SIGNALING DEVICE,

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 24, 1917.

- Application filed January 28, 1914. Serial No. 814,989.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST J. KLoNEoK, a citizen of the German Empire, having declared my intention to become a citizen of the United States and received my first citi-' zen papers, residing at New York, inthe county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Signaling Devices, of which the following isa specification. I

This invention relates to signaling devices produce high frequency electrical oscillations with greater efficiency than those hitherto in use.

A further object is to provide an apparatus and an arrangement of electric circuits for generating high frequency .currents, whereby a weak electric current induces powerful high frequency oscillations. 7 Another object is to provide the apparatus with an arrangement of electric circuits for amplifying electric currents. The invention consists of certain novel features of electric circuits and combinations 2 represents a tube of a suitable fied arrangement of of parts hereinafter In the accompanying drawings are shown several arrangements of electric circuits and,

apparatus; but it will be understood that I do not limit myself to the arrangements set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as may fall within the scope of the appended claims.

In the drawings, in which similar numerals designate similar parts; Figure 1 illustrates my apparatus with one form of electric circuits for generating high frequency currents, Fig. 2 illustrates the apparatus with a modified arrangement of electric circuits. Fig. 3 illustrates the apparatus with another modielectric circuits, of which the inducing'current' of the transmitter excites the field magnet of the electric generator and thereby changes the current flux through the oscillator.

By reference to the drawings, an incandescent lamp with an enlarged bulb,

vided to be heated and penetrable for gas in the heated condition, serving-to change the contents of the bulb; 3 an 4 are suitable electrodes of metal plates or wires conveniently arranged within the bulb, having a conductor to the exterior, 5-is the blow out coil, provided within or M lhe coil 5 sets up a magnetic field perpento that ance-within the bulb described and more par- 7 'ticularly pointed out in the claims.

1 represents metal, pro-.

beyond the htilb.

microphones, the numeral 9 represents the primary of an oscillation transformer.

The operation of the oscillator is similar of the are,

.tery 6 the resultant electronic radiation from the heated filament breaks down the resistbetween electrodes 3 and 4, permitting current to flow in the nature of an are from one electrode to the other. Included in the circuit of electrodes 3 and 4 and generator 7 is the coil 5, which when the arc current begins to flow sets up a magnetic field within the bulb in a direction perpendicular to the arc itself. This blows out the arc and the cycle is repeated, thussetting up a high frequency current. The electromagnetic field, due to coil 5, may take a short time to build up after the are between electrodes 3 and 4 has begun and when the coil 9 of the oscillation transformer is connected in shunt to the oscillator as in Fig. 1, the current to the transformer is diminished through the radiation of current between the electrodes, while when the transformer 9 is connected in sewhich may be of the arc type, except that instead ries with the coil 5, the generator 7 andthe electrode, as shown in Fig. 3, radiation causes the coil 9 of the transformer to be energized. It will be obvious that the apparatus will amplify currents of any device whether that of a transmitter or of a receiving apparatus. Such instrument can be included in the circuit in different manners, and in the drawings only such connections are illustrated, as permit the use of an ordinary transmitter 8 anda source of a small electrical current to vary a powerful sending current. In Fig. 1 the transmitter is connected in series with ter energizes the blow out coil 5 and decreases the radiation of the main current, or the transmitter 8 may be connected 1n SBIIGS with the filament, the battery 6 and a resistance 13, causingradiation of the main current, as Fig. 2 illustrates. .Fig. 3 illustrates the transmitter in series with the small generator 7 and field coil 7 of the main generator 7 The transmitter varies the magnetism in the field magnet of the main generator, thus varying currents in increased to a considerable time.
