Definitions
- ABSTRACT A device for coordinatedly controlling a plurality of variable resistors so as to achieve a desired combination of a plurality of variable resistors, said device comprising a first horizontal crosspiece having a lengthwise slot and a lateral plate perpendicular to the length of the crosspiece per se at each end thereof and second crosspiece having the similar slot and lateral plates the underside of which is partly on the same level as the underside of the first crosspiece when it is mounted on the second crosspiece, the two crosspieces being arranged crosswise and being moved relatively on a plane so that their movement moves a plurality of wipers so as to wipe the corresponding resistor elements.
- This invention relates to a device for coordinately controlling a plurality of variable resistors to create any desired combination of resistances. More particularly, this invention provides a small-sized device with simple compact structure having a single handle for coordinated control of a plurality of variable resistors.
- a typical device of the prior art comprises a control stick or lever supported by a ball-and-socket joint which allows the nutation (joystick movement) of the lever, and two U-shaped bridge-like supporters or bridge members having a lengthwise slot which are pivotably supported horizontally at right angles in a gyroscope-like fashion, whereby the lower end of the lever penetrates the slot of the two bridge members so that the two bridge-members swing as the lever nutates.
- the ends of each bridge member are provided with a wiper which respectively wipes the surface of a resistor element which is placed perpendicular to the rotation or swing axis of each bridge member when the bridge member swings. In some cases, those bridge members directly contact the variable resistors.
- the desired resistance is determined by the distance between the contact point of the wiper on the resistor element and the lead terminal of either end of the resistor element for four resistors in this case.
- the construction of the control device of this kind is complicated and therefore is inevitably bulky and costly.
- Another typical device of the prior art comprises a horizontally movable crosspiece having a lengthwise slot and another horizontally movable crosspiece having a lengthwise slot which is movable in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the first crosspiece, said two horizontal crosspieces being moved by means of a joystick the lower end of which is inserted in the slots of both crosspieces at the crossing thereof, and contact means provided at the end of each crosspiece which slide along a resistor element as represented by U. 5. Pat. No. 3,629,775.
- a device comprising a plate member horizontally movable in any direction and a plurality of wipers which move in accordance with the movement of the horizontally movable plate member in engagement therewith respectively maintaining contact with a resistor.
- This device can achieve wide varieties of combination of a plurality of resistances very easily and very smoothly.
- This device can provide more varied combinations of a plurality of resistances with less play than the devices of the prior art.
- a simple compact device for coordinatedly controlling a plurality of variable resistors which comprises: a first horizontal crosspiece which has a lengthwise slot and a lateral plate perpendicular to the length of the crosspiece per se at each end thereof and is movable in the direction of the width thereof; a second horizontal crosspiece which has a lengthwise slot and a lateral plate perpendicular to the length of the crosspiece per se at each end thereof, is shaped such that, when it is mounted on the first crosspiece, the underside thereof is partly on the same level as the underside of the lower one, and is movable in the direction of the width thereof; said two crosspieces being arranged crosswise with the second crosspiece upon the first; a shaft which penetrates the slots of the two movable horizontal crosspieces at the crossing thereof and drives the crosspieces simultaneously in pair or all at a time; and a plurality of wipers which move in accordance with the movement of the two horizontal crosspieces maintaining contact
- the stem or shaft may be a lever or joystick which is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at the middle thereof, the lower end penetrates the slots of the two crosspieces at the crossing thereof and the other end functions as a handle. Or it may be a short shaft provided with a knob on its upper end, which can be moved horizontally.
- a short cylindrical or annular member is placed in the slots of the crosspieces at the crossing or intersection thereof, the lower end of the joystick that forms a small ball is inserted in this short cylindrical member, so that the crosspieces can be moved smoothly by the joystick even when it deeply nutates.

- Each of the crosspieces has a lateral plate on each end thereof, which slides along a wall of the housing 3.
- a lateral plate of a size as large as possible is desirable as long as the plate does not restrict the movement of the crosspieces.
- the lateral plates ensure stabilized smooth movement of the crosspieces.
- a resistor element is provided in a circular form not true circle in this case as shown at 31 in FIG. 1..
- the arrangement of the resistor elements will be better understood by referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

- Each of the wiper consists of a finger and a finger carrier as shown in FIG. 6, in which (A) shows the finger carrier and (B) shows the finger.
- a finger has an axis hole and a slot (or a groove) 38, and a finger is fixed to the finger carrier by a suitable means.
- the crosspieces have a pair of protrusions respectively 34, 35 and 36, 37 on the underside thereof.
- the pair of protrusions are usually provided at positions symmetric with respect to the center of each crosspiece. But for a specific purpose, the protrusions may be positioned asymmetrically to the center of the crosspiece.
- the housing 3 bearing the joystick l, the crosspieces 4 and 5, a short cylindrical or annular member 6 and the base plate bearing wipers are assembled so that the each protrusion (34, 35, 36 or 37) of the crosspieces placed in the slot or groove 38 of each finger carrier (7, 8, 9 or 10), and the lower end of the joystick is inserted in the annular member 6 placed in the slots 32 and 33 of the crosspieces at the crossing thereof.

- the crosspiece 4 moves in the direction of line Y Y' in FIG. 3, and the crosspiece 5 in line X X.
- FIG. 4 shows the positions of the four wipers when the joystick takes its neutral position. If the joystick is nutated in the Y'-direction, the lower end 45 thereof moves in a vertical plane including the Y Y line drawing an are. But this movement is converted to a horizontal movement in the Y- direction of the crosspiece 4 through the annular member 6.
