Abstract

1,104,239. Potentiometers. STACKPOLE CARBON CO. 5 Dec., 1966 [30 March, 1966], No. 54264/66. Heading H1S. In a linear potentiometer of the type having a resistance strip 10 (Fig. 3), against one side wall of the casing, and a metal collector strip 20, against the opposite side wall, bridged by a wiper attached to a slider, the wiper is in the form of a flexible metal wire coil 27 mounted on a post 28 projecting from the slider 25. This slider has an actuating knob that projects from the housing and slides in slot 2 in the front face of the housing in which it is locked by grooves 26 (Fig. 6). To allow the wire coil to be compressed by the two strips that it engages, to improve the electrical contact, the width of the post transverse the housing is much less than the inside diameter of the coil; in the direction lengthwise of the housing however, the width of the post is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the coil to avoid loose play as the slide is moved. The coil is retained on the post by head 29. The terminals are connected to the resistance strip by spring clips 11 and 15, the collector strip having a terminal 21. The housing, which may have openings 30 for cooling purposes, is formed of two moulded half-sections joined by an adhesive or held together by a spring clip (3, Fig. 4, not shown), snapped into a recess (4). Potentiometers of this kind can be ganged together and mounted on a perforated circuit-board (Figs. 11, 12, not shown), and stabilizers (56 in Fig. 15, not shown) can be fitted. To permit fine adjustment, the potentiometer may be provided with a slider (50, Fig. 10, not shown), having a threaded opening to receive an adjusting screw (51), mounted outside the casing, rotation of which causes the slider to move along in its slot.
