  • Patent number: 6992446
    Abstract: A halogen lamp of a 12V type including: a glass part, a portion of which is a light emitting portion having a space therein and the rest of which is a sealing portion, both portions being made of quartz glass; an infrared reflective coating formed to cover an outer surface of the glass part; a filament which, supported by the sealing portion, is provided in the inner space of the light emitting portion; a molybdenum foil which is embedded in the sealing portion and is electrically connected to the filament; and a power supply line, one end of which is connected to the molybdenum foil, the other end exposed to outside. The halogen lamp satisfies 450 mm2?Sb?650 mm2 and Se??0.35Sb+520, where Sb and Se designate outer surface areas of the light emitting portion and the sealing portion, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6611102
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tungsten-halogen light bulb having an arc tube with a seal portion at one end. A filament is provided in the interior of the arc tube, and a basic gas mainly comprising at least either gaseous xenon or gaseous krypton is filled in the arc tube. When V (V) denotes a rated voltage of the tungsten-halogen light bulb, P(MPa) denotes a filling pressure of the basic gas at a room temperature, and Xe vol. % and Kr vol. % respectively denote composition ratios of the gaseous xenon and of the gaseous krypton, the following formulas (1) and (2) are satisfied simultaneously, in which ‘%’ means ‘volume %’. V≧100 (Volt)  (1) P≧0.7+{0.1×(Kr%/(Kr%+Xe%))}  (2) In these formulas, Kr %+Xe %=100(%), 0≦Kr %≦100, and 0≦Xe %≦100. Accordingly, a crack at the seal portion of the arc tube is prevented and the lifetime is improved.

  • Patent number: 6472818
    Abstract: Providing a light bulb having a long life by preventing filament coil breakage. A glass bulb (1) has a sealing portion (4) at one end thereof and contains a filament coil (5). The filament coil (5) is suspended between lead-in wires (7, 8) extended externally of the sealing portion (4), with its opposite ends connected to respective one ends of the wires. The lead-in wires (7, 8) are supported by a stem (6) disposed between the sealing portion (4) and the filament coil (5). A getter (9) is disposed between the sealing portion (4) and the stem (6).
