Description

device for setting and handling Scha.Itvorgangs, in particular for controlling the registers of organs and similar instruments The invention works from a device for setting and unwinding mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic or similar switching processes, especially for control purposes the registers of organs and similar instruments, with a variety of from a rest position in a working position and vice versa displaceable control bodies is provided, each of which is equipped with a number of control members, which are adjustable on the one hand by adjusting rails, on the other hand via the adjusting rails act on the switching means. The invention consists in that the adjusting rails only with the control elements of the respective control element in the working position engage and own drive both to adjust the control member as also have to operate the switching means, so that by moving the adjusting rails when switching, the position of the control elements of those in the working position Control body is scanned. Through the subjects of the subclaims, the Subject of the invention further developed in an advantageous manner.

The arrangement according to the invention enables all switching operations to record of the type mentioned in the order necessary for the desired sequence, in such a way that the various positions of the parts to be switched are recorded individually to be repeated later in their composition and order, for which the renewed actuation of a train should suffice, while the one to be expected Switching process is also announced in advance in a display device before it comes into force, there can also be changed at a later date and will be recognizable after its entry into force and should be repeatable.

Devices in which the sequence of switching operations in advance adjustable are known throughout the art. Such combination switchgear but mainly only have a one-sided effect, z. B. from a combination switch = 'work on the organs to be switched.

Devices in which, in addition to this one-sided effect, there is also a Retroactive effect of the organs to be switched on the combination switchgear takes place, by changing the way in which the combination switchgear works from a previous one Transfer of the setting status of the organs to be switched to the combination switchgear is made dependent are now only known in organ building.

These devices serve. to facilitate registration with Organ playing. The fundamentals on which these devices are based, however, leave it behind not to use them as and to the extent that the constantly increasing number of registers does and the extensive layout of the organ works to achieve real ease of registration makes it necessary, so that the situation at the gaming table becomes more and more complicated and difficult and the tonal possibilities of the organ are often only partially usable.

Also the new branch of musical instruments with sound generation on electric The basis requires a large number of partly very complex adjustment organs at the gaming facility that can no longer be managed by the player alone. The practical use of some electrical instruments often depends on whether the process of re-icing processes can be mechanized and simplified to that extent allows artistic results to be achieved at all.

With the invention, even the most difficult registration tasks can be carried out simplify it in such a way that its execution is no longer a burden for the player; it also allows the use of registration aids with electrical ones Musical instruments, which this area, which is only at the beginning of development not yet known.

The usual registration devices are based without exception on the principle that prepared register compilations, called combinations, through special introductory moves at the gaming table at the given moment to the effect with each individual combination having its own introductory train. For 5o combinations, 5o introductory moves are necessary.

The arrangement according to the invention makes it possible that a plurality of combinations can all be achieved by one and the same introductory move can by selecting the desired combination using a selector, and the process fixing or playing back a registration is determined by special switches is, but automatically by repeated actuation of the common introduction cable the next combination is fetched in endless succession.

The device according to the invention can be used in conjunction with Devices are applied and then gives the advantage that the player his Registrations can be continuously adjusted or repeated without worrying about the choice having to worry about certain introductory moves.

The known systems for storing register compilations in a mechanism go over io total combinations or correspondingly more subdivided ones Combinations in general do not add up.

However, in order to simplify the registration as much as possible, it is necessary to record not just some, but all of the register compilations that occur in individual combinations, so that every change in the registration corresponds to a combination. If you want to register the entire program of an organ concert in this way, you need a few hundred combinations because, as experience shows, larger organ compositions require up to 50 or more changes to the registration.

The usual systems can now practically not be overridden-certain, Add to each system its own limited number of combinations and registers.

The well-known purely electrical system of fixable combinations sees for each register for each combination there is an electromagnet, the armature of which is mechanical held in the working position to fix a register in the "On" position will. For, for example, ioo registers at the gaming table and total zoo combinations According to this system, there would be no fewer than 20,000 magnets with as many contacts and a corresponding number of contact collectors for connection, etc. necessary. This Tremendous expense would result in excessively high costs, extensive apparatus and uncertainty through the many contact points.

