Claim 1
Independent Claim
185 words
An incandescent lamp comprising: a metal ring body having a circular cross-section, first and second ends, smooth inner and outer surfaces, and first and second oxidation layers on said inner and outer surfaces, respectively; a light transparent bulb having an exhaust pipe therein and an open end, the inner surface of said open end of said bulb being welded to said outer surface of said metal ring body, at said first end thereof only, by means of said second oxidation layer, to thereby form a hermetic seal therebetween; a cylindrical stem having an outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of said metal ring body, the entire outer circumference of said stem being welded to said inner surface of said metal ring body, at a position between said first and second ends thereof, by means of said first oxidation layer, to thereby form a hermetic seal therebetween, said second end of said metal ring body extending beyond said stem; a light emitting filament positioned within said bulb; and lead wires extending through said stem into said bulb and supporting said filament for applying voltage thereto.
