Abstract: A composite luminous vessel container 3 has a hollow and polycrystalline alumina capillary 1 and one or more transparent disk(s) 2 of monocrystalline alumina. The polycrystalline alumina luminous container member 3 functions as a luminous part for a high intensity discharge lamp. Light is emitted from the inside of the polycrystalline alumina luminous member 3 and radiated through the transparent monocrystalline alumina disk to the outside. The light emitted through the transparent window has a low loss due to the scattering so that the lamp efficiency can be improved. In the case of the light emitted through the transparent monocrystalline alumina, the size of the light source is substantially equal to the distance between the electrodes, so that the light source can be utilized as a point light source. The light emitted from the point light source can be subjected to optical control by combination with reflectors or lenses.

Abstract: A mold includes a gate communicating with the entire perimeter of a cavity serving as a space configured to form a molded article. A self-curable molding material with flowability is fed into the perimeter of the cavity through the gate; hence, the mold has a small number of dead ends compared with the case where, for example, the molding material is fed into the cavity through a part of the cavity, preventing the formation of bubbles left in the cavity. The arrangement of a gate and a vent each making an acute angle results in the spontaneous separation of the molded article in the cavity from solidified material portions in the gate and the vent due to shrinkage on curing.
