Abstract

500,111. Adjusting wireless apparatus. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. July 1, 1937, No. 18376. Convention date, July 1, 1936. [Class 37] [Also in Group XL] . The tuning element of a wireless receiver is actuated from the control spindle through gearing, the ratio of which is automatically altered by a voltage derived from the incoming signal when the receiver is approach. ing exact tune therewith. The tuning condenser 2 is driven from the tuning knob 4 through spindles 12, 11 separated by a friction clutch, 13, 14 and planetary gears comprising a sun wheel 10, planet wheel 1 and a freely mounted wheel 3. A normally inoperative auxiliary gear train comprises the wheel 6 frictionally coupled to pinion 5 on the control spindle and driving a pinion 7, also frictionally associated with the whoel 3. The gear ratio 10, 1, 3, is such as to give a rapid or coarse adjustment of tuning until the desired signal reaches a predetermined strength, e.g. about 250 cycles from the exact in-tune position, when a control voltage actuates an electromagnetic device 15 which engages the toothed periphery of clutch member 13 thereby arresting shaft 11 and the sun wheel 10. Continued rotation of knob 4 now drives the condenser 2 through the gear train 6, 7, 3, 1 the ratio of which may be ten times that of the other planetary system. The wheels 7 and 1 may both engage the inner surface of the wheel 3, Fig. 2 (not shown).
