A lamp bridge may be formed from a siliceous hollow tube positioned between and melted to bridge supports. The hollow tube melts more quickly, and more completely, and therefore bonds stress free and more durable to the bridge supports.

Hollow lamp bridge

An electric lamp including a glass envelope having at least one conductive foil hermetically sealed within the press-sealed end portion thereof, the foil being electrically connected at one end to a side rod support wire which projects within the envelope's bulb portion to form part of the lamp's filament structure. A sound electrical connection between the support wire and conductive foil is attained by providing the end portion of the support wire with a relatively flat configuration and knurling a surface of this flattened end. This knurled surface, being welded to the foil, provides such a connection without the use of flux or the like. A method of making this lamp is also disclosed.
