Abstract: A clutch interlocking mechanism for use in a pushbutton tuner wherein a drive gear provided on a clutch mechanism is meshed with a rack of a memory slide, a support bracket, on which the clutch mechanism is mounted, is supported, at one side thereof, by a frame on a chassis through a fulcrum pin and, at the opposite side thereof, provided with a tension spring to assure positive engagement of the drive gear with the rack. The clutch interlocking mechanism further comprises a resilient member provided for the fulcrum pin to eliminate looseness at the portion of the fulcrum pin.

Abstract: A pushbutton tuner formed of a base unit (A) including a memory slide and operating members for displacing the memory slide upon operation of a push button; a coil unit (B) including a movable member provided with cores displaceable relative to coils; a clutch unit (C) including a clutch mechanism and provided with a rotating shaft for manual tuning operation; and an arm unit (D) including a plurality of button slides fitted with push buttons, respectively, and slidably disposed on a top plate. These units are assembled separately from each other and, then, mounted on a baseplate of the base unit (A).

Abstract: A pushbutton tuner comprising button slides disposed within a plane in parallel with a baseplate and link members operable by setting pins provided on the respective button slides also disposed within a plane in parallel with the baseplate. A memory slide is displaced by rotation of a free end of each link member when the setting pin moves rearwardly. Each of the link members is so disposed that a line drawn between its portion where it is pivotally connected to the basetable and its portion where it is pivotally engaged with the memory slide is parallel with the rearward movement of the setting pin. The link members each have symmetrically convexed engaging edges at opposite sides thereof. In the position where the link members are disposed on the baseplate so as to be close each other, the setting pins are adapted to act on the adjacent engaging edges of the link members.

Abstract: A pushbutton tuner wherein a core slide for causing cores to move in-and-out of coils, respectively, has a rack formed at one end thereof and a fine tuning operating mechanism mounted on an auxiliary mechanism baseplate has a pinion meshable with the rack, which tuner is characterized in that the core slide has, at another end thereof, an extended portion formed with another rack symmetrical with the aforesaid rack so as to allow the fine tuning operating mechanism to be mounted on either end of the core slide.
