  • Patent number: 8488953
    Abstract: A filament lamp is provided. The filament lamp includes: a long light emitting section including a plurality of filaments aligned with one another in an axial direction of the light emitting section, wherein electric power is independently supplied to each of the filaments; a sealing section that seals the light emitting section, including: a first sealing section provided at one end of the light emitting section; and a second sealing section provided at the other end of the light emitting section; a plurality of metal foils embedded in the sealing section; a plurality of external leads each connected to a corresponding one of the metal foils and extending from the sealing section to the outside; and a plurality of glass pipes each provided on the sealing section so as to cover a corresponding one of the external leads.

  • Patent number: 8288932
    Abstract: A filament lamp having a filament and an internal lead in which the filament is insulated from contact with the internal lead and prevent from moving during operation to maintain a uniform distribution of light. To this end, the filament lamp includes a luminous tube having an inner wall, and opposing ends on which sealing parts are formed. Multiple filaments are sequentially disposed inside the tube in an axial direction, and internal leads are connected to each filament. An insulating wall is provided along the inner wall of the luminous tube in the axial direction and is disposed around at least one of the multiple filaments. Internal leads running partly parallel to the filaments are positioned between the luminous tube and insulating wall and do not engage the ring supporters of the multiple filaments, which could cause the filaments to move and distribute light in a nonuniform pattern.

  • Patent number: 8014652
    Abstract: A filament lamp includes multiple filament assemblies having filaments connected to paired leads, arrayed in order within a light emitting tube and following a tube axis thereof. Each lead is electrically connected in a seal area. Each filament is powered independently. The light emitting tube includes insulating walls or inner tubes between the filaments and leads that have openings through which the leads pass, and located along the tube axis in proximity to the inner wall of the light emitting tube. Multiple lead accommodation spaces corresponding to the number of leads are provided in the light emitting tube by the insulating walls with each lead passing through an opening in the insulating wall and placed without short circuits in its lead accommodation space.
