Abstract

1432453 Touch switches MAGIC DOT Inc 13 Aug 1973 [28 Aug 1972] 38226/73 Heading G1N The touch plate is connected to the input 52 of an A.C. energized amplifier 12 and normally floats at about ten volts (and power frequency) above earth ground. When touched the body capacity charging currents cause an output signal which is rectified at 45 to charge a storage (smoothing) capacitor at the input of a switching amplifier 30. A transistor amplifier and switching circuit is illustrated in Fig. 4 (not shown). In the first stage amplifier 12 the emitter is connected by a resistor to the base input circuit to provide the floating voltage. The amplifier 30 may include an F.E.T. input (not shown). The power supply transformer may be replaced by a potential divider Fig. 3 (not shown). [GB1432453A]
