Abstract:
One wall, such as the upper wall, of an elongated case of an adjustable electrical control device is provided with a slot extending lengthwise of the case. Disposed in the case lengthwise thereof is a pair of laterally spaced electrical elements engaged by electric contact means carried by a slide extending through the slot. A bar above the case extends lengthwise of it and is provided with longitudinally spaced recesses. The slide is moved along the case by an actuator connected to it, and either the slide or the actuator carries spring-pressed means normally projecting into one of the bar recesses, whereby the slide and actuator can be indexed along the bar.
Abstract:
An actuator is movable along the edges of parallel resistance and collector strips mounted in a case. The resistance strip is provided near each end with a transverse notch. Bridging contact means carried by the actuator engage both strips. Movably mounted in the actuator is an adjusting member that has an inner end connected with the contact means and that can be moved lengthwise to move the contact means forward and backward beside the strip notches to vary the distance from the point of engagement of the contact means with the resistance strip to the reduced areas of the resistance strip at the inner ends of the notches for fine adjustment of the resistor.