The known free combinations represent a multiplication of the Hand registry with special introductory moves; these combinations must can be set by hand. You can also find them at most gaming tables Auxiliary trains, which add and subtract register groups, depending on their layout always effective, or only under certain conditions and on part of the recording means. With this arrangement, the setting of the combinations is time-consuming and the risk of confusion great; in addition, the player never has an overview of which registers are now actually work and which ones don't. The fixable combinations give a better overview, but their setting status is not recognizable. The settings can no longer be changed during the game, as can no registration changes are prepared during the game, what but the players put a lot of emphasis on it.

In both systems it is common to subdivide the combinations, to make better use of them, which necessitates many special introductory moves and: the overview is made even more difficult. Step sills always work independently, without turning on the drawn registers visible in the registry.

There are also display devices known which each in the organ switched on. Report register; however, these devices do not indicate which way the registry is on.

The arrangement according to the invention makes it possible through a circuit at the gaming table in a single registry, always and without restriction, the in to make the organ's effective registration recognizable, with that of the register sill registers drawn alone are specially marked as such, e.g. B. by Half position of the stop.

The well-known self-adjusting register keys need to change over from one position to the other either two magnetic coils or one magnetic coil an intricate changeover mechanism. For connection with the fixable combinations 4 or 5 lines are required (per register).

In contrast, the. arrangement according to the invention the possibility created, with a single magnetic coil, as is common in organ building, with one contact and a single connection line not only the same effects to achieve, but also to differentiate them. With the help of a second line and an auxiliary magnet of the simplest type is the message of the crank arm connection by half-setting the register key as well as the possibility of remote setting of the Sill achieved. Since the register button does not have a snap, so the effort required for the changeover is less than with the known designs.

The arrangement according to the invention can be used with all known gaming table systems can be combined, making it possible in a registry always and without Restriction of the state of the organ stops by marking those of the stop sill to report drawn.

In the known systems, should a fixed combination be based on their Setting status. Be checked, this is only possible by allows the fixed combination to act on the hand registry, making it natural the last setting of the hand register is destroyed. That means that the During his presentation, the player never has any control over whether the setting the combination that he wants to switch on next really matches his wishes is equivalent to.

A pre-registration can therefore be provided in addition to the manual registration which is also based on the circuit principle mentioned, but itself has no direct effect on the organ stops.

In the pre-registration the player can use any combination on their Check the condition without having to use the hand registers, d. H. even during the Any registry can be maintained during the examination.

This pre-registration has an effect in connection with automatically successive Registrations are particularly advantageous: the next registration to be expected will. pre-registered in the pre-registration; in the setting of the pre-registration the player can still intervene manually before transferring them has an effect on the manual registration: The status of the pre-registration is transferred regardless of the original setting. This means that the player always knows which Registration by actuating the lead-in train next in the hand register appears and can be changed manually before it comes into effect make.

The pre-registration can be done with other known systems under preservation all advantages can be combined.

As mentioned, the player can use the known fixable combinations do not prepare changes during the game.

In contrast, the arrangement according to the invention enables the preregistration can also be used independently to prepare and transfer registrations. to For this purpose, the register key of the pre-registration in brought a neutral center position; on this the player places -only those Register that should be added to or removed from the existing registration. The set change is transferred accordingly by pressing the lead-in pull on the manual registration, whereupon the neutral middle position in the pre-registration is again adjusts for renewed use. The advantage of this arrangement is that the player only has to set those registers that are to be changed and the same Can use the (pre) registry over and over again; this is the case with large ones Organs play an important role.

This extension of the preregistration can also be used with other known Systems can be combined while maintaining all advantages.

Use the known solutions for adjustable cillings without exception special adjustment devices on the gaming table.

With a remotely adjustable register threshold of one anyway necessary registry can be adjusted, in such a way that each Step of the register sill can be set individually in their composition can, but the attitude from the momentary level to all that still follow also contributes, the setting and change is particularly simplified.

When using the preregistration mentioned, this can be used for the Register threshold setting are also used; the process starts from the neutral Middle position as the described preparation of registry changes.

This remotely adjustable step sill can be used with all known Registration devices are combined, with all the advantages mentioned retained will.

The selection of the combinations is done by a voter via a Introductory train. A step switch can serve as a selector.

For the requirements of the practice, for example, zoo combinations are sufficient a tap changer no longer; the setting is too cumbersome, too, should the many lines are avoided.

