  • Patent number: 3990315
    Abstract: A detent type tuning mechanism for a UHF tuner having a continuously variable tuning shaft includes a detented selector shaft, a gear train interconnecting the tuner shaft and the selector shaft, and a memory type fine tuning mechanism including a rotatable turret having mounted thereon a plurality of cams each engageable by a fine tuning shaft when the selector shaft is positioned in predetermined ones of the detent positions. Each cam serves as a memory fine tuning system for a predetermined group of adjacent UHF channels. A cam follower interconnects one of the cams and the tuning shaft, and serves to rotate the tuning shaft in response to the rotation of one of the cams by the fine tuning shaft. An indicator dial provides a numerical display of the precise UHF channel selected at each position of the detented selector shaft.
