Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
FOR USE IN A VOLTAGE REGULATOR FOR A GENERATOR HAVING AN INPUT CIRCUIT INCLUDING A FIELD COIL AND AN OUTPUT CIRCUIT COUPLED TO A VEHICLE BATTERY FOR AUGMENTING THE POTENTIAL APPEARING AT THE BATTERY TERMINALS, THE COMBINATION OF A VOLTAGE SENSING STAGE COUPLED ACROSS SAID BATTERY TERMINALS OPERATIVE IN RESPONSE TO MINUTE DEVIATIONS OF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE FROM A DESIRED VALUE TO PROVIDE OUTPUT PULSES TO SAID FIELD COIL WHICH VARY IN DUTY CYCLE AND FREQUENCY WITH DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF THE VOLTAGE FROM SAID DESIRED VALUE; AND CONTROL MEANS CONNECTED BETWEEN SAID VOLTAGE SENSING STAGE AND SAID FIELD COIL FOR REGULATING THE ENERGIZATION LEVEL OF THE FIELD COIL IN RESPONSE TO THE PRESENCE AND ABSENCE OF SAID PULSES, WHEREBY THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF SAID GENERATOR WHICH AUGMENTS SAID BATTERY VOLTAGE
