DEFINITION

Classification: 174/50.59

(under subclass 50.5) Subject matter provided with means for shielding the joint between the lead-in conductor and the portion of the envelope through which the lead-in passes, or for preventing electrical leakage currents between the lead-in conductors along the envelope wall.

(1) Note. The shield may be for the purpose of preventing a deposit of sputtered or vaporized material upon or around the lead-in and the envelope portion adjacent thereto, or to prevent the sealing material at the joint from being attached by deleterious substances, or for any other shielding purpose.

17.08, and 55.52+, where the device is provided with an electrical connector (e.g., a base) and the electrical connector is formed so as to constitute a shield between the lead-in conductors or for the joint.

35, for hermetically sealed envelopes within the class definition with electrostatic or electromagnetic shields for the envelope or a part thereof.
