Abstract: The capped electric lamp has a quartz glass lamp vessel (1) having first and second neck-shaped portions (2,3) with respective seals (4,5). A glass envelope (9) surrounds the lamp vessel and is secured thereto. A clamping member (20) surrounds the envelope in a clamping manner. A fixation member (32) of a lamp cap (30) is welded to the clamping member. The clamping member (20) is an undulated metal body, the crests of its creases constituting regions (22) which are spaced from the envelope (9) and in which welds to the fixation member (32) are made. Its troughs constitute clamping zones (21) which hold the envelope. The clamping member (20) allows for the application of a relatively wide envelope (9), which may enter the lamp cap (30).

Abstract: The capped electric lamp has a glass lamp vessel (1) having first and second neck-shaped portions (2,3). An outer glass envelope (8) has a narrowed portion (9) where it is coupled to the first neck-shaped portion (2). A metal sleeve (10) has a clamping zone (11) which clampingly holds the outer envelope (8), and a welding zone (12) to which tongues (21) of a fixation member (20) which is fixed in a lamp cap (30) are welded. The metal sleeve (10) becomes narrower from the clamping zone (11) towards the first neck-shaped portion (2) up to the welding zone (12).
