APPARATUS WITH CIRCUITS OSCILLATING UNDER MULTIPLE WAVE LENGTHS
Georges Lakhovsky, Paris, France
Application November 13, 1931, Serial No. 574,907
In France May 2, 1931
7 Claims. (Cl. 250-33)
The present invention has for its object an apparatus capable of sending out
simultaneously different wave lengths so that among these waves or their harmonics
there is found almost always one or several capable of producing the best effect
sought for any application whatever.
There is used for that purpose the property of open circuits having a fundamental
or natural self induction and capacity to oscillate upon a well determined wave
length if they are excited by electric impulses emanating from discharges of any
source.
The radiating part of the system, producing waves of various lengths, is therefore
constituted by a certain number of concentric open rings of different diameters,
which are maintained insulated by any appropriate means. These rings may or may
not be terminated by small spheres forming capacities.
These rings may be arranged either in the same plane or in different planes so as
to form any surfaces, such as portions of cones, spheres, paraboloids, ellipsoids,
etc. ..., these surfaces being of a nature to concentrate the waves in a determined
direction in the manner of a reflector, for example.
These rings may be fed by any producing device whatever of high frequency, for
example, a combination comprising a trembler coil (or any other transformer) and a
high frequency circuit provided with a self-induction coil and a capacity.
One or several points of this high frequency circuit is or are connected to the end
of one or several of the rings forming the radiating apparatus. The other rings not
connected are excited by induction.
The complete apparatus (coil, high frequency circuits, rings, etc. ...), may be mounted
in a box or upon a small board capable of sliding along a guide or rocking so as to be
able to be placed in the most convenient position.
In the accompanying drawing, by way of example, not limitative, there is shown:
Fig. 1 a diagram of the system.
Fig. 2 the position of the rings in the form of a cone.
Fig. 3 the apparatus mounted upon a foot or base.
In Fig. 1 there is seen at T the transformer or coil (P the primary, S the secondary of
this coil), V, the screw of the trembler, C the condenser the discharge of which across
the spark gap E produces oscillations in the self-induction coil L1, which in its
turn acts by induction upon the self-induction coil L2; this self-induction coil L2 is
connected on one side to the first exterior ring "a", on the other side to the
following ring "b". It thus forms an electrostatic field of high frequency which
induces oscillations in the other rings "c", "d", "e", "f".
As a modification, L2 may be suppressed and the rings "a" and "b" may be connected
each to one of the ends of L1.
One of the ends, or even any point of the self-induction coils L1 or L2 may likewise
be connected to any one of the rings.
Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of the rings in the form of a cone.
The open circuits "a", "b", "c", ..., "f" can be constituted by solid
conductors. They can also be tubular circuits, this being advantageous, since,
for the same bulk, the radiating surface is larger. Finally, the area of the
cross section of each of these various circuits can vary from one circuit to the
other for instance, this area can decrease from the periphery (ring "a") to the
center (ring "f") of the radiating system.
Fig. 3 shows the apparatus mounted upon a foot A along which it can slide, in order
to be placed at any desired height and upon a hinge B which allows it to be oriented
upon the horizon.
I claim: -
1. An apparatus adapted to produce electric fields of high frequency having
multiple wave lengths, comprising a high frequency producing device, a series of high

different diameters, the split ends being spaced from each other and terminating

TUBE FOR PRODUCING MULTIPLE WAVE LENGTHS
George Lakhovsky, New York, N. Y.; Anne-Marie Louise Lakhovsky,
administratrix of said George Lakhovsky, deceased, assignor to
Henry S. Blum, Chicago, Ill.
Application November 21, 1941, Serial No. 420,006
11 Claims. (Cl. 250-33)
This invention relates generally to electric devices excited by electric impulses
and more particularly to multiple wave length conducting and/or producing means. This invention has for
its primary object the provision of such means disposed within a vacuum tube or
a tube containing rare gas or gases.
My work over a period of more than 20 years has led me to the belief that there is a great need for means
conducting and/or producing multiple wave lengths which may be employed in many
industrial and medical fields. Suitable apparatus for producing waves of various
lengths is disclosed in my U. W. Letters Patent No. 1,962,565, dated June 12,
1934. Embodiments of this apparatus have been in use the world over. Because of
the need for simplification in such apparatus so that it may be handy and easily
used by persons lacking skill in electrical matters, I have concluded that by
providing one unit which incorporates oscillation generating means and another
in which the wave lengths are produced, the apparatus may be more universally
used in the treatment of cellular life in therapy, in the aging or treating of
liquids and in other industrial fields.
The present invention deals with those units, preferably combined with one another and constructed as a portable
device and as stated above, has for its major object the provision of a unitary
multiple wave length producing and/or conducting device in the form of a vacuum
tube.
The present invention further contemplates the incorporation in
such a tube, of means for varying the effect of wave lengths, or selectively
employing the means therefor enclosed in or forming part of said tube.
This invention further seeks to provide a tube of the indicated type
incorporating means for generating oscillations.
Another object of the invention is to provide a single unit which contains an oscillation generator,
which produces waves of definite frequency, and further inductance mans each
permitting emanation of wave lengths of various values.
The structural features of my invention also form a material part of this disclosure, the
objects and advantages being attained in structures such as shown in the
accompanying drawing, which exemplifies the invention. The following
specification, based on said drawing, more clearly points out the purposes and
advantages of my invention.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a vertical, partial sectional, partial elevational view of a tube incorporating
features of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of an alternate form thereof.
Fig. 3 illustrates in a similar manner a modified form of my
invention.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view of a modification made
in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 5 is a similar view of another modification.
