Abstract
A child's lamp and sound source including a light and a tape deck, or the like, controlled by a timer mechanism mechanically actuating either a dimmer for the light or a potentiometer for varying the sound level of the tape deck. Electrical circuitry including solenoids for controlling the tape deck and light automatically also provides for manual control of the potentiometer and dimmer.
Claims3
An electromechanical control arrangement for regulating the sound and light levels of an audio device and a lamp including a timer mechanism in combination with a potentiometer and dimmer device, said potentiometer and dimmer device being mounted in operative association with coaxial shafts disposed therebetween whereby the potentiometer and dimmer device can be actuated separately, a potentiometer drive member and a drive member for the dimmer device slidingly mounted on said shafts, said timer mechanism having a driving member, a pair of solenoids adapted to move said drive members into operative engagement with said driving member, and an electrical circuitry having a source of current whereby the solenoids may be activated to connect the potentiometer and dimmer device with the timer mechanism or to disconnect one or both from the timer mechanism.