By using a voter consisting of a number field, whose number wheels are freely movable in both directions and also automatically can be moved to the next level (next single number) is the desired combination adjustable.

To avoid the many lines, the invention provides an economy circuit with the help of which only 21 lines are required for zoo combinations, for example are.

Many have musical instruments that generate sound electronically Adjusting devices; in addition to the counters taken over from organ building, also continuously changeable scales.

If such a scale is to be used as a register, the Scale can be subdivided into the necessary number of individual levels, and these as individual registers to be viewed as. Given the large number of registers that are in the registry memory can be accommodated also plays a very narrow subdivision with many Levels do not matter.

In addition, the activation of an electroacoustic register be made dependent on a certain further contact, for example a play button, must be closed. In this case, each key contact is considered Insert registers into the overall system.

From what has been said it follows that the details of the invention with Known combined already produce new effects, but that through the connection of all the details of a unit, the aim of the invention is achieved.

In the drawing, the subject of the invention is for example with electrical connection means illustrated.

The structure of a registration memory (memory for short) according to mechanical The principle is based on the following fundamental consideration.

The status of the stops in the "On" or "Off" position should be held by adjusting any parts in the same sense: vice versa the set parts should have a registering effect at the given moment.

Accordingly, for example, on a switch body such. B. a rail, as many elements (adjustable parts) attached as there are registers. Each element can assume two positions. Each rail with its elements represents a possibility of storing any registration and thus as a Combination. Now, as many combinations of the same quality are to be provided that are desired as storage options. In the manner of a coordinate system is for example every vertical row of elements of a combination, each horizontal row of elements is assigned to a register; also correspond the elements that are in one position are switched off, the elements, which are in the other position, activated registers. Any combination must be movable from its rest position into the working position to either its elements cease in terms of game table registration or the cessation of its elements transfer to the gaming table registration; this happens with electrical transmission through individual magnets and contacts.

But now it is precisely the multiplication that counts this Avoid lanyards. This can be done by having the elements through common members are set and in turn act on common members. So each element would have to be a common one when commissioning, the combination Can move the contact rail. Is it a memory with high register and combination numbers, this is inexpedient because the forces that move of the contact bars are necessary add up, so that the driving force of each combination bar Would have to be so big to move all contact rails and contacts at the same time to be able to close. The situation is similar with the common attitude of the elements. Here, too, the driving force would have to be so great to make the adjustment to be able to effect all elements of a combination rail.

The known mechanical combination memory use without exception the direct power transmission in one work step, be it, that is, by moving, more together Limbs the elements are adjusted, or be it that the movement of the elements acts back on common links. With regard to the addition described of the forces come. These storage systems only come for a small number of combinations in question, -which in turn also depends on the number of registers for which the combinations should act, is influenced in an unfavorable manner.

In the case of the arrangement according to the invention, both serve for closing the contacts as well as organs (rails) common to adjust the elements, which are equipped with their own drive. The uprights come with a Combination rail only interacts when it is already in the working position is located; the interaction is that the adjusting rails by their own Movement on the elements of the selected combination rail either adjusting act or be hindered in their own movement by the elements. Each of these processes takes place in two operations. In the first case the adjustment rails are influenced and transferred by the gaming table registration these on the elements (fixing a registration), in the second case the Adjusting the setting of the elements and transferring them, nasty on the gaming table registration (Playback of a registration).

It is possible to use the same rails for both processes to use.

The driving force of each combination rail only needs to be so great be to bring it into the working position and hold it there until the operation is terminated. The driving force of the adjusting rails must besides - the movement of the rail even only take over the adjustment of a single element. Using a common drive for all control rails is possible. Have the upright rails one independent of the position of the elements and the register connection means neutral rest position. You leave this rest position when a process is running all inevitably and give momentary contacts (for transmission), or influence all elements of a combination (for setting), so that in the latter case also those elements which are not rearranged in their position anew be attached, which prevents any accidental adjustment of an element is.

The sequence of movement of the combination rail and standing rails can be achieved so quickly without difficulty that the existing delay is meaningless will.

