`
`CONSTANT ILLUMINATION FLASHLIGHT
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`The presentinvention relates generally to a flashlight
`for providing a relatively constant illumination output
`over the useful service life of batteries employed therein
`despite the relatively poor voltage maintenance charac-
`teristics of the batteries during discharge. More particu-
`larly the subject invention pertains to a simple and inex—
`pensive circuit for incorporation in a flashlight which
`provides a relatively constant power supply to an incan-
`descent bulb therein over substantially the entire useful
`service life of the flashlight batteries. The circuit gener-
`ates a pulse train for the incandescent lamp and provides
`a relatively constant power supply by varying the duty
`cycle thereof by generating pulses having a greater
`pulse width as the voltage from the power supply bat-
`teries declines.
`2. Discussion of the Prior Art
`Traditional batteries employed as a power supply for
`incandescent flashlights have very poor voltage mainte-
`nance characteristics over their useful service life. Tra—
`ditional batteries of the kind discussed herein typically
`include aqueous electrolyte, manganese dioxide batter-
`ies such as zinc carbon or zinc chloride batteries or
`manganese alkaline batteries. As an example, a conven—
`tional zinc carbon commercially designated 908 battery
`provides only four to four and one half hours of contin-
`uous service, with an initial illumination output of forty—
`five lumens and a change in illumination over its useful
`life of approximately five to one, thereby producing an
`output near the end of its service life of only nine lu-
`mens. Moreover, as the battery discharges the lower
`voltage results in a substantial filament color change in
`the incandescent bulb from an initial white light output
`to a noticeably yellow light output, which is considered
`to be a negative factor from a consumer acceptance
`point of view.
`Lithium based batteries now under extensive devel—
`opment in the art do not exhibit a four or more to one
`ratio decline in output voltage over their useful service
`life because of voltage maintenance characteristics
`which are vastly superior to zinc carbon, zinc chloride
`and manganese alkaline batteries. In view thereof,
`it
`would be desirable to provide a development such that
`traditionally powered flashlights remain competitive
`with the newly developing lithium powered lighting
`products.
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`is a primary object of the present
`it
`Accordingly,
`invention to provide a power supply circuit operated
`from a battery power supply which provides a rela-
`tively constant power output to a load over substan-
`tially the entire useful service life of the battery despite
`the relatively poor voltage maintenance characteristics
`thereof during discharge.
`A further object of the subject invention is the provi-
`sion of a circuit of the aforementioned type designed to
`power a load in the form of an incandescent bulb for a
`flashlight such that the result is a relatively constant
`illumination output from the flashlight over the useful
`service life of the batteries employed therein.
`Yet another object of the present invention is a power
`supply circuit of the subject kind which operates almost
`entirely in a
`substantially nondissipative manner,

`thereby resulting in a power supply circuit having very
`little internal power loss.
`In accordance with the teachings herein, the present
`invention provides a circuit for generating a power
`pulse train for a load in the form of an incandescent bulb
`in a flashlight which results in a relatively constant
`illumination output from the flashlight despite the de~
`cline in output voltage from a battery power supply
`therefor during discharge. The power supply circuit
`basically operates to compensate for the lower output
`voltage from the battery power supply by increasing
`the duty cycle of the pulse train to provide wider pulse
`widths therein, and eventually the wider pulse widths
`merge into a DC power supply near the end of the
`useful service life of the battery power supply.
`The circuit includes a drive transistor having its emit-
`ter and collector coupled in series with the incandescent
`bulb and the battery power supply. A control circuit is
`coupled to the base of the drive transistor in a manner to
`cause it to generate a pulse train in which the duty cycle
`thereof is
`increased by providing pulses having a
`greater pulse width as the voltage from the battery
`power supply declines during discharge.
`In this ar—
`rangement the rated voltage of the incandescent lamp is
`preferably approximately half the rated voltage of the
`battery supply, which is normally an aqueous electro-
`lyte manganese dioxide battery. The drive transistor is
`selected to have a high beta characteristic and is driven
`in a nondissipative mode in which it is either in a fully
`conductive, saturated state or in a nonconductive state,
`such that power dissipation in the drive transistor in
`partially conductive modes is avoided.
`In a preferred embodiment, the control circuit com-
`prises first and second control transistors coupled to-
`gether in a complementary manner such that only one
`control transistor is conducting at a time. An output of
`the first control transistor is coupled to the base of the
`drive transistor to drive it in a saturated mode when the
`first control transistor is conducting. The second tran-
`sistor functions as an inhibit transistor having an output
`thereof coupled to the base of the first control transistor
`to render it nonconductive when the inhibit transistor is
`conducting. An RC timing network is coupled to the
`base of the inhibit transistor to control the frequency of
`the pulse train generated by the circuit. In greater de-
`tail, the drive transistor comprises an NPN transistor,
`and the first and second control transistors are PNP
`transistors coupled in a common emitter circuit. The
`common emitter connection is coupled directly to the
`anode of the battery while the collector of the first
`control transistor is coupled to the base of the drive
`transistor. At least one diode functions as a voltage
`threshold circuit, and is coupled between the collector
`of the drive transistor and the base of the inhibit transis-
`tor, such that when the voltage of the threshold circuit
`is exceeded, the inhibit transistor is turned on, which
`results in both the first control transistor and the drive
`transistor being rendered nonconductive.
`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
`
`The foregoing objects and advantages of the present
`invention for a circuit for a 00nstant illumination flash-
`light may be more readily understood by one skilled in
`the art with reference being had to the following de-
`tailed description of several preferred embodiments
`thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying
`drawings, in which:

