[0001] The invention relates to an electric incandescent lamp comprising:
- a blown glass lamp vessel sealed in a vacuum-tight manner, provided with
. an axis of symmetry
. a largest diameter in a plane transverse to the axis of symmetry,
. a neck-shaped first wall portion behind the plane of the largest diameter, the free
end of said wall portion carrying a lamp cap having electric contacts,
. an internally concave second wall portion,
- an internally concave third wall portion,
. an internally concave fourth wall portion located opposite the lamp cap in front
of the plane of the largest diameter,
- a helically wound filament arranged about the axis of symmetry substantially in
a plane transverse to said axis,
- means to keep the filament positioned,
- current supply conductors interconnecting the filament and contacts on the lamp
cap.
[0002] The invention also relates to a blown bulb suitable for use in the lamp.
[0003] A lamp of this type is known from US-A 2,110,590.
[0004] In the known lamp the second wall portion together with a reflector arranged within
the neck-shaped wall portion constitutes in axial cross-section half an ellipse. The
third wall portion is a branch of a parabola which is revolved about an axis parallel
to the parabola axis, with the parabola axis being located in between the branch of
the parabola and the axis of revolution. The two wall portions are mirror coated and
their foci located on a circle coincide and the filament is arranged in the plane
through these foci.
[0005] The known lamp provides a solution to the problem of parabolic reflectors being too
narrow in the focal plane if the filament is to be mounted in a deep reflector so
as to obtain a satisfactory beam of generated light, and yet avoiding that the transversal
dimensions of the lamp exceed a conventional size.
[0006] As in the known lamp the branches of the parabola are moved apart in a axial cross-section,
the lamp vessel in the focalplane is wider. Yet the filament in the focal plane is
located in a narrow portion of the lamp vessel, far remote from the largest diameter
of the lamp vessel. A drawback of the known lamp therefore is that only filaments
consuming a relatively low power can be mounted in the lamp vessel in order to avoid
overheating of the lamp vessel.
[0007] Electric lamps having a power value between 15 and 100 W, for example 15, 25, 40,
60, 75 and 100 W intended to be operated at the mains voltage are manufactured in
a large number of types. Not only the finish, the coating or the processing, of the
lamp vessel wall, but also its shape and the size and shape of the inner parts of
the lamp such as the means to keep the filament positioned are different.
[0008] The electric incandescent lamps for operation at the mains voltage in the said power
range include:
- lamps such as those described in the above-cited US-A 2,110, 590, having a mirror-coated
parabolically curved wall portion opposite to which a window is located which, for
example is glazed (is slightly light-scattering) for example due to an etching treatment
and/or is coloured;
- lamps having a substantially spherical lamp bulb which is transparent or is frosted
or which is coated with a white or coloured light-scattering layer;
- lamps having a conical wall portion adjacent to, and a curved wall portion opposite
to the neck-shaped wall portion, the conical wall portion being provided with a white
or coloured light-scattering layer and the curved wall portion being slightly light-scattering
and, as the case may be, being coloured. These lamps emit light on all sides, but
supply along the axis in directions remote from the neck-shaped wall portion a higher
luminous intensity than in other directions,
- lamps having opposite to the neck-shaped wall portion a spherical wall portion which
is mirror-coated or is provided, for example with a white light-scattering coating.
[0009] The manufacture of this large number of lamp types is very complicated due to the
variety of lamp vessel types which require on and between the production machinery
their own supply and lead-out mechanisms and their own transport means, and which
moreover require individual packings. The readjustment of production machines from
one lamp type to the other is thus a very laborious operation. Another complication
of their manufacture is that the various types of lamps require their own means to
keep the filament positioned.
[0010] It is an object of the invention to provide an electric incandescent lamp having
a blown glass lamp vessel shaped in such a way that this lamp vessel may have had
a coating or optional processing operation for realising a lamp from a variety of
different types. It is also an object of the invention to provide a blown glass lamp
bulb suitable for use in such an electric incandescent lamp.
[0011] According to the invention, in an electric incandescent lamp of the type described
in the opening paragraph this object is realised in that
- the second wall portion in each axial cross-section, on one side of the axis of
symmetry, is substantially curved in accordance with an arc of a circle and extends
mainly in the transversal direction between the neck-shaped wall portion and the largest
diameter, the centre of curvature being located in front of the plane of the largest
diameter on the other side of the axis of symmetry,
- the third wall portion in each axial cross-section on one side of the axis of symmetry,
is substantially curved in accordance with an arc of a circle and extends mainly in
axial direction in front of the plane of the largest diameter, the centre of curvature
being located behind the plane of the largest diameter and on the other side of the
axis of symmetry, said wall portion gradually merging into the second wall portion
in the proximity of the largest diameter.