Figs. I to 7 show how a memory is constructed according to the considerations mentioned. Embodiment A (Fig. I and each combination rail consists of a displaceable axis i (generally in the rest position, ib in the working position), on which elements 2 (a, a and ab) are rotatably mounted with spacer rings 3 in between. D. Are stops, 5 and 6 are toothed adjusting rails, the adjusting rails 5 taking over the function of setting and the adjusting rails 6 taking over the function of scanning. the adjusting rails 5 can be brought from the rest position o into the working positions "on" and "off". The adjusting rails 6 can be brought from the rest position o into the working positions "On" and "Off" (Fig. I). The combination rails i can be brought from the rest position (like ia) into the working position (like ib). In the rest position, the elements are between the pairs of rails 5 and 6 (Fig. A). In the working position, the elements 2 lie in the same plane as the rails 5 and 6, whereby elements and rails can interact. The mode of operation is as follows: Adjustment: A certain combination rail is brought into the working position ib (Fig. Z). The adjusting rails 5 (Fig. I) move in the sense of the gaming table registration after the position "On" or "Off" and adjust the elements accordingly with their teeth, whereupon the adjusting rails and the combination rails return to the rest position. The next combination rail is then brought into the working position and the process is repeated.

Scanning: One of the combination rails goes into the working position ib (Fig. B. 2). All the adjusting rails 6 are moved into the working position. Those . Adjusting rails that hit an element in the "On" position (2a, Fig. I) are prevented from moving further due to their toothing, while the rest of them can reach the "Off" end position and actuate a contact, whereby the scanned setting of the Elements, as explained in more detail later, is transferred to the gaming table registration.

In the embodiment A, the adjusting rails 5 and 6 were depending on designed differently in terms of their function. But it is also possible to use the standing rails to be formed similarly, so that for each continuous row of elements one Belongs to a pair of rails, which takes on both functions.

Embodiment B (: @ bb.3 and 4) Each combination rail 7 (7a and 7b) consists of a simple rail on which elements 8 (8a and 8b) are rotatably attached. The elements mutually form a nsclilag., Each pair of adjusting rails consists of two rails of the same type 9 and 10, which can be rotated about axis ii. The positions are secured by friction. The combination rails can be moved from the rest position 7 a into the working position 7 b. The adjusting rails can be moved from the rest position 9 d and ioa (Fig. I) into the working position 9 b and io b, the rails 9 representing the function "off" and the rails io representing the function: "on".

The mode of operation is as follows: Adjustment (Fig. D.): All the adjusting rails 9 and io go from the rest position (drawn in full lines) into the working position (indicated by dashed lines). Then one of the combination rails 7 (a) goes into the working position 7 b and thus element 8 from the position shown in full lines into the position indicated by dashed lines. Influenced in the sense of the gaming table registration, one rail (e.g. 9 "Off") moves back from the working position to the rest position (arrow direction) of each adjusting rail pair 9 and io, whereby the elements in the same sense (arrow direction) from the dashed line Position To be brought into the position shown in dash-dotted lines or by rail io in the opposite direction. Then the combination rail 7, then the adjusting rails 9 and io return to the rest position.

Alltasten (Fig.4): One of the combination rails; goes from the rest position 7 a to the working position 7 b (as above). Attempts are then made to bring all of the adjusting rails 9 and io from the rest position to the working position (dashed lines). Of each pair of adjusting rails, however, only one can get into the working position, e.g. B. when the element is in the dashed position, rail io can move from the rest position to the working position, while rail 9 is held in the rest position. The adjusting rails make contacts in the working position. The position of the elements cannot be changed by the process: All rails return to the rest position.

The process of setting or scanning is reversed in the -B case the sequence of movements of the individual organs achieved.

