Abstract:
An arrangement for ensuring contact between resistance paths comprises a base of electrically non-conductive and elastically deformable material such as rubber. To the base is applied an electrically conductive coating. The resistance path is pressed against this layer by means of a covering element, the base being subjected to preloading. In this way, the contact can be ensured between a potentiometer resistance with terminal connections and a plug, around which a short-circuit interval is provided.
Abstract:
A potentiometer device including a resistor path and a conductive film spaced therefrom. The film may be brought in contact with the resistor by exerting finger pressure. The tap voltage is stored in a memory and displayed by means of LEDs.
Abstract:
A variable resistor in the exposure control circuit of a camera is set to respond to two or more exposure-determining factors, such as film sensitivity, shutter speed, diaphragm value, distance to the object during flashing, etc. The resistor is composed of a plurality of conductive paths connected to terminals of a resistor and an armature in contact with the conductive paths and shifting from one conductive path to the next. The conductive paths are arranged so that movement in either one of the transverse directions produces a shift in contact between the conductive paths. Camera controls move the armature in the paths relative to each other. The armature and the paths are connected in th control circuit of the camera.
