Abstract: A joint-sealing strip consisting of foam material has one or more moisture-variable membrane layers. The joint-sealing strip may have two longitudinal sides as well as a top side that borders on a joint flank in the installed state of the joint-sealing strip, and an underside that borders on an opposite joint flank in the installed state of the joint-sealing strip. The one or more memebrane layers may run in the longitudinal direction between the top side and underside, in each instance, as well as parallel to or almost parallel to the longitudinal sides.

Abstract: The lamp comprises a discharge vessel (2) which is closed off in a vacuum-tight manner and is arranged in an outer bulb (12), a getter material being held on a support body inside the outer bulb (12). The support body is a support strip (31) to which the getter material is applied, the support strip being bent in such a way that it is automatically held in the outer bulb (12) without the need for any auxiliary means.

Abstract: The process comprises the provision of a discharge vessel (2) which is closed off on one side, fitting a second tube over part of the discharge vessel and evacuating and filling the volume of the outer bulb via a pumping hole, which remains open in the second extension part within the second tube. This pumping hole is only closed at the end by means of an operation which closes it by rolling.
