(54) Title: SINGLE END HALOGEN INCANDESCENT BULB

00
00

O

(57) Abstract: A single end incandescent halogen
bulb has an envelope (112) having a sealed cavity
(114) containing a halide material, a pich or press
seal (110) at one end, and a coiled wire filament
(100) disposed in the sealed cavity (114). Filament
legs (102, 104) comprise portions of the coiled wire
filament (100) that have been drawn out straight so as
to have a diameter which is approximately the same
as a diameter of a wire from which filament (100)
is formed. A first current supply (106) wire extends
through the press seal (110) into the sealed cavity.
This first wire (106) has a first clamp (1 18) formed at
a terminal end thereof. The first clamp (118) clamps
a first filament (102) leg to establish a first electrical
connection and suspend the filament (100) in the
sealed cavity (114). A second current supply wire
(108) extends into and terminates within the press seal
(110). This second wire (108) has a second clamp
(116) which clamps a second filament leg (104) to
establish a second electrical connection. The second
clamp (1 16) is enclosed in the press seal (1 10).
