  • Apparatus providing a shatter-resistant electric lamp
    Patent number: 5109180
    Abstract: A shatter-resistant electric lamp includes a base; contacts for connecting the lamp to a source of electrical energy; a filament or light source electrically connected to the contacts for converting electrical energy to light; a shatterable encasement, connectable to the base, for translucently encasing the filament; and a polymer coating deposited on a first portion of the encasement so that a second portion of the encasement remains uncoated. The preferred polymer coating is poly(phenylene sulfide).

  • Reflector construction
    Patent number: 4794026
    Abstract: An article of manufacture exhibiting enhanced reflective properties with increased temperature comprising a thermoplastic, such as poly(phenylene sulfide), coated reflector manufactured by the process comprising coating a low viscosity silicone resin on to a heat resistant thermoplastic substrate, curing said coating and depositing a metallic coating such as by vacuum metallization. Optionally an exterior clear coating can be applied. Upon cooling the reflective surface returns to its normal reflective state.