`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
`DRAWINGS

`
`4t-
`quency of the pulse train should be higher than the
`retinal persistence of the human eye such that it appears
`to the user of the flashlight that the illumination there-
`from is constant. In general, the frequency of the gener-
`ated pulse train should be greater than 50 hertz, and 5
`kilohertz is a good practical frequency for a flashlight
`power supply circuit of this type. In the illustrated em-
`bodiment resistor 22 is rated at 1.8 kilo-ohms while
`
`capacitator 24 is rated at 5 microfarads and 3 volts.
`A voltage threshold circuit in the form of three di-
`odes 26 is coupled between the collector of drive tran-
`sistor 16 and the base of inhibit transistor 20, and func-
`tions in a manner to turn inhibit transistor 20 on when
`

`
`Referring to the drawings in detail, FIG. 1 is an elec-
`trical schematic of a first embodiment of a circuit de-
`signed to provide a substantially constant power output
`to a load in the form of an incandescent bulb 10, which
`in this embodiment is a commercially designated PR2
`bulb in standard usage in two D cell flashlights. A PR2
`bulb is normally rated at 2.38 volts and 500 millamps.
`The power supply therefor in this circuit is a 6 volt
`manganese dioxide battery 12, commercially designa‘
`tion 908, which is a typical commercially available lan-
`tern battery with spring contacts on top thereof. The
`battery 12 is connected in series with bulb 10 through an
`on—off switch 14 and the emitter and collector of an
`NPN drive or pass transistor 16, commercial designa-
`tion 92PU01. In an arrangement of this type, the lamp
`10 is selected to have approximately one half the rated
`voltage of the battery, primarily because operation is in
`a pulsed mode rather than a typical prior art DC mode.
`Transistor 16 is selected to have a high beta (/3) char-
`acteristic, and its base current required during conduc—
`tion is approximately 10% of its emitter to collector
`current, which in the operation of the disclosed circuit
`is less than 500 milliarnps. Accordingly, a base current
`of 50 milliamps or less is sufficient to cause fully satu-
`rated conduction of the transistor 16.
`The pulsed conduction of transistor 16 is controlled
`by a circuit including first and second control transis-
`tors 18 and 20 which are connected in a common emit~
`ter arrangement, with the common emitters being cou-
`pled directly to the positive terminal or anode of battery
`12. The control
`transistors 18 and 20 are connected
`together in a complementary manner such that only one
`transistor at a time is conducting. The first control tran-
`sistor 18 is coupled by its collector to the base of drive
`transistor 16 to turn the latter on in a fully saturated,
`conductive mode when control transistor 18 is conduct-
`ing. Transistor 18 is selected to supply an emitter cur-
`rent of 50 milliamps or less to the base ofdrive transistor
`16 to drive the latter in a fully saturated mode. The
`second control transistor 20 functions as an inhibit tran-
`sistor relative to the first control transistor 18, with the
`collector of inhibit transistor 20 being coupled to the
`base of the first control transistor 18 to render the latter
`nonconductive when inhibit transistor 20 is conducting.
`Commercially designated MPS37OZS PNP transistors
`are suitable for the first and second control transistors
`18 and 20.
`An RC timing network comprising resistor 22 and
`capacitor 24 is coupled to the base of inhibit transistor
`20, and their values control the frequency of the pulse
`train generated by the power supply circuit. The fre—

