Title: Improvements in automatic record changing mechanism for gramophones and the like
Filed: 1939-02-07
Abstract: 526,103. Magazine gramophones. DOWNS, A. R., and GARRARD ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING CO., Ltd. Feb. 7, 1939, No. 3945. [Class 40 (ii)] A stack of records is threaded over a stem 5 pivoted at 6 to a fixed post 1 extending upwards through the turntable spindle 3, and the stem 5 is normally in a slightly inclined position, in which the records are supported by the shoulder 7 formed by the top of the post 1, and a shoulder 8 on the stem lies flush with the post. The lowermost record is dropped on the turntable by a forward and backward rocking of the stem 5 about its pivot 6. When rocked forward the stem 5 is brought into line with the post 1 allowing the lowest record to fall off the shoulder 7 on to the shoulder 8; and when the stem rocks back to the position shown, the lowest record falls off the shoulder 8 and the next record becomes supported by the shoulder 7 in readiness for the next operation. This rocking movement is imparted to the stem 5 by a link 9 pivoted at 10 to a lever 11, which is pivoted at 12 and connected by a link 18 to a lever 17 pivoted at 19 with a lever 15 operated by a cam 13, the levers 15, 17 being coupled by a spring 16 to take up the gradual slight variations of throw of the lever 11 required to bring the stem 5 in line with the post 1 as the link 9 swings down following the dropping of the records one after another. The link 9 is pivoted at 26 to a bush 24 slidable on the end of the stem 5 and fitted with a plate 23 bearing on the uppermost record. This enables the link 9 to be swung up clear of the stem 5 to permit the threading of records on the stem. A toggle spring 20 holds the link 9 in and out of action. An extension 22 of the link 9 acts as an edge support for the lowermost record when the link 9 is swung up to the position shown in dotted lines. The spindle 1 is removable and prevented from rotating as described in Specification 450,966.

Title: Device for indicating the presence of records on the distributor column of record players with automatic loading
IPC: G11B17/22
Filed: 1966-01-28
Abstract: 1,139,031. Record player. STAAR S.A. 28 Jan., 1966 [8 Dec., 1965], No. 4050/66. Heading G5R. Record player of the type where a centre post 2 carries retractable supports 9 for supporting the record stack, the supports being retracted or extended by the movement of a control rod 8, which is normally urged upwards by a spring strip 36 in the absence of records but is moved a limited distance downwards by the record weight, can be actuated to change a record by operatively engaging the lower portion 26 of the control rod to move the rod further downwards to retract the supports only when the control rod is in its limited downward position. When the rod is not in this position, the actuating arrangements engage the switches for switching off the player. During a change operation the cam 11 rotates and the ball 14, running in an eccentric groove 13, is forced to the left. This rocks the arm 15 and this in turn forces the plate 28 to move downwards. This pulls down the rod 25 by the engagement of a slot 27 in the plate 28 with a recess 26 in the rod, so that the fingers 9 are retracted. When no record is present on the arm the spring 36 is not depressed. In this case when a change operation is commenced and the plate 28 moved downwards, the slot 27 fails to engage the recess 26 and the plate continues its downward and sideways movement. The pin 28 then engages the plate 40 and depresses it. This is connected to the driving mechanism of the apparatus and initiates switch off.
