MINIATURE PHOTOFLASH UNIT USING SUBMINIATURE FLASH LAMPS

摘要

D-22,767 TITLE: MINIATURE PHOTOFLASH UNIT USING SUBMINIATURE FLASH LAMPS An electrically-activated, miniature photoflash unit which includes a plurality (e. g., ten) of subminiature high voltage flash lamps arranged in a planar array. A singular mounting tab protrudes from the unit's housing and serves to connect the entire array when the tab is electrically connected to a power source (e.g., piezoelectric crystal) typically associated with many of today's cameras. Each of the lamps is inverted with respect to the tab and also serve to provide a low resistance circuit path therethrough subsequent to activation thereof.
