UNITE STATES BENNO F. JANCKE, F BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, A.SSIGNOR T0 EASTERN LABORATORIES,
t1,506,344 PATENT oFFlcE.
INC., OF NEVJ YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
VIOLET-RAY GENERATOR.
Application filed January 31, 1923.
To all 'whom t may concern Be it known that l, BnNNo FREDERICK JANoKn, a citizen of the German Republic, and residing at Number 1406 Pacific Street,
in the borough of Brooklyn, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Violet-Ray Generators, of which the following is a specilication.
This invention relates to violet ray generators of the applicator type, that is, designed primarily for therapeutic use, and aims to provide improvements therein.
The invention provides a device of the character referred to, of simple construe` tion, capable of ready and economical manufacture, and hence capable of sale at a popular price.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in
which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the generator showing a so-called applicator connected thereto.
Fig. 2 is a view partly in section and partly in elevation of a spool or framework, in which the various electrical parts are conveniently mounted.
F ig. 3 is a diagrammatic view showing the electrical construction and arrangement.
Referring to said drawings, numeral 10 designates a spool or framework, having a socket or other means of attachment 12 in one end, adapted to hold an electrode 14 i of the applicator type therein and wit-hin which is generated the violet ray to which the therapeutic action of the device is due. This spool 10 is adapted to lit within aftube or sleeve 16, and the spool is conveniently formed with a head 18 at one end, which closes one end of said tube, said head 18 being preferably slightly tapered as indicated at 19, so as to enter the tube easily and make a tight fit therewith, said head also being conveniently formed with a shoulder 20 against which the end of the tube 16 abuts. Behind the head 18 the spool is of reduced diameter, as indicated at 25, 26, to afford space within the tube 16 for the primary and secondary windings 27, 28 of the high-tension transformer or spark coil 30, and for a choke-coil or inductance 32 and a condenser 34. The end 37 of the spool is conveniently of enlarged diameter, correspending to the inside diameter of the tube Serial No. 616,091.
16, and serves to support the said tube, and also toform a support or base for the interrupter or sparking electrodes 40, 41. The spool 1() is also preferably provided with an annular enlargement 44 about midway between the head 18 and the opposite enlargement 37, and of a diameter corresponding to that of the tube 16, which serves to support the middle portion of said tube and divides the space between the ends of the spool.
On the end enlargement 37 there is conveniently provided two posts 46 which support a bridge piece 47, and preferably also a disc 48, of insulating material. The sparking electrode 41 is supported by said bridge piece 47, the said electrode being preferably mounted on a threaded rod 49 by means of which the distance apart of the electrodes 40, 41 may be adjusted and the intensity of the violet ray controlled. The tube 16 preferably extends beyond said disk 48, so as to close the adjacent end of said tube and consequently enclose the parts on the end portion 87 of said spool.
The spool 10 is preferably bored at each end, asindicated at 50, 51, the former serving for the receptio-n of an iron core for strengthening the magnetic effect of the choke-coil 32. The recess 51 serves for receiving a tang 54 on a conducting thimble 55, 4and connection of the end of the sec ondary winding 28, to the tang 54 is conveniently made through a small hole 57.
The electrical arrangement is conventional, the secondary 28 being connected to the applicator 14, at one end as indi cated at 60, Fig. 3, and grounded on the primary 27, as indicated at 61. The primary is connected to the lead wire 70 through a conductor 71 on one side, and to lead wire 73 through choke-coil or indue tance 32, interrupter or sparking electrodes 40, 41, and conductor 74 on the other side. The condenser 34 is placed in shunt with the primary 27 by wires 7G, 77 7 8 leading to conductor 71', and to the interrupter 40, 41. An oscillatory discharge is produced between the sparking electrodes 40, 41, which sets up oscillations in the primary 27, thereby inducing high-tension currents in the secondary 28, thereby producing the violet* ray discharge in the rareiied applicator tube 14.
The inventive idea may receive other embodiments than that herein speciiically illus` trated and described.
