ABSTRACT:
A DC voltage converter includes an oscillator that converts a DC battery voltage to an oscillating voltage, a low voltage transformer that increases the oscillating voltage to a higher oscillating voltage, and a voltage rectifying-capacitor charging network that increases the higher oscillating voltage to yet a higher DC voltage at an output terminal for DC high voltage utilization devices and the like. An electric switch portion is selectively actuated by the user to apply the battery voltage to the oscillator, resulting in the generation of the stepped-up DC voltage at the output terminal. Utilization devices for the voltage developed by the converter shown are a miniature animal training device and a cattle prod device. The miniature animal training device has a pair of outwardly projecting electrodes mounted on a side at one end of the housing that is sized and shaped to fit within and conform to the palm of a hand. The batteries, converter and electric switch portion are contained in the housing whereby the device produces a stepped-up DC voltage at said output terminal upon the depression of one of the electrodes as both electrodes are pressed against an object to be electrically shocked. The cattle prod device has a pair of electrodes mounted on the end of a housing assembly made up of telescoping tubular housing sections with one housing section containing the batteries, converter and electric switch portion whereby the pressing of the electrodes against an object to be shocked causes a shock of the object. The housing assembly is releasably supported by a rigid handle or an extensible handle assembly.