`
`the voltage at the drive transistor 16 exceeds the prede-
`termined threshold of the diodes 26. In this circuit each
`
`15
`
`diode 26 has a threshold of 0.8 volts, and accordingly
`the cumulative threshold voltage of the three diodes in
`series is 2.4 volts. In alternative embodiments, other
`types of threshold circuits could be utilized. For exam“
`ple, each diode could have a lesser or greater threshold
`voltage, and more or less diodes could be utilized, or in
`some circuits zener diodes may be suitable.
`The resistors 28, 30, 32 and 34 are selected to establish
`suitable biasing voltages throughout the circuit, and
`their values in this circuit are shown in parentheses in
`FIG. 1. A capacitor 36 has been added to the circuit as
`it results in improved performance thereof, but is not
`necessary for its operation. The constant power supply
`circuit of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 as
`being encompassed by dashed line 38, while the more
`conventional components of a flashlight are shown
`outside the dashed line 38. However, it should be real—
`ized that in a conventional flashlight, a PR2 bulb would
`not be utilized with a 908 battery as this type of bulb is
`not designed to accept the full DC power of a fully
`charged 908 battery.
`The circuit operates as follows. Closure of switch 14
`applies operational voltages to transistor 18 which re—
`sults in its conduction and the application of a conduc-
`tive voltage and current to the base of drive transistor
`16, which results in it being switched into a saturated
`conductive state, thereby applying almost the full volt-
`age of battery 12 (minus a small voltage drop of approx-
`imately é volt across transistor 16) across lamp 10 at the
`leading edge of a pulse in the pulse train. Transistor 16
`continues conducting until the voltage at its collector
`exceeds the threshold of 2.4 volts of the three series
`connected diodes 26, at which time an activating volt-
`age is applied through diodes 26 and resistor 28 to the
`base of inhibit transistor 20, thereby causing saturated
`conduction of transistor 20 and also charging of capaci—
`tor 24. Conduction of transistor 20 applies a reverse bias
`to the base of control transistor 18, thereby terminating
`its conduction and also terminating conduction of drive
`transistor 16 at the trailing edge of a pulse in the pulse
`train. Capacitor 24 discharges through resistor 22,
`thereby removing the forward bias voltage from its base
`and terminating conduction of inhibit
`transistor 20.
`Termination of conduction of inhibit transistor 20 al-
`lows control
`transistor 18 to conduct again,
`thereby
`driving transistor 18 into saturated condition at
`the
`leading edge of the next pulse in the pulse train, etc.
`The circuit'continues supplying a power pulse train
`to lamp 10 in this manner as the voltage supplied by
`battery 12 gradually declines because of its constant
`discharge. A decline in voltage of battery 12 results in a
`decrease in the amplitude of the voltage of each pulse
`(as that amplitude is slightly less than the voltage sup-

`plied by battery 12). However, a decline in voltage of

`battery 12 also results in a concurrent increase in the
`FIG. 3 is an electrical schematic of a second exem-
`time duration after initiation of the leading edge of a
`plary embodiment of a circuit for a constant illumina-
`pulse, for the collector of transistor 16 to reach the
`tion flashlight designed to produce slightly over twice
`threshold voltage across diodes 26, and hence a concur-
`the illumination output as the first embodiment from a
`rent increase of the pulse width of each pulse in the
`six volt
`lantern battery 44, commercial designation
`train. The increase in pulse Width increases the duty
`MN9080 or MN9180, which is approximately twice as
`cycle of the pulse train and compensates for the lower-
`large as the 908 battery of the first embodiment. This
`ing of the voltage amplitude ofthe pulse train, such that
`a substantially constant amount of power is supplied to lO circuit is designed to operate with a higher power lamp
`incandescent
`lamp 10 despite the gradual decline in
`46, commercial designation PRLZ, rated at 2.75 volts
`voltage supplied by battery 12 as it discharges. The
`and 950 milliamperes, because of the higher power
`pulse width of each pulse will gradually increase until

