Coating lamp glass with phosphor.

摘要

A glass envelope (11) has its interior surface coated with phosphor by passing charged particles into the envelope. A clamp (21) includes a pair of electrically conductive members (23,25) which enclose the envelope (11) and contact its outer surface during the coating. The conductive members are supported by insulating arms (33,35) and are provided with heating elements (31) so that the temperature of the envelope is controlled and attraction of the charged phosphor particles is enhanced. <IMAGE>
