Getter devices for halogen lamps are formed by screen-printing a paste comprising tantalum, thorium, hafnium, platinum, niobium or zirconium, and preferably zirconium and tantalum, in strips onto a metallic foil and then cutting the strips perpendicularly. The resulting foil strips can be cut parallel to the getter material to form pieces that contain a small area of getter material and an area of foil. The foil area can be used to mount the getter device to a support structure in the inner quartz bulb of the halogen lamp. The getter device maintains the purity of the gas surrounding the tungsten filament. The getter material is suitable for use in any halogen lamp and especially for halogen lamps having small quartz bulbs. |
