Title: Improvements in Metallic Incandescence Filaments for Electric Glow Lamps, and Method of Treating the same
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1906-05-18
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 11,639. Bloxam, A. G., [Lux, J.]. May 18. Incandescent lamps.- Filaments of tungsten or other metal are given an inward or outward curvature with regard to the bulb, between their points of suspension and fixation, thus strengthening them to resist deformation and short-circuiting due to electrostatic effects. The curvature, preferably outward, may be imparted before or after the fila ments are placed in the bulb. In the latter case, it may be given by strongly heating the bulb, by the action of magnets, by rotating the glowing lamp rapidly, or by rubbing the bulb with a revolving ring of felt or leather, when the filaments are attracted. Preferably, the bulb is connected to one terminal of an electric machine or current generator, the other terminal being earthed. Several of the above methods may be combined. After considerable use, the curvature changes slightly, from the position s shown in dotted lines to the position s<1> shown in full lines.
