Abstract

936,822. Variable resistors. VOGUE INSTRUMENT CORPORATION. Feb. 8, 1962 [July 18, 1961], No. 4982/62. Class 37. An infinite resolution potentiometer comprises a wire form 18 provided with a helical groove 20 in which is mounted a resistance wire 22. Coaxially of the wire form is mounted a lead screw 26 on which runs a follower 32 carrying a wiper assembly 30, the contact section 38a of which underlies the section of the wire to which it is making contact. The operating shaft 40 is connected to the follower by a cross head 50 carrying bars which engage in slots in the follower 32 and so transmit the drive from shaft 40 to the follower whilst allowing the follower to move along the lead screw 26, the wiper 30 may thus traverse the length of the resistance wire 22 with the same point of the contact section 38a always in contact with the wire. The pick-up from the wiper may be by the brushes 60 contacting the metallic cylinder 58 or alternatively, as shown in Fig. 6, brushes 160 may be insulatedly mounted on the cross-head 150 so that they wipe on an annular ring 158 mounted on the end of the wire form the brushes being connected to the wiper assembly 136 by flexible wire 167.
