Generating systems used for household purposes or farm lighting or the like are often ca1led *up'on to serve translating devices which require frequent operation such as a refrlgeratlng apparatus. The capacity of these translating devices are such whereby it isdeslrable to supply someof the energy directly from the dyn'amo of the lighting system, however, due to the fre: quent occurrence of a demandfor energy by i the translating device, it would be unecoingthexdynamo. 1 a 1 One of the objectsfoffithepresentinvention is to provide sin-electrical generating system including:electrical apparatus, such circuit. One manner of preventingthe operation of the systenimexcept upon, for example, everyother demand for current is to provide a switch responsive to a demand for circuit.
nomical to render the dynamo operative 'upon every demand by the translating device because of the energy required in startasa dynamo, and a storagebattery,which system will be rendered operative only upon intermittent deniandsyfor current by a work In carrying out this idea oftheinvention it is a further object; to provide means for causing the storage battery to supply a demEIIlCl forw current by the qwork circuit and for causing thesystem to be rendered operative to supply the current "demand upon alternate demands for currentby the work current by the work circuit for controlling meaty the dynamism amount equal to or more than one-half ofitstotal output while the workn machine contained in the work circuit-is operating therefrom. i
the necessary circuits for renderinglthelsystem operative, @whichswitch is adapted to render the system operative jonce for every two operationsthereof.
i It a furthenobjectto provide for supplying thestorage battery fwith charging curj Further objects and advantages of the present invention willbe apparent fromthe following description; reference being had to the accompanyng drawing, wherein a present invention qrelates to electrilarraim'rns 1929, serial No; 382,051, a
preferred form of the presentinveritionis clearly shown.
i In the drawing:
The figure inthe drawing is a wiring diagram illustrating the present invention;
Referring tolthe draWingQO designates generally a prime mover hereinshown, for a i the purpose ofillustration, asQaninternal combustionengine havinga shaft 21 which drives an electrical apparatus or dynamo221 having main brushes 23 and 24 connected to the armature of the dynamo and having a starting seriesufield winding 25 and a shunt field winding 26. i
The ignitionjapparatus comprises an:
tioncoil primary 30, an ignition timer 31 and an; ignition coil secondary which is connected toan engine spark plug 33.1 i i i A choke 88 forming a proper mixture of; gasoline andalr, for startlng theprime mov er,a11da throttle 39 for regulatingythe speed of the prime mover, are adapted to beactu atedby the controls 40 and 41 respectively,
a The dynamo 22 functions as 1a motor or as a generator, and is adaptedtorotate the shaft 21' ofth e prime mover 20,;when acting as a startingtmotor, receiving; current from astorage battery 45; During the starting of theprime mover 20, the current through the series winding 25 and the shuntwinding 26 is cumulative to produce a sufiicientstart ingtorque for cranking the primemover.
j-When the load demand on a lighting circuita4c8 is less than a predetermined value5the storage battery 45 is adapted to supply 1 such demand; The current to thelighting circuit a 48 will flow from the battery 45 throughthe following circuit: battery 45, wire 5O,w1re
51,Ywire52-, winding 53 ofcontrol ll, wire 55, contacts 57 and 58, service main59,sma 'll translating device or lights 60, service mean 61, current coil 62 of a starting switch relay 63, wire 65 and :wire :66 the battery.
to the other side "of A low voltage cut-out 7O adapted to separate contacts 57 and 58 when the voltage of the battery is abnormally low, The low voltage cut-oh. 7 0 includes apivoted armature 'i'lwhich carriesthe contact 58, and amagnet coil72 having. its endsconnected across the lighting ar na 48 1 1 pa uei with the trans- .lating devices 6-0. WVhen the voltage of the V 1 battery is, less than ai'predetermined low value, the coil '72will not' be energized su'fliciently to hold the armature 71 in the position shown in drawing Thus the armature 71 will descend by gravity to separate-contact 57 from contact 58, thereby interrupting thefiow; of current from the battery: 515 to .thework circuit48; v i When there is a loaddeniand forcurrent" f by the lighting circuit 48 in excess o iaprede termined value, for example seven amperes,

timer 31, wire 87, wire '88," wire 89, series winding of a reverse current .relay "91 and wire" 66 to the other side of the battery. The, closing of contacts76and77 also allows current to flowffrom thebattery 4:5 to a mage net coil 92 of a starting switch 93'. The start- 1 ing switch93includesthe coil 92 andapivoted I armature 943 which carries a contact 95. -Thelenergizing e1 1 ,the'-c0il*92 will cause thearmature '94 tobe drawn upwardly to engage contact 95fw ith acontact' 96. The circuit from the batterv45th'rough the coilf92 is asit'ollows battery 45, wire 50, wire80, blades 81 'and 82; wir83,contacts.77 ;and 76, wire 1 85,wir'e 98,1hagnet coil 92, Wire 99, wire 89,:

f Q The current T flowing through the; series winding 90 of the reverse current relay 91 a during crankingis adapted to magneti ze the frame; of relay,91 includingjside plates or polepieces and 106 whereby said plates 105 and-106 will be, for example, northand south poles respectively. The relay 91 also-v includes rocking armature 108 having 1 a 7 shunt iwindingl09, which winding is @011 nected 'across the batteryASV The. circuit fromthe battery45 to the shunt winding 109 is as follows :1' battery 45, wire 50, fwirej8'0,

Wire 89, series winding 90 and wire 66to the other side of the battery. The armature 108 i includes side plates and 116 which plates are adapted-to be magnetizednorthand south poles respectively "by shunt Winding 109.
'VVhen no current is flowing in the windings '90 and 109.,armature'108 is in theiposition shown, it being resiliently held in such pO'Sltion a spring; (263). When the current flows, through the series winding 90 during cranking, like poles of therelay frame and armature will repelv and thus" urge the arma c0ntact121.
Thee'ngagement of jcontacts 120121 allows currentwtoflowcfrom the battery through the followingcircuit when contacts wire .50, wire 80, blades 81' and 82, wire 83,

The pre-heater130 is adapted; to heatthe starting fuel mixture for the prime mover120. Duringlcranlring operationthe current flows through the shunt winding 128of relay'68 to cooperate with the current coil 62f'to insuremaintainingof con? tact between contacts -76;and77.
V 'The flow ofj cu'rrent through the/magnet 1 coil 100 of thechoke control 40 tends to raise the control plunger 140 upwardly which plunger carries the choke; 38. The upward movement of the plunger 140 will cause the chokef38 toshutoflt' theair passage 141, thus decreasing the "quantity of airand conse quently; allowing a greater volume of gaso- 11116 10 ,passthrough a pipe 143 and into the carburetor to thus provide. a relatively rich starting fuel mixture for the prime mover. The control-LO'is adapted to functionforfa A V 1 120 short interval, namely, only when a heavy de- 7 1 mand for current is made on the battery e5 present fora shortinterval. h v Thus when there is a predetermined dc-.
