Abstract
A base assembly for a flash lamp is disclosed. The base assembly has an integrated sparker and includes an electrically conductive header having a surface that defines a boundary of a flash chamber for the flash lamp. There is an opening in the surface of the electrically conductive header and an electrically conductive lead within the opening. The electrically conductive lead is electrically insulated from surrounding portions of the electrically conductive header. A distal end of the electrically conductive lead is substantially flush with the surface of the electrically conductive header.
Claims28
A base assembly for a flash lamp, the base assembly comprising:
- an electrically conductive header having a surface that defines a boundary of a flash chamber for the flash lamp;
- an opening in the surface of the electrically conductive header;
- and
- an electrically conductive lead within the opening,
- wherein the electrically conductive lead is electrically insulated from surrounding portions of the electrically conductive header, and
- wherein a distal end of the electrically conductive lead is substantially flush with the surface of the electrically conductive header.
A flash lamp comprising:
- a base assembly;
- and
- a cover coupled to the base assembly, wherein the cover and the base assembly collectively define a flash chamber for the flash lamp,
- wherein the base assembly comprises:
- an electrically conductive header having a surface that defines a boundary of the flash chamber;
- a plurality of openings in the electrically conductive header,
- an electrically conductive lead within each one of the openings, wherein each one of the electrically conductive leads is electrically insulated from surrounding portions of the electrically conductive header, and
- wherein a distal end of a particular one of the electrically conductive leads is substantially flush with the surface of the electrically conductive header.
