Electric lamp and shaped metal body for use therein

摘要

The electric lamp has a lamp vessel (1) composed of a glass bulb (2) and a glass plate (3) sealing the bulb (2). A shaped metal body (20) is embedded in the glass plate (3). The shaped metal body (20) has a plate-shaped metal member (10) with which a tube (11) is integral and with which current conductors (12) are integral via bridges (15). The glass plate (3) has at least one recess (4) in which a bridge (15) to a current conductor (12) is located, which bridge (15) has a disconnection (16) in the recess (4), thus insulating the relevant current conductor (12) from the metal member (10). The lamp is of a simple construction that can be easily realized. The current conductors (12) occupy a predetermined position with respect to one another in the lamp owing to the use of the shaped metal body (20), and fewer components have to be combined in the manufacture of the lamp.
