Definitions

Such means must be large in relation to the dimensionsof these' devices and largeespecially as compared with the seals to be protected thereby, thus also being comparatively heavy, and hence cannot be applied to somewhat small discharge tubes.
the heat radiation from a highly heated part of thedischarge tubes, such as a wall portion thereof constituting the anode, in the case of small tubes will not be prevented vfrom impairing the seal if the protective means consists in resistances to heat interposed between the two.
discharge vessels in which the bulb or envelope is entirely or in part made of a metal in order to serve as anode may be heavily loaded.
the load may be such that this envelope or .bulb will become red hot.
the envelope is required not to be porous when red hot since otherwise the vacuum would be impaired.
Ring 5 need not be of a metallic material but suitable insulating may be a ceramic or vother body.
seal 4 is protected from being unduly heated is of advantage especially in the case of complicated seals or seals diflicult to produce free from strains.
Devices of this kind are those having two or more seals fitted to a metal bulb and spaced apart by a comparatively small distance and which are not applied to the bulbv all at. the same time but are applied one after another.
the ring 5 serving as a heat accumulating means, is useful also inasmuch as it acts to retard the cooling down of the glass layer 4 ⁇ when thermal inertia and constituting the anode, and Y a second part which carries the leads and iis'.
ployed instead thereof, may be pressed into. Atheenlargement I while producing the bulb in this way.
Anenvelope ⁇ for an electric discharge vesselprovided with anopening said envelope comprising a part having -a relatively thin wall substantially free from thermal inertia and a section having a thicker walldi'sposed between said part and said opening,l a metalsring contacting the wall of said vessel disposed within said tube at the opening therein, said' ring vand said section cooperating to minimizeA ,ther effectvof ⁇ sudden thermal changes inthe thin @walled part of the tube on the edge of the opening.
