  • Patent number: 11592169
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a linear LED light source, comprising: providing a tubular glass envelope that is open at its proximal end and its distal end; inserting a light source mount assembly comprising one or more LED units into the tubular glass envelope; forming a distal hermetic seal at the distal end such that a distal opening remains at the distal end; forming a proximal hermetic seal at the proximal end such that a proximal opening remains at the proximal end; filling the tubular glass envelope with a gas filling; and sealing the distal and proximal openings to obtain a sealed lamp envelope; wherein a flow of coolant gas through the tubular glass envelope is maintained during the formation of the proximal hermetic seal and/or distal hermetic seal if the light source mount assembly is inserted before the formation of the respective hermetic seal.

  • Patent number: 9053891
    Abstract: A lamp having a longitudinal axis, comprising of a burner pinched at one end and a cement less base holding the contact points protruding from the burner. At least one end of the burner is sealed and aligned at the centre of the base in an upright direction following the lamp axis by means of a spring clip, which is mounted from the side of the pinch of the burner and does not interfere with the lead wires.

  • Publication number: 20060197422
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting mechanism with an elongated shield made of transparent material, a burner disposed in the center of the shield, sealed-off burner connectors including both a proximal burner connector and a distal burner connector, each of which projects diametrically away from the burner in the longitudinal direction of the shield so as to extend into a proximal and a distal end region of the shield. Supply leads pass into the shield by way of a crimped part thereof and are joined there to the burner connectors. In the region of the crimped part a supplementary space is provided that is open to the interior of the shield and into which at least a certain region of the proximal burner connector extends.
