Abstract: A mount (10) for a metal halide arc discharge lamp has a flare (20) including a barrel portion and a frame (32) comprises a clip (40) attached to the barrel portion (30). First and second side rods (50, 60) spaced 180° apart have distal ends (70) and proximal ends (80), with the distal ends being attached to the clip. First and second spaced apart straps (90, 100) connect the side rods intermediate the proximal ends and distal ends. An arc tube (110) is fixed between the first and second straps. The proximal ends diverge outwardly and engage the inner surface of a dome (14) to position one end of the mount. The barrel portion includes two sealed lead-in wires (120, 130). The arc tube includes an electrode (140, 150) in each end (140a, 150a). No electrical connection is made to the frame whereby the frame is electrically isolated.

Abstract: A mount assembly (10) for a lamp that comprises a light source (12) having two ends (14, 16) separated by a hollow middle portion (18). Light source capsule (12) can be an arc discharge vessel and the ends (14) and (16) are substantially parallelepipedial. The ends (14) and (16) are also provided with alignment segments (60) in the form of spaced apart beads (62) and (64). A metal strap (20) surrounds one of the ends, for example, (14), and is positioned between the beads (62) and (64), and has first and second oppositely disposed affixation areas, (22, 24); which can be in the form of extensions (22a) and (24a). A glass stem (26) has a tubular first portion (28) with an outside diameter D. A substantially C-shaped clip (30) is mounted upon the tubular first portion (28). The C-shaped clip (30) has a given height H and an inside diameter D1 that is smaller than the outside diameter D whereby the clip frictionally engages the tubular first portion.

Abstract: A frame clip (100) for mounting a light source (for example, an arc tube 32) in a lamp. The frame clip (100) comprises a substantially oval body having a longitudinal axis (110) with an opening (112) therein parallel to the longitudinal axis and having a given height, a first inside dimension D1 and a second inside dimension D2, and wherein the second dimension D2 is greater than D1.

Abstract: A mount assembly (10) for an arc discharge vessel has a glass stem (12) having a longitudinal axis (14) that includes a flare (16) with a barrel portion (18) and a seal portion (20) containing at least two relatively rigid stem-leads, (22 and 24), projecting therefrom A relatively rigid wire frame (26) is provided with the frame (26) having a distal end (28) and a proximal end (30). A loop portion (32) is formed at the proximal end (30) and has a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the barrel (18) and is affixed thereto. The distal end (28) of the wire frame (26) extends away from the barrel portion in a direction transverse to the plane of the loop portion (32). An arc discharge vessel (34, 34a), having a substantially linear configuration and having electrode connections (36) and (38) extending from the ends thereof is positioned on the longitudinal axis (14) and is affixed to the wire frame.

Abstract: A water driven engine comprising a frame and two vertical rotors which are rotatably mounted in the frame. The water drive engine is mounted in a stream of water. If desired the engine may be mounted in a low dam. The blades of the vertical rotors overlap. A water diverter is centrally mounted in front of the rotors so as to divide the stream of water and divert the water onto the outer blades of the rotors. The water diversion produced contradirectional rotation of the rotors, i.e., one rotor rotates clockwise and the remaining rotor rotates counterclockwise. The contradirectional rotating rotors are mechanically joined to an energy system and to each other so as to be substantially self-timing and torque-free.

Abstract: A wind driven engine comprising a base, a housing which is rotatably mounted on the base, and two vertical rotors which are rotatably mounted in the housing and which are substantially enclosed by the housing. The blades of the vertical rotors overlap. An air diverter is centrally mounted inside the housing and in front of the rotors so as to divert air entering the housing onto the blades of the rotors which are adjacent the sides of the housing. The air diversion results in contradirectional rotation of the rotors, i.e., one rotor rotates clockwise and the remaining rotor rotates counterclockwise. An air vent is centrally placed in the housing above the air diverter to evacuate air from behind the air diverter. The vent is enclosed by an air shield which aids the evacuation of air through the vent. The contradirectionally rotating rotors are mechanically joined to an energy receiving system so as to be substantially self-timing and torque-free.
