Abstract
An improved fuse means for use within an electric incandescent lamp (e.g., tungsten halogen). The fuse is located within a ceramic base to which the press-sealed end of the envelope is affixed (e.g., cemented). The improved fuse means comprises a first conductive (e.g., nickel) wire segment of rectangular cross-sectional configuration and a second conductive (e.g., nickel) sleeve member crimped about an end portion of the first wire segment and including a flat region which in turn is fixedly secured (e.g., welded) to one of the lead-in wires projecting from the lamp's press-sealed end portion. In an alternative embodiment, a second sleeve member and conductive wire segment is utilized.
