| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5993201 | Enclosed frictionally ignited photographic flash lamp A photographic flash lamp having a closed, at least partially transparent capsule. A combustible material within an enclosed region of the capsule generates a flash upon ignition. Ignition is provided by a frictionally ignited composition within the enclo... | 11/30/1999 |
| 5989016 | High efficiency photographic flash lamp A photographic flash lamp having an envelope defining a chamber, at least a portion of the envelope being transparent. A support mesh is positioned within the chamber and has a first portion out of contact with the remainder of the lamp. Suitable combusti... | 11/23/1999 |
| 4432724 | Photoflash lamp including improved ignition means An electrically-activated, subminiature photoflash lamp including a glass envelope, a quantity of combustible shred material (e.g., zirconium or hafnium) for providing high intensity light output upon ignition thereof, and an ignition means for igniting t... | 02/21/1984 |
| 4363622 | Combustion flashbulb Combustion flashbulbs according to the invention have a light-pervious lamp envelope (1) filled with a tangled mass (5) of actinically combustible metal strips and an oxidizing gas. Current supply conductors (2, 3) are coated on parts situated within the ... | 12/14/1982 |
| 4348173 | Subminiature photoflash lamp with spaced-apart, light-emitting pyrotechnic charges A subminiature photoflash lamp which includes a pair of pyrotechnic charges centrally disposed in a parallel, spaced relationship within the lamp's plastic, light-transmitting envelope. Each charge is supported on a respective one of the ends of the lamp'... | 09/07/1982 |
| 4342553 | Glass to nickel-iron alloy seal A range of borosilicate glass compositions which are capable of sealing effectively to nickel iron alloys containing up to approximately 52% nickel to form a hermetic seal resistant to thermal shock breakage. The glass is in the composition range percent ... | 08/03/1982 |
| 4329734 | Flash lamp array having electrical shield A photoflash lamp array comprising a housing elongated vertically and containing elongated flash lamps lying horizontally and stacked vertically, the flash lamps having lead-in wires extending from ends thereof near the sides of the housing and connected ... | 05/11/1982 |
| 4309166 | Combustion flashbulb A flashbulb in which a filament and paste are not required. The flashbulb is not only cheaper but is faster in operation. This is primarily achieved by ensuring that the mass of finely-shredded combustible metal strips provided in such flashbulbs are in c... | 01/05/1982 |
| 4249887 | Photoflash lamp having gap-fire ignition mount, and method of making the mount The reliability of a photoflash lamp which is fired by a high-voltage pulse is improved by fabricating the flash-ignition mount from a glass bead, a glass sleeve and a pair of lead-in wires that have inwardly-bent end portions which define a gap of precis... | 02/10/1981 |
| 4249230 | Photoflash unit utilizing circuit board having flashlamps clamped thereto A multilamp photoflash unit which includes an elongated housing, a circuit board located within a longitudinal channel within the housing, and several (e.g. six) electrically-activated flashlamps. The flashlamps utilize preformed lead-in wires which are c... | 02/03/1981 |
| 4245279 | Photoflash unit with inverted flashlamps A multilamp photoflash unit including an elongated plastic housing having a longitudinal channel therein. Within the channel is positioned a thin, flat circuit board to which are connected several (e.g. six) flashlamps arranged in a linear array. The lamp... | 01/13/1981 |
| 4238814 | Cover for multilamp photoflash unit A photoflash unit comprising a linear array of flashlamps mounted on a printed circuit strip disposed within the longitudinal channel of an elongated housing member. A light-transmitting cover panel is attached to the housing member for enclosing the flas... | 12/09/1980 |
| 4204834 | Leadless electric flash lamp A flash lamp which is electrically activated using capacitive coupling between a pair of conductors located externally of the lamp's glass envelope and a respective pair of conductors located within the envelope. A quantity of primer material, also locate... | 05/27/1980 |
| 4082494 | Photoflash lamp A high-voltage type photoflash lamp having a nonconducting, noncombustible, fibrous material, such as zirconia wool, positioned around the lead-in wires at the base of the lamp to prevent shorting across the wires.... | 04/04/1978 |
| 4038020 | Photoflash lamp A photoflash lamp having a borosilicate glass envelope with a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion and a depending metal primer tube, or set of lead-in wires, sealed to the glass envelope. The envelope maintains or enhances strong containment ... | 07/26/1977 |
| 3941555 | Non-shorting photoflash lamp A glass support bead through which inlead wires extend in a miniature type of flash lamp is shaped to have sloping sides and a narrow ridge at the top extending from one to the other of the inlead wires, so that any unburned metal foil in a flashed lamp i... | 03/02/1976 |
| 3930784 | Photoflash lamp having non-shorting construction Beads of glass or plastic are placed around the lead-in wires in the bottom part of a flash lamp. This prevents metal debris in a flashed lamp from electrically shorting across the lead-in wires at the bottom of the lamp.... | 01/06/1976 |