Embodiment C (Figures 5 and 6) each combination rail 12 has holes in which elements in the form of simple pins 13 can slide back and forth with friction. The actuators 14 and 15 are toothed and attached to both sides of the combination rails. The functions "on" and "off" of the standing rails and the position of the elements correspond to the same as in example B. Each pair of adjusting rails is connected to a lever 16 which is rotatably mounted and is coupled to the drive force at its center by the pull rod 17. For the adjustment process, a registration rail 18 is still required for each pair of adjustment rails, which is adjusted according to the gaming table registry, as described in more detail later, and depending on its position "on" or "off" with its nose ij one of the two adjustment rails 14 and 15 can prevent "setting" in their movement by means of their stops 14a and 15a. The adjusting rails can be brought from the rest position, as shown, into the working positions »setting« or »scanning«. The adjustment is made by moving the relevant adjusting rails by the amount of one tooth pitch in the direction of arrow 1. When scanning, the tie rods 17 are moved by about 1/2 tooth pitch in the direction of arrow 1I. Each combination rail 12 can be brought from its rest position 12 a into the working position 12 b (Fig. 6). In the rest position, the elements 13 are located between the adjusting rails 14 and 15; Only in the working position of the combination rails i2 can an interaction between elements and standing rails take place. Of the combination rails i2 (Fig. 5) the strongly drawn one is to be regarded as being in the working position. It is therefore only possible for elements 13 of a combination rail i2 to interact with the pairs of adjusting rails.

The mode of operation is as follows: Setting: A combination rail goes from the rest position 12a to the working position 12b (Fig. 6). The rails are moved by 17 in the direction of »setting«. Hold the registration rails i9 in accordance with the gaming table registration, one for each pair of adjusting rails 14, 15 Rail back in the rest position, which means, for example, the through the rod 17 caused movement of the lever 16 inevitably transfers to the rail 14 when the rail 15 is held up by the associated registration rail i8; the free Adjusting rail 14 adjusts the element 137t by its movement in the dashed line indicated location. Then all rails return to the rest position.

Scanning: A combination rail goes out of the rest position i22 in the working position 12 b. The adjusting rails 14, 15 are supported by the rod 17 moved in the direction of "scanning". An element, for example 13 u., Of the drawn However, the combination rail holds one of the rails, namely the rail 15, of the pair of adjusting rails by stopping a tooth in the rest position back, whereby the movement of the Driving force 17 inevitably transmits to the free rail 14 via the lever 16; the adjusting rails close a contact in the "scanning" end position, in this one In the case of rail 14. All rails then return to the rest position.

The process of setting and scanning is thus carried out in case C Reversal of the direction of movement of the adjusting rails achieved. Embodiment D (Fig.7) In order to accommodate as many combinations as possible in the smallest possible space, it is desirable, especially the subdivision of the combination rails, which corresponds to the number of combinations, to be kept as small as possible. This subdivision in example C, depends on the path of the adjusting rails in the direction of »setting«; the length of this path determines the subdivision and thus the dimensions of the whole Storage in one dimension. The way in the direction of "scanning", on the other hand, does not play any- Role. The smallest dimension of the subdivision can be achieved if the adjusting rails carry out their movement in the same direction as the elements themselves, that is at right angles to the movement of the adjustment rails in example C. For this case, be the adjustment rails (Fig. 7) divided into movement rails toi, 211 and function rails 2.01I, --iII, which are mutually interlocked at 22. The functional rails 2011, 2111 'have further teeth 23 for adjusting and scanning the elements. The possibilities of movement of the rails 2o1 and 211 are provided by stops (in part shown) so limited that the rails only the movements indicated by arrows can perform from the drawn rest position. The combination rails 24 with their elements 25 as well as the drive of the movement rails and their selection the setting correspond to the description in example C.

The mode of operation is as follows: Adjustment (Fig.7): A combination rail 24 with its elements 25 goes into the working position, as in example C strongly marked Rail. A next corresponding selection is made from the movement rails toi and 21i moved by the registration rail 26 in the "setting" direction; the movement transmits due to the teeth 22 on the functional rails, which are in their direction Move »Adjust«, which is rotated by 90 ° in relation to the movement rail I, whereby the element 25 in question is switched to the other position. Sweep on this all rails back in rest position.

Scan. A combination rail 24 goes into working position (strong drawn). The movement rails toi or 2i1 and, as a result of the interlocking, also the functional rails 2011 and 2111 are attempted to move in the direction of "scanning"; depending on the position of the element 25 is one of the rails II and due to the toothing the movement of the corresponding rail I is also inhibited. The free rail can get into the »scanning« working position and (as in example C) make a contact conclude. Then all rails return to the rest position.

In order to reduce the division of the memory even further, you can in example C and D, several combinations are accommodated on a combination rail will. In Fig. 8 the combination rail 27 has two combinations (combination X = elements 28, combination Y = elements 29), and accordingly two working positions I oller II, whereby either one or the other combination for interaction is brought up with the adjusting rails'3o. According to this principle, more can also be achieved .as there is space for two combinations on one rail.

