A holding clip is provided for fixing the position of components which carry getters and are arranged at least partly as holl bodies in containers used in vacuum systems. The holding clip include, a partial section supporting the component carrying the getter and a partial section forming a supporting part for support in the container. The partial section supports the component carrying the getter by way of a flexurally rigid connection. The partial section is provided with a spring-elastic arrangement, so that the component carrying the getter can be braced relative to the partial section supporting the component carrying the getter and the supporting part can be braced relative to the inner surface of the container by elastic deformation.

Holding clip for fixing the position of getters

An arrangement to increase the thermal fatigue resistance of glass tubes having fluid flowing therethrough and being pressure-loaded. This arrangement comprises a glass tube, into which an interior component is inserted. The interior component can be designed as thin-walled tube or tubular component. In accordance with a first example the cavity enclosed by the interior component is hydraulically connected with the interior of the glass tube. The wall thickness of the interior component is smaller than the wall thickness of the glass tube and the interior component is partially free from a direct heat connection with the glass tube. In accordance with a second example the interior component increases the wall thickness of the glass tube. In this case the interior component is touching the interior circumference of the glass tube.
