Title: Improvements in and relating to selector switching devices
IPC: G04C23/30
Filed: 1950-01-11
Abstract: 701,035. Time switches: stencil switches. BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION, and BULLEN, R. H. Jan. 10, 1951 [Jan. 11, 1950], No. 770/50. Class 38(5) A selector switching device which may be used e.g. to produce a predetermined sequence of radio programmes selected from 25 different programmes comprises a drum carrying on its periphery at selected positions, selection-determining members 14 each having two operating members such as pegs 15 projecting from it at selected positions along its length, the drum being driven step by step, either at timed intervals or at will, to bring the members t4 in turn opposite contact-operating members in a casing 16 and the latter then being moved bodily towards the drum so that selected pairs of contacts. A1 ... A5, B1 ... B5 are closed by the particular pegs 15. The above movements are produced by a motor 33 set in operation by timed or other impulses delivered to a relay 35, Fig. 3. Each impulse completes the motor circuit at 34 and a retaining circuit for the relay at 36, the latter being eventually broken at 38 by a cam 37 driven by the motor, when the latter has performed its task of driving the drum one step, Fig. 5 (not shown), and moving the casing 16 towards the drum, Fig. 6 (not shown), to close a selected contact A and a selected contact B by the two pegs. Closure of a contact A will close the circuit from a battery 18 to a corresponding relay C1 ... C5 which will close five contacts in circuits leading to the contacts B1 ... B5 and the closure of a particular contact B will serve to connect the terminal 17 of the battery to a particular one of these five circuits. Thus the terminal 17 is connected to a selected one of twenty-five contacts on a selector 20. The relay C will also have closed a sixth contact causing the energization of a relay 21 which closes at 22 a circuit to a motor 23 driving the selector 20. so that the arm of the latter is driven round till the selected contact is reached whereupon a circuit is completed to a relay 25 which breaks the motor circuit at 24. Thus the selector 20 remains fast in its selected position and other contacts ganged to the moving contact of the selector are operated for any desired purpose. In a modification the selection determining members may be plates with apertures opposite all the contacts excepting the pair to be operated.
