<p>A mercury-releasing assembly (10) for dosing lamps, tubes, and the like with a charge of mercury, contains a mixture (11) of an intermetallic compound of mercury and a metal. When the mixture is heated to a particular temperature the mixture reacts yielding a molten eutectic and mercury vapor. The mixture may be protected from contamination by a foil shield (13) which ruptures under pressure of the released mercury.</p> |
