An improved fine adjusting mechanism for a preset type tuner, which is so arranged that, with a ring having cam portions being fitted under pressure onto a fine adjusting shaft of a tuner for simultaneous rotation with it and also for slippage with respect to the fine adjusting shaft against a torque larger than a predetermined extent, a lever having a transmission gear rotatably mounted on it is urged by a spring force so that its actuating projections are held in pressure contact with the cam surface of the ring with the cam portions, so that rotation of the fine adjusting shaft is converted into a pivotal movement of the lever through the ring so as to positively engage the transmission gear with each of gears having threaded portions for an efficient local oscillation frequency adjustment.

Fine adjusting mechanism for preset type tuner

A VHF television tuner circuit is adapted for selecting a channel from a plurality of VHF television channels and a UHF/VHF converted television channel, by mechanical selection to form a resonant circuit having electrical characteristics corresponding to the selected channel. The tuner circuit is coupled to a VHF television signal terminal and a UHF/VHF converted television signal terminal. The tuner circuit comprises a channel selection means including a first switch and a second switch each comprising movable contacts fixedly positioned on a channel selection shaft and stationary contacts corresponding to the selectable channel positions and positioned in proximity to the movable contacts for coaction therewith. The first switch comprises a movable/stationary contact combination positioned in the vicinity of the VHF television signal terminal and responsive to selection of the UHF/VHF converted channel position for being grounded for electrostatically shielding the VHF television signal terminal. The second switch comprises a movable/stationary contact combination responsive to selection of the UHF/VHF converted channel position for connecting the UHF/VHF converted television signal terminal to the radio frequency amplifier.

The present invention relates to a rotary switch which is an improved stator provided with a plurality of projections extending outwardly from its edges to confront the corresponding surfaces of an improved chassis or the like to which the stator is to be secured. The improved chassis is formed, in positions corresponding to the positions of the projections of the stator, with openings or cutout portions each having a claw which can be deformed or bent. By bending the claws toward the projections after inserting the projections into the openings in the chassis, the projections of the stator are firmly held between the chassis and the claws and rigidly secure the stator to the chassis.
