Abstract
A glass support bead through which lead-in wires extend within a miniature type of flash lamp is shaped to have a raised narrow ridge extending between the lead-in wires so that when the lamp flashes the lead-in wires will melt back at the sides of the raised ridge of the support bead. The support bead is formed by shaping jaws which squeeze against the heat-softened bead material to form the raised narrow ridge.