- the filament is arranged in the proximity of the plane of the largest diameter.
[0012] Since the second wall portion mainly extends in axial cross-section in the transversal
direction, the lamp vessel widens out considerably from the neck-shaped wall portion.
This is in great contrast to the lamp of the above-cited US-A 2,110,590. Even if the
lamp has a conventional axial dimension this also results in the possibility of arranging
the filament in the proximity of the largest diameter of the lamp vessel and yet positioned
deep in the lamp vessel, i.e. relatively close to the neck-shaped wall portion.
[0013] This has great advantages. For a largest diameter of e.g. approximately 60 mm which
is also conventional for commercial lamps using a low power (for example 25 W) filaments
having a relatively high power (for example 75 or 100 W) can be incorporated due to
their position in the proximity of the largest diameter. In front of the largest diameter
the lamp still has a considerable axial dimension so that in mirror coated embodiments
the filament is surrounded by mirror coated wall portions over a large spatial angle.
[0014] The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying
drawings which show embodiments of the lamp according to the invention.
[0015] In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a first embodiment of a lamp with the lamp vessel
in axial cross-section.
Figures 2-5 show a mirror coated blown glass bulb in axial cross-section suitable
for use in a second embodiment of the lamp
Figure 6 shows a modification of the bulb of Figures 2-5 in axial cross-section.
Figure 7 shows partly in side elevation and partly in axial sectional view another
embodiment of the lamp.
[0016] In Figure 1 the electric incandescent lamp has a blown glass lamp vessel 1 which
is sealed in a vacuum-tight manner and which has an axis of symmetry 2, a largest
diameter 3 transverse to the axis of symmetry and a neck-shaped first wall portion
4 behind the largest diameter 3. The free end of the neck-shaped wall portion 4 carries
a lamp cap 5 which has electric contacts 6, 7. The lamp vessel 1 also has an internally
concave second wall portion 8, 8', an internally concave third wall portion 9, 9',
and an internally concave fourth wall portion 10 located opposite the lamp cap 5 in
front of the largest diameter 3. A helically wound filament 11 is arranged about the
axis of symmetry 2 substantially in a plane transverse to this axis. The lamp has
means 12 to keep the filament positioned and current supply conductors 13 which interconnect
the filament 11 and contacts 6, 7 on the lamp cap 5.
[0017] The second wall portion 8, 8' is curved in axial cross-section substantially in accordance
with an arc of a circle and extends mainly in the transversal direction between the
neck-shaped wall portion 4 and the largest diameter 3. (The Figure shows that the
dimensions of the lamp vessel 1 from the neck-shaped wall portion 4 to the largest
diameter 3 increase to a greater extent in the transversal direction than in the axial
direction). The centre of curvature 14 of the wall portion 8 is located in front of
the largest diameter 3 on the other side of the axis of symmetry 2. The mainly transversal
direction in which the wall portion 8 extends implies that the centre of curvature
14 is relatively far remote from the largest diameter 3.
[0018] The third wall portion 9,9' is an axial cross-section substantially curved in accordance
with an arc of a circle and extends substantially in the axial direction in front
of the largest diameter 3. (The dimensions of the lamp vessel 1 from the largest diameter
3 increase to a greater extent in the axial direction than they decrease in the transversal
direction). The wall portion 9 has a centre of curvature 15 which is located behind
the largest diameter 3 on the other side of the axis of symmetry 2. The wall portion
9, 9' gradually merges in the proximity of the largest diameter 3 into the second
wall portion 8, 8' .
[0019] The filament 11 is arranged in the proximity of the largest diameter 3.
[0020] In a favourable embodiment the fourth wall portion is curved in axial cross-section
in a zone remote from the axis of symmetry substantially in accordance with an arc
of a circle, the centre of curvature being located proximate to the axis of symmetry
and in front of the filament. This embodiment has the advantage that the lamp may
be in the form of a bowl-mirror lamp. In that case the lamp has a reflective coating
on the wall portions in front of the filament. Such a lamp may alternatively have,
for example a white partly reflective, partly light- transparent coating on said wall
portion.
[0021] Figure 1 shows this shape. The fourth wall portion 10 has an annular zone 16, 16'
remote from the axis of symmetry 2 in which the wall portion in the axial cross-section
is substantially curved in accordance with an arc of a circle. The centre of curvature
17 of the zone 16 is located proximate to the axis of symmetry 2 and in front of the
filament 11. In the region 18 in the immediate proximity of the axis 2 the fourth
wall portion 10 may have a larger radius of curvature, or it may be ogive. In Figure
1 a reflective coating with, for example aluminium, silver, cop- per/aluminium, gold
is denoted by the reference numeral 19. The Figure shows that the filament 11 is at
a relatively large distance from the wall of the lamp vessel 1 in all directions.
