ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a high voltage generating device utilizing a piezoelectric element. The device comprises an outer rotary member having a plurality of saw tooth-like cam lobes formed on its outer circumference equidistant from each other and an inner rotary member disposed in the outer rotary member. A cam follower for applying an impact to a piezoelectric element is biased toward the outer rotary member to cooperate with one of the cam lobes. The inner rotary member has a ball mounted therein and a spring for biasing the ball radially outwardly into operative engagement with an inner surface of the outer rotary member. The inner surface of the outer rotary member is so constructed and arranged as to permit free rotation of the inner rotary member unless the inner rotary member is depressed and turned in a predetermined direction. Under this condition the outer rotary member will rotate in the same rotational direction to cause the cam lobes to actuate the cam follower at several times, thus causing the piezoelectric element to produce a series of sparks.
