Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A high-voltage generating device comprising a piezo-electric element, a driven member of an electrical conductor disposed on one side of said piezo-electric element, an abutment member of an electrical conductor disposed on the other side of said piezo-electric element, an outer casing of an electrical insulator accommodating said piezo-electric element therein in such a relation that said conductive abutment member is partly exposed to the exterior of said outer casing, an inner casing telescopically received in said outer casing, said inner casing accommodating therein a hammer for imparting an impact to said conductive driven member and a hammer spring for imparting a drive force to said hammer, a return spring for normally biasing said inner casing in a return direction in which said inner casing protrudes partly from said outer casing, and a strip of an electrical conductor pressed at one end thereof against said conductive driven member by said return spring and exposed at the other end thereof to the exterior of said outer casing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
A high-voltage generating device comprising a piezo-electric element, a driven member of an electrical conductor disposed on one side of said piezo-electric element, an abutment member of an electrical conductor disposed on the other side of said piezo-electric element, an outer casing of an electrical insulator accommodating said piezo-electric element therein in such a relation that said conductive abutment member is partly exposed to the exterior of said outer casing, an inner casing telescopically received in said outer casing, said inner casing accommodating therein a hammer for imparting an impact to said conductive driven member and a hammer spring for imparting a drive force to said hammer, a return spring for normally biasing said inner casing in a return direction in which said inner casing protrudes partly from said outer casing, and a strip of an electrical conductor pressed at one end thereof against said conductive driven member by said return spring and exposed at the other end thereof to the exterior of said outer casing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
99 words
A high-voltage generating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said conductive strip has a generally L-like shape and is formed at one end thereof with a hole adapted to receive a portion of said conductive driven member therein, the intermediate portion of said conductive strip being interposed between the inner face of said outer casing and said return spring, and the other end of said conductive strip is exposed to the exterior of said outer casing through a hole bored at the corresponding position of the end portion of said outer casing telescopically receiving said inner casing therein.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A high-voltage generating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outer peripheral area of the end portion of said outer casing telescopically receiving said inner casing therein is threaded for the purpose of mounting said device on a panel, and a flange is formed at that end of said outer casing in contiguous relation with said externally threaded portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A high-voltage generating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said inner casing is molded from an electrical insulating resin.
