Abstract

1,186,645. Linear motion potentiometer. STACKPOLE CARBON CO. 25 June, 1968 [15 Aug., 1967], .No. 30130/68. Heading HIS. An elongated housing has a slot along one long face in which a slider, carrying a bridging contact, is constrained to travel when a knob, mounted thereon by means of a pin, is rotated so that gear teeth on the knob engage similar teeth on the housing, the bridging contact engaging resistive and collector strips inside the housing. As shown, two moulded plastics sections are secured by adhesive to form a housing 1 having in one face a slot 3 and a recess with gear -teeth 17 formed along one side. A metal collector strip 9 and resistance strip 10 are :bridged by a coil spring 8 mounted on post 7 depending from a slider 5 with a flange 6 bearing on the underside of the top of the casing. A knob 15, snapped on to a headed slit-pin projecting upwardly .from the slider 5, bears on the top of the casing-to locate the slider and has teeth 16 engaging the teeth 17. In another embodiment the slide is retained in its slot by flanges inside and outside the top of the casing. In a further embodiment the gear teeth on the knob engage teeth in a slot of a separate panel. Two potentiometers may be -mounted side by side in this way.
