Abstract

A cap member comprises a cylindrical part, an annular top plate part having an opening formed at a central portion thereof and being configured to cover one end of the cylindrical part, a window glass disposed inside the cylindrical part, and an adhesion member configured to adhere the top plate part and the window glass each other. The top plate part is depressed so that an opening end of the opening enters an inside of the cylindrical part, and an inner surface of the top plate part is configured as a flat inclined surface from a coupling part between the cylindrical part and the top plate part to the opening end.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cap member comprising:
a cylindrical part;
an annular top plate part having an opening formed at a central portion thereof and being configured to cover one end of the cylindrical part;
a window glass disposed inside the cylindrical part; and
an adhesion member configured to adhere the top plate part and the window glass to each other,
wherein the top plate part is depressed so that an opening end of the opening enters an inside of the cylindrical part, and an inner surface of the top plate part is configured as a flat inclined surface from a coupling part between the cylindrical part and the top plate part to the opening end, and
wherein the cylindrical part and the top plate part have a substantially same thickness, and the thickness of an entirety of the top plate part is substantially uniform.

2. The cap member according to claim 1 , wherein one surface of the window glass is in contact with a tip end of the top plate part protruding toward the inside of the cylindrical part, and
wherein the adhesion member is provided between the inner surface of the top plate part and the window glass.

3. The cap member according to claim 1 , wherein an angle of a V-shape formed by lines extending along upper surfaces of the top plate part in a cross-section is set to a range of 130° to 160°.

4. The cap member according to claim 1 , wherein an inclination angle of the inner surface of the top plate part relative to a horizontal surface is set to a range of 25° to 10°.

5. The cap member according to claim 1 , wherein the entirety of the top plate part and an entirety of walls defining the cylindrical part have the substantially same thickness.

6. A light-emitting device comprising:
a cap member comprising:
a cap main body including:
a cylindrical part, and
an annular top plate part having an opening formed at a central portion and being configured to cover one end of the cylindrical part, the top plate part being depressed so that an opening end of the opening enters an inside of the cylindrical part, an inner surface of the top plate part being configured as a flat inclined surface from a coupling part between the cylindrical part and the top plate part to the opening end, and the cylindrical part and the top plate part have a substantially same thickness, and the thickness of an entirety of the top plate part is substantially uniform;
a window glass disposed inside the cylindrical part of the cap main body, and
an adhesion member configured to adhere the top plate part and the window glass to each other;
a stem having an element mounting part; and
a light-emitting element mounted on the element mounting part,
wherein the cap member is fixed to the stem, and the light-emitting element is hermetically sealed by the cap member.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein the entirety of the top plate part and an entirety of walls defining the cylindrical part have the substantially same thickness.