`the circuit. The increased current
`the battery voltage declines to a point (at substantially
`through the circuit also requires a higher power drive
`the end of its useful service life) at which the threshold 15
`transistor 48, commercial designation TIP29 or equiva-
`of diodes 26 is not exceeded, thereby resulting in contin-
`lent. The operation of this circuit is substantially the
`uous conduction of drive transistor 16. After reaching
`same as the operation of the first embodiment, and ac-
`this point, the circuit cannot compensate for a further
`cordingly will not be explained separately in detail
`decline in the output voltage of battery 12,
`thereby

`While several embodiments and variations of the
`present invention for a circuit for a constant illumina-
`tion flashlight are described in detail herein, it should be
`45 apparent that the disclosure and teachings of the present
`invention will suggest many alternative designs to those
`skilled in the art. For instance, the circuits could be
`easily modified to provide a flashing illumination out-

`50 What is claimed is:
`~ 1. A portable flashlight deSIgned to prov1de a rela-
`tively constant illumination output over the useful ser-
`vice life of the battery power supply therefor, despite a
`relatively poor battery maintenance characteristic dur-
`55 ing discharge, comprising an incandescent
`lamp for
`providing illumination, a circuit for providing relatively
`FIG. 2 illustrates two curves of illumination output of
`constant electrical power to the incandescent lamp over
`a flashlight bulb versus continuous hours of service. A
`substantially the entire useful life of at least one power
`first curve 40 shows the illumination output of a typical
`supply battery, having a relatively poor voltage mainte—
`prior art flashlight wherein a six volt zinc carbon lan-
`tern battery, commercial designation 908, is discharged 60 nance characteristic during discharge, said circuit in—
`directly through a suitable incandescent lamp, such as a
`eluding a drive transistor having the incandescent lamp
`908 commercial designation bulb. A second curve 42
`coupled in series with the emitter and collector of the
`illustrates the illumination output produced by bulb 10
`drive transistor and further coupled in series with said
`in the circuit of FIG. 1. As illustrated by these curves,
`battery power supply, said circuit further including a
`the constant illumination circuit produces about twice 65 control circuit including first and second control tran-
`the useful service hours as the prior art approach. Of
`sisters coupled in a complementary manner such that
`course, as also illustrated by the curves this increase in
`only one control transistor is conducting at a time, said
`useful service hours is achieved by sacrificing the initial
`first control transistor being coupled to the base of said

`drive transistor, to drive it into a saturated conductive
`mode when said first control transistor is conducting,
`and said second control transistor being an inhibit tran-
`sistor having a drive output thereof coupled to the base
`of said first control transistor to turn it off when said
`inhibit
`transistor is conducting, wherein said control
`circuit causes said drive transistor to generate a current
`pulse train in which the duty cycle thereof is increased,
`by providing current pulses having a greater pulse
`width to compensate for a lesser pulse amplitude, as the
`voltage from the power supply declines during its dis-
`charge to provide relatively constant electrical power
`to the incandescent lamp over substantially the entire
`useful life of the battery power supply, wherein said
`drive transistor has a relatively high beta characteristic
`and is driven by said control circuit in a non~dissipative
`
`8
`manner in substantially either a fully conductive state or
`a fully non~conductive state to produce the pulse train,
`whereby power dissipation in the drive transistor dur-
`ing partially conductive modes is substantially elimi-
`nated, and wherein an RC timing network is coupled to
`the base of said inhibit transistor for controlling the
`frequency of the pulse train generated by the circuit.
`2. A portable flashlight as in claim 1, wherein said
`drive transistor comprises an NPN transistor, and said
`first and second control transistors comprise PNP tran-
`sistors coupled in a common emitter circuit, coupled
`directly to the anode of said at least one battery, with
`the collector of said first control transistor coupled to
`the base of said drive transistor.