All rails can be driven by individual forces per rail or by a common force. Two combinations on one rail according to Fig. 8 reduce the individual drive forces for the combination rails by half. The embodiments C and D are by their nature particularly suitable for a common drive of the adjusting rails. The tie rods 17 in Fig. 5 and 6 are connected with the common force. This results in a significant simplification of the memory.

The principle of storage according to embodiment D is suitable for use as a cuff with remote adjustment.

Embodiment (Fig. 9 and io) The individual combination rails 31 with their elements 32 are connected to a rigid system, so that not the individual rails are moved from the rest to the working position, but that the whole system is indicated in the drawing Can perform movement; As usual, it is driven by a roller or a step on the gaming table. The movement of the entire system causes the individual combinations to pass a row of pick-up contacts 34 which switch the registers and so on. The contacts are arranged in such a way that they are actuated by the elements protruding towards the "on" side of the system, while on the other hand they do not hinder the operation of the operating rails mentioned below. In order to achieve an uninterrupted transition from step to step, the contacts 3.I are designed in such a way that they are actuated simultaneously by two neighboring elements in the "On" position. The step of the register sill is marked by the position of the movable system in relation to the contact friction. Adjusting rails 33a ("on") and 33b ("off") are used for remote adjustment, which bring the elements into one or the other position, depending on whether the "leg" or "off" rail from the gaming table register influences their movement executes in the direction of the arrow. The standing rails end at the level of the contacts, so that the setting and scanning levels are identical. The effect of the adjustment rails extends not only to the elements that are to be regarded as the current level, but also to all subsequent levels. If the step sill is in the zero position, the elements of all levels are influenced by the adjustment rails; If the step sill is in the end position, only the last step can be influenced. A register can thus be introduced for a certain number of levels and then also switched off again, for which only two setting processes are necessary. By moving the register rocker from the zero to the end position, the contacts are brought step by step to the contacts, but at the same time step by step the engagement of the control rails is withdrawn.

In Fig. 9, the cuff is on the fourth level. The adjusting rail 33a "On" has set the elements of the 4th to 15th level to "On". In Fig. Io the first two rails are omitted for clarity.

The adjustment rails are expediently influenced by one anyway registry available at the gaming table; This allows your own setting organs on Gaming table can be avoided.

To get at the gaming table with just one introductory move for all combinations get along in endless succession by repeated actuation of this introductory pull should be attainable, a voter is to be provided, both by hand on each Combination is freely adjustable, as well as automatically to the next combination advances. A repetition should be possible via another introductory move be, d. H. the combination that was the last to be switched on and that precedes the one marked as ready in the voter by one step - just be able to be called back without adjusting the voter himself. Embodiment for combination selector (Fig. ii) The selector basically consists of a multiple switch 35, to whose contacts 36 the drive magnets of the combination rails are connected are; In addition to the main contact arm 37, a second contact arm 38 is also provided, which runs offset by one step from the first to achieve the mentioned Repetition. The pair of contact arms 37, 38 can be manually operated by means of a scale 39 o. Like. Be set on each contact, while a push pawl: I0 in each case can switch to the next level; this switching takes place with each actuation of the main lead-in train with the current path passing through the main contact arm 37. When the repetition (introductory) train is actuated, the switching does not take place; the current path runs through the retry contact arm 38. The memory is located elsewhere than in the gaming table, the voter is expediently in the vicinity of the Memory relocated and remotely controlled, the position of the main contact arm being through a remote pointer is identified. This makes the operation more convenient, too lines are saved.

In the case of high numbers of combinations, however, even simpler ones are required in practice Solution of the setting. Embodiment selector for 100 combinations (Fig. R2).

