Abstract
The capped high-pressure discharge lamp has a discharge vessel having opposite neck-shaped portions. A tubular glass sleeve envelopes the discharge vessel and has constrictions coupling the sleeve to a respective neck-shaped portion. The sleeve has an end-portion adjacent a constriction at the side thereof which is remote from the other constriction, in which end portion a pinch is present. A clamping member having lugs which hold the pinch is secured to a mounting member which is fixed to a cap. The pinch provides for a mechanically strong portion to secure the discharge vessel to the cap. The construction is able to withstand heavy shocks which may occur during transport.