[0022] A lamp vessel 1 of the same shape as in Figure 1 may be entirely transparent or substantially
frosted. Alternatively this lamp vessel may have a light-scattering coating possibly
comprising white or coloured pigment. In a special embodiment this lamp vessel 2 has
a white light-scattering coating on the wall portions 4, 8, 8' and 9, 9' whilst the
wall portion 10 is glazed or has a coating which is not pigmented or is pigmented
to a slight extent. In that case the lamp emits more light in the forward direction,
in directions which extend at a relatively small angle to the axis 2, than when the
entire lamp vessel is provided with the same coating. The lamp has a smaller lateral
luminance. In all these embodiments the same stem 12 can be used to keep the filament
11 positioned.
[0023] It is of special importance that the same means and the same stem can be used to
keep the same filament positioned, also when constructing the lamp according to the
invention as a reflector lamp.
[0024] The invention also relates to a blown glass bulb suitable for use in the electric
incandescent lamp according to the invention. An important property of the bulb is
that it is mechanically strong. The bulb is therefore suitable to be evacuated from
manufacturing vacuum lamps or from the manufacture of mirror coatings.
[0025] In Figures 2-5 identical parts have the same reference numerals as in Figure 1.
[0026] The lamp vessel 21 is provided with a mirror coating 29 on its inner surface on the
wall portions 8, 8' and 9, 9' as well as on a part of the wall portion 4.
[0027] Figure 2 shows the radiation path for light which is emitted by the filament at point
11 in the direction of wall portion 9' and which is reflected by this wall portion.
The wall portion 9' thus constitutes a screen preventing light from emerging at large
angles to the axis 2. The wall portion 9' reflects the incident light backwards to
the wall portion 8 which throws the light in forward directions to the exterior through
the wall portion 10 which functions as a light window. It is remarkable that although
wall portion 9' constitutes a screen to the said light rays the wall portion 9 is
no hindrance or substantially no hindrance for the emerging rays reflected by wall
portion 8.
[0028] Figure 3 shows that rays thrown onto wall portion 9' from point 11' of the filament
are also reflected to wall portion 8 and are subsequently thrown to the exterior by
this portion 8 without wall portion 9 essentially intercepting rays.
[0029] It is apparent from Figure 4 that rays thrown onto the wall portion 8' from point
11 of the filament are reflected and can emerge to the exterior through the light
window 10 without any hindrance or any substantial hindrance by the wall portion 9'.
[0030] Figure 5 also shows that rays which are thrown onto wall portion 8' by the filament
at 11' are also thrown to the exterior through this wall portion without any hindrance
or any substantial hindrance by wall portion 9'.
[0031] In view of the symmetry of the bulb 21 there is a corresponding radiation path in
a lamp from this bulb of light rays which are directly incident on wall portion 8
or on wall portion 9.
[0032] The mirror-coated wall portion 9, 9' thus has a multiple function: a) it prevents
the emergence of light at large angles to the axis 2, b) it co-operates with the main
reflector which is constituted by the wall portion 8, 8' and c) it is at least substantially
no hindrance for rays reflected by this wall portion.
[0033] The beam components shown in Figure 2-5 are intensified by light which emerges directly
without reflection. The mirror coated wall portions 8, 8' and 9, 9' surround the filament
11, 11' in a finished lamp over a spatial angle of approximately 2.5 1t sr so that
a considerable part of the generated light is concentrated to a beam, also without
a reflector body being arranged in the neck-shaped wall portion 4.
[0034] The filament may be arranged in various shapes, for example substantially as an open
circle or along three sides of an isosceles trapezium.
[0035] In one embodiment of the lamp according to the invention the parabolically curved
wall portion has a relief in a zone in the proximity of the neck-shaped wall portion.
The wall portion may be roughened, frosted or glazed in this zone. On the other hand,
a ripple may be superimposed on the wall portion in the axial cross-section. The amplitude
thereof may decrease with an increasing distance to the neck-shaped wall portion.
Such a relief can homogenize the luminous intensity in the light beam of the lamp
in its reflector design. A ripple superimposed on the second wall portion is very
attractive because it can be formed on the bulb while blowing it.
[0036] In Figure 6 the second wall portion 48, 48' of the bulb 41 has a relief in a zone
proximate to the neck-shaped wall portion 4. A ripple 49 having an amplitude decreasing
with an increasing distance to the neck-shaped wall portion 4 is superimposed on this
wall portion.
