Magnetic impulse generator

Claim 1

A MAGNETIC IMPULSE GENERATOR COMPRISING A MAGNETIZABLE CORE MEANS HAVING SPACED PROTRUDING FIRST AND SECOND MAGNETIZABLE POLE PIECES, COIL MEANS SURROUNDING SAID CORE, A PERMANENT MAGNET MEANS MOUNTED IN FLUXCONDUCTING RELATION ON SAID CORE MEANS INTERMEDIATE SAID POLE PIECES, A MAGNETIZABLE ARMATURE PIVOTABLY SUPPORTED INTERMEDIATE ITS END PORTIONS ON SAID PERMANENT MAGNET MEANS, SAID END PORTIONS OVERLYING THE EXPOSED END FACES OF SAID POLE PIECES, RESPECTIVELY, WITH ONE OF SAID END PORTIONS SPACED FROM ITS ASSOCIATED END FACE WHILE THE OTHER OF SAID END PORTIONS IS IN ENGAGEMENT WITH ITS ASSOCIATED END FACE IN ONE OF TWO TURNED POSITIONS OF SAID ARMATURE ABOUT ITS PIVOT AND WITH SAID OTHER END PORTION IN ENGAGEMENT WITH ITS ASSOCIATED END FACE AND SAID ONE END PORTION SPACED FROM ITS ASSOCIATED END FACE IN ANOTHER TURNED POSITION OF SAID ARMATURE ABOUT ITS PIVOT, AN OPERATOR MEANS OPERABLE TO ROCK SAID ARMATURE ABOUT ITS PIVOT TO EFFECT SAID ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID POLE PIECES, SELECTIVELY, SAID OPERATOR MEANS INCLUDING A PIVOTABLY SUPPORTED OPERATING LEVER HAVING PUSH-BUTTON MEANS ATTACHED AT ITS OPPOSITE ENDS, RESPECTIVELY, SAID OPERATING LEVER BEING SPACIALLY ALIGNED WITH SAID ARMATURE IN A MANNER SUCH THAT SELECTIVE DEPRESSION OF SAID PUSH-BUTTON MEANS PIVOTS SAID OPERATING LEVER INTO CONTACT WITH SAID ARMATURE SO AS TO IMPART SAID ROCKING MOTION THERETO, ENGAGEMENT OF SAID ARMATURE WITH A POLE PIECE CAUSING THE RELUCTANCE OF THE MAGNETIC LOOP INCLUDING SAID CORE MEANS AND THE ONE OF SAID POLE PIECES BEING ENGAGED TO BE SUDDENLY REDUCED THEREBY INDUCING A VOLTAGE IMPULSE IN SAID COIL MEANS, AND SAID ROCKING MOTION OF SAID ARMATURE BEING MAGNETICALLY ASSISTED TO CAUSE SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM ACCELERATION OF SAID ARMATURE INDEPENDENTLY OF THE SPEED OF SAID OPERATOR MEANS IN THE REGION OF CLOSE PROXIMITY THEREOF TO THE ONE OF SAID POLE PIECES BEING ENGAGED.
