lamps, bayonet base lamps, lamps with plug-in bases, lamps with pigtail leads, and so on.
  • the sheath 16 is preformed in a generally tubular shape and stretched to fit over the envelope 12.
  • sheath 16 While a generally cylindrical preformed sheath 16 is shown, it may be desirable to preform the sheath 16 in a non-cylindrical tubular form chosen to better accommodate a particular lamp envelope shape, including a closed-end tube.
  • the sheath 16 may cover, for example, the entire envelope 12 or just a substantial portion. In general, the central portion of the envelope is more likely to shatter and thus be in need of a sheath.
  • the sheath 16 has a diameter of between, for example, 70-90 percent of the diameter of the envelope 12 and preferably a diameter of about 80 percent of that of the envelope 12.
  • the thickness of the sheath 16 may be, for example, between 0.0005 inches and 0.02 inches, with a range of 0.001 inches to 0.02 inches being preferred.
  • the sheath 16 may be, for example, blow molded, injection molded or cast.
  • the sheath 16 may be formed from a suitable light-transmitting elastomeric material, for example, liquid silicone rubber such as LIM®, a two-part injection molding grade liquid silicone by GE Sllicones, or LSR may be used, heat-cured rubber including peroxide or addition-cured silicone rubber, or organic rubber such as EPDM (ethylene, propylene, monomers) rubber (e.g., ethylene, propylene, di-maleate).
  • a liquid silicone rubber is used.
  • a 100 watt halogen lamp may have, for example, a 220 degree Celsius surface temperature. In the case of lamps that do not get hot, it may be preferable to use an EPDM rubber.
  • the sheath 16 will be transparent or translucent.
  • the sheath can be colored with dyes to influence light quality.
  • Heat-age resisting or radiation stabilizing additives may be added to the sheath material.
  • the sheath 16 may be, for example, multi-colored and/or multi-layered. A multi component single layer may also be desired.
  • Ultra-violet or ozone protecting additives may be included.
  • the sheath 16 may also include optical scattering or reflecting dyes, pigments, or particulate. Flakes and/or infrared-reflecting/visible light transmitting pigment could be included in the sheath 16 to help keep the lamp 10 cooler or to improve energy efficiency. It also may be desirable to include indica 18 on the sheath 16 for advertising, nomenclature, or other uses.
  • another embodiment of the sheath 16' includes perforations 20.
  • the perforations 20 could also instead represent other types of surface textures such as dimpling, patterning and ribbing.
  • the additives and/or surface textures can be used to affect desirable optical or mechanical effects including chatoyancy, scatter, diffusion and diffraction
  • the use of the preformed sheath 16 reduces the cost of ensheathing compared to such techniques as dipping and without the use of solvents.
  • the sheath 16 effectively contains fragments of the envelope 12 in case it shatters.
  • the sheath 16 can efficiently provide color and other optical effects, as well as bearing indica.
