Current limited voltage supply

Claim 1

A CURRENT LIMITED VOLTAGE SUPPLY COMPRISING: A SOURCE OF LOW POTENTIAL ALTERNATING CURRENT, A FIRST AND A SECOND TRANSISTOR, EACH HAVING AN EMITTER, A COLLECTOR AND A BASE, THE EMITTER-COLLECTOR CIRCUIT OF THE SECOND TRANSISTOR BEING CONNECTED ACROSS THE EMITTER-BASE CIRCUIT OF THE FIRST TRANSISTOR, MEANS COUPLED TO THE FIRST TRANSISTOR FOR CONVERTING THE LOW POTENTIAL ALTERNATING SOURCE CURRENT TO A HIGH POTENTIAL OUTPUT CURRENT, RECTIFYING MEANS CONNECTED IN SERIES WITH THE LOW POTENTIAL SOURCE, THE EMITTER-COLLECTOR CIRCUIT OF THE FIRST TRANSISTOR AND THE POTENTIAL CONVERTING MEANS, SAID TRANSISTOR CIRCUIT PROVIDING A LOW IMPEDANCE PATH THROUGH THE RECTIFYING MEANS WHEN CONDUCTIVE, AND MEANS RESPONSIVE TO AN INCREASE IN OUTPUT CURRENT TO A PREDETERMINED VALUE FOR FORWARD BIASING THE BASE OF THE SECOND TRANSISTOR TO SHUNT THE BASE TO EMITTER CIRCUIT OF THE FIRST TRANSISTOR THEREBY INCREASING THE IMPEDANCE OF THE FIRST TRANSISTOR AND LIMITING THE OUTPUT CURRENT OF THE SUPPLY TO A PREDETERMINED MAGNITUDE TO PERMIT TRANSISTORIZED CONTROL OF A HIGH POTENTIAL AT A LOW POTENTIAL POINT IN THE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
