ABSTRACT:
A two circuit timer that has a primary circuit that controls a first external load, a secondary circuit that controls a second external load, a timer that controls deactivation of the primary circuit to reset the first external load and to open the secondary circuit to deactivate the second external load, and an actuator that activates the timer and closes the secondary circuit to activate the second external load. The two circuit timer functions as a video game controller and has a cycle that is initiated by the actuator. The actuator can be a momentary contact push button, a coin actuator or accepter, a start button on a hand controller, a key pad or a key on a computer keyboard. The actuator starts the timer and closes contacts in the secondary circuit to allow the second external load to be activated. At a preselected timed interval the timer momentarily opens the primary circuit to deactivate the first external load. As the primary load is deactivated the secondary circuit also opens to deactivated the second external load. The primary circuit is only deactivated momentarily. The first external load is reactivated momentarily. The primary circuit holds closed the first primary circuit to allow the first external load to be continuously activated until the timer is reset and the cycle reinitiated. The secondary circuit is held open to hold the second external load in a deactivated mode until the actuator means is activated and the cycle begins again.
