Claims

1. A CIRCUIT FOR CHARGING A BATTERY HAVING A FIRST AND A SECOND OUTPUT TERMINAL BY USING A DIRECT CURRENT GENERATOR HAVING AN ARMATURE WINDING AND A FIELD COIL, COMPRISING (1) A FIRST RELAY CORE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC MATERIAL;

(2) A FIRST CONDUCTOR WOUND ABOUT SAID FIRST RELAY CORE AND HAVING FIRST AND SECOND ENDPOINTS;

(3) A SECOND CONDUCTOR WOUND ABOUT SAID FIRST RELAY CORE AND HAVING A FIRST ENDPOINT CONNECTED THE SECOND OUTPUT TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY AND A SECOND ENDPOINT CONNECTED TO THE FIRST ENDPOINT OF SAID FIRST CONDUCTOR;

(4) A FIRST PAIR OF CONTACT POINTS CONSISTING OF A FIRST CONTACT POINT CONNECTED TO THE FIRST OUTPUT TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY AND A SECOND CONTACT POINT CONNECTED TO THE FIRST ENDPOINT OF THE SAID FIRST CONDUCTOR, WHICH PAIR OF CONTACT POINTS ARE POSITIONALLY RESPONSIVE TO THE CHARACTER OF THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT FLOWING THROUGH THE SAID FIRST AND SECOND CONDUCTORS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT SAID FIRST PAIR OF CONTACT POINTS ARE IN ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER WHEN THE CURRENT IN THE SAID FIRST AND SECOND CONDUCTORS IS ABOVE A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT, AND NOT IN ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER WHEN THE CURRENT IN THE SAID FIRST AND SECOND CONDUCTORS IS BELOW A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT;

(5) A SECOND RELAY CORE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC MATERIAL;

(6) A THIRD CONDUCTOR WOUND ABOUT SAID SECOND RELAY CORE AND HAVING A FIRST ENDPOINT CONNECTED TO THE SECOND ENDPOINT OF SAID FIRST CONDUCTOR AND A SECOND ENDPOINT CONNECTED TO BOTH ARMATURE WINDING OF THE GENERATOR AND THE FIELD COIL OF THE GENERATOR;

AND (7) A TRIO OF CONTACT POINTS COMPRISING FIRST AND SECOND CONTACT POINTS CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER AND A THIRD CONTACT POINT CONNECTED TO THE SECOND OUTPUT TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY, WHICH TRIO OF CONTACT POINTS ARE POSITIONALLY RESPONSIVE TO THE CHARACTER OF THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT FLOWING THROUGH THE SAID THIRD CONDUCTOR IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE FIRST AND THIRD CONTACT POINTS ARE IN ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER WHEN THE CUR RENT IN THE SAID THIRD CONDUCTOR IS BELOW A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT, AND THE SECOND AND THIRD CONTACT POINTS ARE IN ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER WHEN THE CURRENT IN THE SAID THIRD CONDUCTOR IS ABOVE A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT.
