Abstract: A variable resistance control employs a contactor wipably engaging a resistance element and a collector supported by a pair of split housing sections. Positioning tabs extend from the resistance element and collector into undercut portions in the housing section. Control operating means for moving the contactor relative to the resistance element is positioned in a slot in the housing and provided with parallel longitudinal grooves receiving the side walls of the slot. A contactor having a pair of spaced bars has a continuous strip connecting the spaced bars and extending through an opening in the control operating means for engaging the resistance element. The contactor resiliently biases the control operating means against one side wall of a channel formed in the bottom wall of the housing. End walls of the housing are provided with a groove extending therearound such that a U-shaped mounting bracket having a pair of spaced legs and a connecting portion is disposed in each of the grooves. The legs have ends bent toward each other to firmly engage the housing and maintain the housing section in assembled relationships.

Abstract translation: 可变电阻控制采用可靠地接合电阻元件的接触器和由一对分离的壳体部分支撑的集电体。 定位翼片从电阻元件和收集器延伸到壳体部分中的底切部分。 用于使接触器相对于电阻元件移动的控制操作装置定位在壳体中的狭槽中并且设置有容纳槽的侧壁的平行的纵向凹槽。 具有一对间隔开的杆的接触器具有连接条带，连续的条形连接条并且延伸穿过控制操作装置中的开口，用于接合电阻元件。 接触器将控制操作装置弹性地偏压在形成在壳体的底壁中的通道的一个侧壁上。 壳体的端壁设置有沿其延伸的凹槽，使得具有一对隔开的腿和连接部分的U形安装支架设置在每个凹槽中。 腿部具有彼此弯曲的端部以牢固地接合壳体并且将壳体部分维持在组装的关系中。
