Abstract: An indicator mechanism in a pushbutton tuner characterized in that there is provided a front plate horizontally extending from the top end of the tuner casing. The front plate is integrally formed with two-stepped protrusions, the lower one of which is inserted in a central bore of a slidable plate mounted on the front plate so that the slidable plate can pivot about the lower protrusion as an axis. The indicator mechanism further comprising a plate spring having an open rectangular configuration for seizing the front plate between its upper and lower plates. The plate spring is also formed with a through bore in its upper plate for receiving the upper protrusion of the front plate. The front plate is further formed with projections as high as the lower protrusion by which the upper plate of the plate spring is supported.

Abstract: Tuning apparatus including a scale provided with indicia corresponding to different broadcast frequencies to which the tuning apparatus is tunable and a pointer movable across the scale to indicate the particular broadcast frequency to which the tuning apparatus is tuned. The pointer is supported by a movable support which is guided by a guide shaft. A plurality of markers are slidably guided along at least one guide rail and are individually settable to desired locations adjacent the scale, thereby representing particular broadcast frequencies to which the tuning apparatus is tunable. A key removably mounted on the guide shaft is bi-directionally driven therealong by the movable support, the key being selectively operative to engage a desired one of the markers to move the engaged marker along the guide rail as the support is moved, whereby the marker is set to a desired position by reason of its engagement with the key.
