Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
APPARATUS COMPRISING AN ALTERNATING CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL SOURCE, A PAIR OF ZENER DIODES HAVING OPPOSITE TERMINAL REGIONS CONNECTED TOGETHER, A SILICON CONTROLLED RECTIFIER SWITCH HAVING A GATE ELECTRODE, AN INPUT CIRCUIT CONNECTING SAID ZENER DIODES IN SERIES WITH SAID INPUT SIGNAL SOURCE AND SAID GATE ELECTRODE TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF FIRING VOLTAGE, SAID INPUT CIRCUIT INCLUDING A RESISTOR AND CAPACITOR CONNECTED ACROSS SAID INPUT SIGNAL SOURCE AND A RESISTOR CONNECTED IN PARALLEL WITH SAID CAPACITOR, SAID CAPACITOR PREVENTING SAID RECTIFIER SWITCH FROM CUTTING OFF IN RESPONSE TO SAID INPUT SIGNAL VARYING IN MAGNITUDE WITHIN A PREDETERMINED RANGE BELOW A PREDETERMINED LEVEL, AN ALTERNATING CURRENT EXCITATION SOURCE, A RELAY COIL, MEANS FOR CONNECTING SAID SILICON CONTROLLED RECTIFIER SWITCH IN SERIES WITH SAID RELAY COIL AND SAID EXCITATION SOURCE, AND A CAPACITOR CONNECTED ACROSS SAID RELAY COIL.
