Method of producing a low-pressure mercury vapour discharge lamp.

摘要

Method of producing a low-pressure mercury vapour discharge lamp, use being made of a container (5) which is positioned in the lamp vessel (1) of the lamp between the electrodes (2,3), which container holds the quantity of mercury required for operation of the lamp, the container (5) being attached to a supporting element in the form of wire.
<??>In the method in accordance with the invention the supporting element (7) is connected to a lead-in wire (2a) of a first electrode (2) via a metal connecting wire (9), a direct current discharge being generated between the container (5) and the second electrode (3), mercury then escaping from the container. Thereafter the connection between the supporting element (7) and the lead-in wire (2a) is interrupted.