[0037] A lamp which was manufactured from the bulb shown in Figures 2-5 and which has a
largest diameter of 60 mm, and consumed a power of 40 W at 225 V, has a filament which
was arranged along four sides of an equilateral pentagon. The lamp produced a light
beam having a centre value of 550 cd and a beam width of 2x15 °. A commercial reflector
lamp of the same power and a largest diameter of 63 mm produces a beam having a centre
value of 450 cd at the same beam width. Within the said angle the luminous flux of
the lamp according to the invention was 35 % larger than that of the commercial lamp.
[0038] An electric incandescent lamp also having mirror-coated co-operating wall portions
is known from GB 2,097,997. A mirror-coated wall portion widening considerably in
the proximity the neck of the lamp vessel is a paraboloid in this lamp. A mirror-coated
spherical wall portion is located opposite to it. These two wall portions are connected
by an annular wall portion extending in a substantially transversal direction. The
known lamp combines the functions which are normally fulfilled by a bowl-mirror lamp
together with an external paraboloidal reflector. The spherical reflector throws light
on the paraboloidal reflector which has to throw the light to the exterior.
[0039] The known lamp has a number of drawbacks. The filament is arranged at the largest
diameter of the lamp vessel, but it is also surrounded by the spherical wall portion
which is located much closer to it. Consequently the lamp can only comprise filaments
using a relatively low power.
[0040] The spherical wall portion throws light on the paraboloidal mirror-coated wall portion
but also screens off a considerable part of this wall portion, the more so because
the spherical wall portion must be relatively voluminous from a thermal point of view.
Finally, due to its shape the known lamp vessel is mechanically relatively weak.
[0041] In a specific embodiment of the electric incandescent lamp according to the invention,
in which the second wall portion and the third wall portion are mirror-coated, an
annular screen is arranged inside the lamp vessel and coaxially thereto, this screen
being radially surrounded partly by the third wall portion and partly by the fourth
wall portion.
[0042] Such a screen does not or substantially not prevent the passage of the light reflected
by a mirror-coated wall portion. On the other hand, this screen prevents that the
light emitted directly by the filament without reflection on a mirror-coated wall
portion emanates from the lamp vessel at a comparatively large angle to the axis.
The screen thus provides for the lamp a higher visual comfort, while the luminous
flux in the beam of rays enclosing a small angle with the axis is not or substantially
not smaller.
[0043] The annular screen may be, for example, cylindrical. Alternatively, it is possible
that the screen is narrowed towards the fourth wall portion. The screen may be, for
example, spherically curved, the point of curvature coinciding with the geometric
centre of the filament. Alternatively, the screen may be aspherically curved and may
be, for example, ellipsoidal. If such a narrow screen is reflecting, incident light
can be reflected to the second mirror-coated wall portion and can be added by this
portion to the concentrated light beam.
[0044] The screen can be supported by the means that hold the filament in position. Another
possibility consists in that the screen is supported by springs bearing on the wall
of the lamp vessel. In a favourable embodiment, springs cooperate with a portion of
reduced width in the neck-shaped first wall portion at the area at which it passes
into the second mirror-coated wall portion.
[0045] Such a portion of reduced width in itself already has the advantage that the surface
of the second mirror-coated wall portion is comparatively large due to the fact that
this wall portion extends comparatively close to the axis and that nevertheless the
neck-shaped wall portion is comparatively wide up to the proximity of the lamp cap.
Thus, the lamp satisfies safety requirements, according to which the lamp cap, after
being arranged in a lamp holder, cannot be touched with a standarized test finger.
[0046] Figure 7 shows such a lamp. Parts of the Figure corresponding to parts of Figure
1 have a reference numeral which is 60 higher. The lamp vessel 61 has a part of reduced
width 80 at the area at which the first neck-shaped wall portion 64 passes into the
second wall portion 68,68'. The second wall portion 68,68' and the third wall portion
69,69' have a mirror coating 79.
[0047] An annular screen 81 is arranged inside the lamp vessel 61 and coaxially thereto,
this screen being radially surrounded partly by the third mirror-coated wall portion
69,69' and partly by the fourth wall portion 70. The screen 81 is supported by resilient
wires 82,83, which cooperate with the portion of reduced width 80. An advantage obtained
when securing the screen 81 to the lamp vessel 61 is that the screen can be mounted
before the process proper of manufacturing the lamp is carried out. The positioning
of the screen 81 is simple and accurate. The construction furthermore has a high resistance
to shocks. A third spring not visible in the Figure is located in the finished lamp
in front of the spring 83. The screen 81 intercepts the light rays a and b and all
the rays therebetween, which would otherwise emanate from the lamp vessel, i.e. the
ray a and adjacent rays at a comparatively large angle to the axis 62. Due to its
spherical shape, the screen reflects incident radiation to the second wall portion
68,68', which adds this radiation to the beam of rays. The screen may consist of a
variety of metals, for example aluminium, chromium-nickel steel, molyndenum and the
like.
