ABSTRACT:
The discharge tube of this invention does not employ special shapes of electrodes that are difficult to manufacture, but can still provide a uniform electric field. The electrodes are disposed in the inwardly drawn portions of the cylindrical body in such a way that the opposing front end surfaces of the electrodes are recessed from the inner surfaces of the inwardly drawn portions in a direction that they move away from each other. The discharge electrodes therefore do not project into the inner space of the cylindrical body but are enclosed by the inwardly drawn portions so that they are protected against influences of external electric fields from outside the discharge tube, thus assuring stable and reliable discharges.
