Abstract: To improve mass production of fluorescent lamps, and introduction of merc within the interior thereof, the lamp mount includes an electrically conductive strip, band or wire secured within the vessel, to which a heater wire (11, 31, 40) is connected, the heater wire being melt-connected to extend into the glass capsule, forming therein a narrow V, or U-shaped structure. Upon application of a high frequency field, the heater wire will heat and open the glass capsule in the region of the melt-through connection thereof, thus liberating mercury previously introduced into the glass capsule, for example in the form of a drop, a pellet of porous substance with mercury dispersed therein, or the like.

Abstract: An amalgam has a base metal including bismuth in an amount selected from the range between about 45 wt % and 65 wt %, and lead in an amount selected from the range between about 35 wt % and 55 wt %. The amalgam also includes mercury the amount of which is selected from the range between about 1 wt % and 12 wt % of the total amount of the amalgam. Such amalgam is sealed in a low mercury vapor pressure discharge lamp which operates at a medium bulb surface temperature to achieve a stable mercury vapor pressure over an extended amalgam temperature range.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp apparatus according to the present invention comprises a base member, a fluorescent lamp, and lighting means. The base member is a hollow member having a threaded base which can be screwed into the same type of socket as is used in ordinary incandescent lamps. It has a partition wall, and is divided thereby into a circuit chamber and an air chamber. The circuit chamber is located close to the base, and the air chamber communicates with the atmosphere. The lamp is attached to the base member, and comprises a tubular envelope, a pair of electrodes, and a mercury-vapor pressure adjusting means. The envelope is bent in shape, thus forming a discharge passage of a predetermined configuration, is sealed in an airtight fashion, and has both ends located close to the base member. The electrodes are contained within the end portions of the envelope. The mercury-vapor pressure control means incorporates a quantity of amalgam which is held within the air chamber of the base member, and is designed to supply mercury vapor into the envelope. The lighting means is located with the circuit chamber of the base member and is electrically connected to the electrodes of the fluorescent lamp, for lighting the lamp.

Abstract: An amalgam of mercury is placed at the anode end of a low-pressure mercury discharge lamp for D.C. operation to counteract mercury vapor depletion at the anode end of the lamp. The amalgam attracts mercury vapor to the anode end of the lamp when the lamp is turned off to maintain uniform mercury vapor distribution in the lamp.

Abstract: A mercury dispenser for electric discharge lamps consists of welding a small metallic member (16) in the form of a "patch", to a portion of the surface of the cathode disintegration shield (10) and trapping a predetermined volume of mercury under the "patch". A dimple (17) may be formed in the shield (10) or in the member (16). The shield (10) may be formed from a continuous strip which is dimpled at a predetermined pitch, the dimples filled with mercury and the "patches" (16) welded over the dimples. The strip can then be cut into discrete "patched" sections to be bent into shields and assembled with the cathode structure. The mercury is liberated from under the "patch" by heating and vaporization, the vapor pressure forcing the "patch" open.

Abstract: An arc-extinguishing ampul and a low-pressure arc discharge lamp, such as a fluorescent lamp, having such ampul on each electrode structure, the ampul comprising a thin-walled glass body enclosing an arc-extinguishing gas, at least one electrically conductive support wire, and a heat-conductive coating covering the outer surface of the ampul and portions of the support wire. Upon depletion of the electron-emissive coating on one electrode filament at the end of the useful life of the lamp, the arc discharge is attracted to the ampul by the support wire. The heat of the arc softens and melts the ampul to the point where the arc-extinguishing gas within the ampul escapes and renders the lamp inoperable without loss of the lamp's hermetic seal.

Abstract: A mercury holder for electric discharge lamps, such as tubular fluorescent lamps, is mounted within the lamp envelope so as to serve as a target for bombardment by electrons and ions. The source of the bombardment may be the electrons emitted by one of the cathodes which impinge on the holder and which generate ions by collision with the gas fill in the lamp envelope. Alternatively, the source of the bombardment may be an arc discharge induced by a radio-frequency source across a gap between the holder and a lead-in conductor.
