Definitions

  • the filament supports for tubular tungsten filament lamps of varied shape in my British Patent No. 377,394 have one disadvantage in that they comprise portions contacting over a large 5 part of the total circumference with'the inner wall of the lighting tube which thus form sharp shadows in the illuminated tube.
  • the filament support in accordance with the present invention is practically shadowless and can be introduced readily into any form of tube.
  • the support for the filaments of variably formed tubular tungsten filament lamps which constitutes a modification of the support described and claimed in my British Patent No. 377,394 consists of a continuous resilient wire of high melting point shaped so as to form a plurality of portions of substantially rectilinear form arranged non-colinearly in each of a number of planes substantially perpendicular to the axis of the envelope, the portions in each of the said planes constituting resilient formations or supporting members abutting against the wall of the tube at three or more points constituted by the angular junction 01 the rectilinear portions, the formations or supporting members in each of the said planes being united by portions of the single or multi-strand wire comprising at least two non-colinear substantially rectilinear sections.
  • the V-shaped portion i of the support which constitutes a supporting member, is perpendicular to the axis of the tube 9.
  • This portion i is continuous with the part 2.
  • the wire portions i and 2 are so shaped that they form the points a, a, and b, by which they are supported against the inner wall of the glass tube 8. It will Cal between points a so that these portions do not lie against the wall of the tube, but are spaced therefrom between the points a in order that no appreciable shadows are cast by said portions.
  • the portion i carries the stems 3 for the lighting filament I which is insulated by the glass drops 5.
  • the points b can be united by a thin wire 9 in a, a, b, b, and c. with this form of multiple be noted that the portions 2 are bent midway bending the extent of springiness of the portion l is increased.
  • the wire 8 is attached to the portions I either by twisting or by electrical welding.
  • a support or the filament of a tubular tungsten filament lamp having an envelope tube comprising a continuous resilient metal wire of high melting point, said wire being bent to form a number 01' rectilinear portions arranged noncolinearly and at an angle to the axis of the tube, certain of said portions lying in planes substantially perpendicular to the axis of the tube and intersecting said axis at spaced points and certain other of said portions uniting the first mentioned portions in such manner that the support is spaced away from the wall of the tube and contacts with the wall only at the angular junction points of said rectilinear portions.