Figs. 6 and 7 are sectional views illustrating type of
wires used in either of the forms of my invention as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
Fig. 8 is a partial sectional, partial elevational view illustrating a
tube incorporating a plurality of grids and selective capacity means for varying
the effects of said grids.
Fig. 9 is a similar view of a tube, such as shown in Figs. 1 or 2 and incorporating oscillating or vibrating means.
In that form of my invention shown in Fig. 1, there is provided a sealed
preferably transparent envelope (10) made of glass or like material affixed in
the usual manner to a screw or Edison plug (11). The latter is conventionally
provided with a shell terminal (12) and a central terminal (13). The support of
seal (14) of the tube serves to hold wires such as (15) and (16) which connect
to the terminals (12) and (13).
Connected to the wires (15) and (16) is a primary inductance member in the form of a loose coil (17) which may be
disposed axially of the envelope (10), as shown. The upper end of said member
(17) forms a tight wound coil (13) which serves to radiate the strongest induced
wave lengths.
Surrounding the primary inductance member (17), there are arranged a plurality of separate coils of wire each being of different length
and capacity. Thus, I provide a coil (19) having greatest capacity and
successive coils (20), (21), (22), (23), (24) and (25), each having less
capacity the the preceding coil. These coil (19) to (25) form secondary
inductance means each permitting emanation of a wave length of different
magnitude and value than the other.
I may support the secondary coil in several ways. As shown, I prefer to provide a dielectric member such as a glass
sleeve (26) surrounding the primary inductance wire member (17) and to mount the
secondary coils (19) to (25) on the outer surface of said sleeve, leaving the
coil (18) exposed at the top thereof. In order to effectively support and
centralize the glass sleeve (26), I provide spacing washers (27) and (28) of
mica or the like, top and bottom, and provide a supporting cross-piece (29) on
the lower portion of the wire (17).
The tube above described may be employed as indicated for the treatment of cellular structures by connecting it
to any one of the rings in the electrostatic field of high frequency, such as
shown in said U. S. Letters Patent No. 1,962,565, each of the coils (18) to (25)
producing by induction a different wavelength, as can be understood.
In the form of my invention shown in Fig. 2, the envelope (10a) is somewhat
differently shaped, and the wire (17a) straight instead of arranged as an open
coil. In other respects, the structure follows that described with reference to
Fig. 1.
As show in Fig. 3, there may be arranged a plurality of open rings (30), (31), (32), (33), (34), (35), (36), (37), (38), (39) and (40) in
frustro-conical form, for instance, with the largest of said rings at the top
and the smallest one adjacent the bottom. I have shown said rings as supported,
for instance, by glass posts (41) and (42), said posts being supported on the
seal (14b), as by a band (43). I provide extensions for the terminal wires (15a)
and (16a) and connect said extensions (44) and (45) to the upper ring (30) and
the next lower ring (31), respectively.
The rings (30) and (31) may become the primary inductance members, whereas the remaining rings constitute
the secondary inductance members as before set forth. Electric current conducted
to the suitably spaced rings (30), (31) will cause a spark (48) to be drawn
between the rings (30) and (31) providing oscillations emanating from electrical
discharges there-between and causing the radiation of waves of various lengths
within the envelope (10b) and affecting the remaining rings.
In Figs. 1 and 2, I have shown the secondary coils as formed of wires having uniform
cross-section. Fig. 4 illustrates how such wires may be made progressively
smaller in the succeeding coils (19c), (20c), and (21c), etc. In such various
manners, the wave length producing effect of the secondary coils or rings may be
arrived at.
The secondary coils or rings may be round or somewhat flattened wire as shown in Fig. 6 or tubular as in Fig. 7, offering a yet
greater flexibility of design.
The devices of Figs. 1 and 2 above described may be incorporated in the system shown in said U. S. Letters Patent
by connecting one of the rings (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) with plug (11) of
Fig. 1, since either terminal (15), (16) is in contact with primary inductance
member (17). To this end a conductor (not shown) connects such a ring with said
plug or socket.
In Fig. 8, I have shown a modification of the invention
which comprises a vacuum tube (50) containing a plate (51) and a plurality of
different wave lengths producing grids (52), (53), and (54). I connect each grid
with a variable capacity device, such as (55), (56), and (57) carried by said
tube (50) and preferably by its base support (62), whereby the grids may be
selectively connected into an operating circuit (not shown) by means of the
respective prongs (58), (59), and (60), and the place prong (61). Heating or
other exciting means may be incorporated in the tube in a well-known manner.
This combination tube (50) is designed to replace a plurality of known tubes
each operating with different and variable wave length effect, more exterior
manipulation at said base support brings about change of the capacities (55),
(56), and (57) and cutting in one or more of the grids (52), (53), and (54).
The effect of the spark as produced in form of the invention depicted in
Fig. 3 may be further utilized in Fig. 9 in which I also incorporate a vibrator
(62) which produces electrical oscillations by a spark intermittently generated
between the end of the primary inductance member (17d) and vibrator armature
(64). In other respects the structure follows that of Fig. 1.
It may be noted that any type of spark producing or oscillation generating means may be
substituted for the vibrator shown. The tubes shown in Figs. 3 and 9 may be used
in the manner described for Fig. 1 by connecting one terminal of the base as set
forth to produce an induction effect. These tubes may be also connected across
both terminals with a suitable potential to obtain the spark effect.
From the foregoing it may be seen that I have provided tubes in various
forms for the purpose of generating and conducting multiple wave lengths. Other
forms of the invention may be produced within the spirit and scope of the
invention as claimed.
