Control circuit for motor of electric jogging device

Claim 1

A safety system for a control circuit of a motor of an electric jogging device, the control circuit having a power input terminal connected to a main control loop, a power on-off switch interposed between the power input terminal and the main control loop, a minor control loop connected to the main control loop, a safety system loop connected to the minor control loop and a motor connected to the main control loop, the safety system comprising: a) a safety switch interposed between the power on-off switch and the main control loop, the safety switch actuated between on and off positions by a safety plug-in pin whereby the safety switch is in the on position when engaged by safety plug-in pin and is in the off position when the safety plug-in pin is disengaged, thereby shutting off electrical power to the main control loop; b) an isolation transformer connected to the power input terminal, and having a first portion connected to the minor control loop and a second portion connected to the safety system loop; and, c) a sensor connected to the safety system loop which detects the operative state of the motor such that an operative malfunction of the motor is sensed by the sensor which signals the safety system loop to stop the supply of power to the motor via the main control loop.
