Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
IN A WELDING TIMER FOR TIMING A PRECISE NUMBER OF CYCLES OF AN ALTERNATING VOLTAGE SOURCE, THE COMBINATION COMPRISING: A FIRST VALVE; DIRECT CURRENT SOURCE MEANS FOR SUPPLYINNG A POSITIVE D.C. POTENTIAL TO THE ANODE MEMBER OF SAID FIRST VALVE; MEANS SUPPLYING VOLTAGE IN PHASE WITH SAID SOURCE VOLTAGE TO THE CONTROL MEMBER OF SAID FIRST VALVE; AND CONNECTION MEANS CONNECTING THE CATHODE MEMBER OF SAID FIRST VALVE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF SAID DIRECT CURRENT SOURCE AT A PRESELECTED POINT IN THE WAVEFORM OF SAID ALTERNATING VOLTAGE, WHEREBY SAID FIRST VALVE BEGINS CONDUCTION AT A PRESELECTED POINT IN THE WAVEFORM OF SAID ALTERNATING VOLTAGE AND WHEREIN SAID FIRST VALVE CONDUCTS INTERMITTENTLY AT THE FREQUENCY OF THE VOLTAGE SOURCE FOR PRODUCING AN INTERMITTENT POSITIVE POTENTIAL ON THE ANODE MEMBER THEREOF.
