  • Patent number: 5003620
    Abstract: Plural circuits for generating intermediate frequency signals such as UHF, VHF, HYPER intermediates frequency signals, etc. are provided in parallel. Each of the plural circuits includes an intermediate frequency amplifier, whose output impedance varies between high and low impedances dependent on whether or not the circuit operates. Thus, an intermediate frequency signal selected from the UHF, VHF, HYPER intermediate frequency signals is supplied from a circuit selected to be in operation from the plural circuits to an intermediate frequency signal output terminal.

  • Patent number: 4429291
    Abstract: The present television fine tuning is constructed so that an initial rotation establishes the fine tuning state and that a continued rotation of the fine tuning shaft performs the fine tuning. For this purpose the present tuner comprises a fine tuning driving member, a rotation transmitting idler member, a plate spring for supporting the idler member and a fine tuning adjustment element. The driving member includes a fine tuning shaft, a slide gear and a slip clutch concentrically mounted on the front of the chassis around a channel selector shaft supported by the chassis. The slip clutch has a plastic collar loosely mounted around the selector shaft, and a metallic sheet member located in a gap formed between the inner surface of the plastic collar and the outer surface of the selector shaft.
