Definitions

  • This invention relates to electric incandescent filament lamps, and particularly to halogen cycle studiolamps of the type comprising, within a sealed envelope, a filament having a plurality of closely adjacent filament sections lying substantially in the same plane supported within a framework consisting of a pair of longitudinally extending support wires fixed in position within the envelope at one end, and a pair of insulating bridge members extending between the support wires and carrying a number of anchor wires which engage and support different parts of the filament.
  • lamps When such lamps are in use vertically, meaning that the axis of the lamp, the support wires and the filament sections are all substantially vertical, they present no problem.
  • lamps of this construction having a high power output, for example 2 kW or more, are used in the horizontal position, it has been found that the lamps burn out after a very short period of time compared to their lifetime when in the vertical position.
  • the invention therefore provides an electric incandescent filament lamp of the type specified in which there is an odd number of filament sections such that the connection of one end of the filament to one support wire is remote from the connection of the other end of the filament to the other support wire. It has been found that this modification significantly prolongs the life of the lamps when used in the horizontal position.
  • the number of filament sections employed in a lamp in accordance with the invention will usually be at least five and not more than nine, although the most suitable number will depend upon the form of lamp and its required power output.
  • the lamp comprises a transparent quartz envelope 1 of generally tubular form with a bulbous central portion, the envelope being domed at one end, and closed by a pressing at its opposite end.
  • Current leads through the pinch 2 are provided by strips 13 of molybdenum foil, against which the quartz is pressed, the inner and outer ends of the strips being connected to filament support conductors 6, 7 and terminal pin conductors 3 adjacent ends of which are also embedded in the quartz of the pinch 2.
  • the terminal pin conductors 3 pass through a ceramic support member 4 which supports the pinch 2 and are brazed or arc welded at their outer ends into respective terminal pins 23.
  • a coiled tungsten filament 5 comprising an even plurality of substantially parallel and closely-spaced filament sections each lying perpendicular to the pinch 2, the filament sections lying either in a common plane or in a staggered relationship in two closely-adjacent parallel planes.
  • the filament 5 is mounted within a rectangular supporting framework consisting of the two support wires 6 and 7 which extend longitudinally along the envelope, and two short quartz rods 8 and 9 extending transversely between the support wires at a greater and a lesser distance respectively from the pinch.
  • the rods 8 and 9 are rigidly connected to the support wires 6 and 7 by means of connecting wires 10 passing through the ends of the rods and attached to the support wires.
  • Anchor wires 11 are fixed in the rods, two in rod 8 and three in rod 9, and are hooked at their ends facing each other and engage the hooked portions 12 connecting adjacent filament sections. Each end of the filament 5 is connected to a respective support wire.
  • the lamp envelope contains a filling of an inert gas at a cold pressure of at least 2, for example on the order of 2), atmospheres, together with a small quantity of a halogen, such as bromine, as is customary in halogen cycle studio lamps.
  • a halogen such as bromine
