  • Patent number: 4030052
    Abstract: A treadlebarless pushbutton tuner has a slug tuned coil housing assembly, a plurality of pushbutton assemblies each carrying a presettable memory cam means to recall a memorized broadcast frequency and a slide bar mounted horizontally in a tuner frame and slideable sideways for positioning the slugs within the coil housing corresponding to the memorized frequency of the cam carried by an actuated pushbutton. The slide bar has a plurality of V shaped notches aligned with the pushbutton assemblies, movement of a memory cam in the V groove causing the sideways movement of the slide bar which is translated to slug movement. Additional features include a horizontal crown gear in the manual tuning control means, means for declutching a clutch mechanism when recalling a memorized frequency and improved means for disabling the declutch mechanism when setting up a new frequency on any one of the pushbuttons. Also provided is a simplified means for locking and unlocking the memory cams.