The drive magnets of the combination rails 41 are numbered consecutively (oo to ... i9 ... 99); All winding starts with the same number of units are connected to one another and led to the ten contacts of a one-step switch 42. All winding ends with the same number of tens are individually led to ten contacts of ten remote switches 43. The remote switches are in turn controlled by the contacts of a ten-position switch 44; the contact bridges 45 of each remote switch connect .die ten lines of each group of ten with each other and connect them to the power source (minus in the drawing). To achieve the repetition, the step switches 42, and 44 have, in addition to the main contact arm 46, 47, a repeat contact arm 48, 49, which, as described in Fig. In order to carry out the repetition correctly, the ten-position switch 44 may only be switched to the repeat contact arm 49 when the one-position switch 46 is set to oo; by means of contact 5 i, which is caused by the zero position of the one-contact. arms 46 is controlled, the ten-position switch is switched to contact arm 49. A magnetic coil 4 1 is switched on via contact 5 1 a ..

i. Both step switches can be moved freely in any direction by hand can be set independently of each other to each level.

2. A pawl acts to automatically advance by one step on the step switch in the usual way for counters.

The mode of operation results from the current flow. Example: Magnet coil 1 5 is to be inserted. The tens main contact arm 47 is on io, the main contact arm of the ones 46 is on 5. The changeover contacts 5oz, 5oE and 51 are in their rest position, as shown. The following circuits are thus closed or prepared: i. +, 5i, 5oz, 47, io contact, remote switch magnet43, io. The remote switch43, 1o closes the ten contacts of the group of ten to the - pole. 2. The following current path of the power source is then possible through contact closure of 51 a: -f --Pol, 5 I, u, 5 0E, 46, contact 5, solenoid 15, -Pol.

To achieve the repetition, contacts 5o- 'and 5oz are flipped over; 5oz has no effect because switch 51 is in the rest position. On the ten side the same current path is closed as in the previous case, i.e. by the remote switches 43 the one of the group of ten excited. On the one hand, by switching from 5oE the current path is placed on contact 4 via the repeat contact arm 48 and the solenoid 14, ie the preceding one, switched on.

If there are more than 100 solenoid coils, a hundred-step switch is used added to the same principle. In a memory according to embodiment C or D, which combines two combinations on a combination rail (Fig. 8), the connection of a movement limiter is sufficient for zoo combinations, for example. .which acts together for all combination rails, through a hundred switch o-i. The connection of the 100 magnetic coils 41 can then be carried out as described will.

In order to make the registration expressed in the organ always and unrestrictedly identical to the state of the console register, which can be adjusted both manually and automatically, with the least possible expenditure of resources, the invention uses the following circuit arrangement. Control circuit principle circuit (Fig. I3) The circuit is controlled by a relay 52d, consisting of a winding 52 m, a contact 52 k and a resistor 52 w. Such a relay is assigned to each register. A line 53 is connected to each winding 52-13b and can be connected to the '-, - or - pole of the power source through contacts 54a and 54e. If relay 52a, 52c is connected to the pole through one of the contacts 54e, the winding 52 iza is excited and continues to be attracted via its contact 52k, even if contact 54e is interrupted again. Via contact 52k, further magnet coils 55 a, 55 b and 55 c connected to the line 53 also receive current. The line 53 is connected to the + pole through contact 54a, as a result of which the winding 52m is short-circuited. The winding 52n2 and the other connected magnet coils 55 are thereby de-energized. A resistor 52w prevents the short-circuit of the power source. Momentary contact is sufficient for actuation. With permanent connection of the line 53 to the ---- pole through contact 56k via a resistor 56 zi, it can be achieved by appropriate dimensioning of the resistor and the windings that the. Winding 52 does not respond well, but magnets 55a do. and 55b are excited, while the magnet 55c indicates the lower voltage due to lower armature movement or the like. Contact 52k thus determines the state of the entire SSstems as "On" or "Off" by its position, regardless of whether the armature 52a of the relay is controlled by electromagnetic or mechanical action. This circuit principle allows all movement transmissions occurring in organ building to be carried out in a much simpler way than the known solutions.

Embodiment relay 52a. 52111.: as register switch (Fig. 13) The information is provided for a register. 55 a is the organ register magnet coil, 55 b is the magnet coil for influencing the adjustment rails (e.g. 18, Fig. 5) of a registration memory in the sense of gaming table registration, 5 c is an indicating magnet coil or signal lamp, and 54e1 and 54a1 are the contacts the gaming table registry; the contacts 54e2 and 54a2 are used to connect prepared registrations, for example through a registration memory (via the adjustment rails, e.g. 14, 15) or other registration means. 56k is the (permanent) contact of the register swell, whose current short-circuit excites the solenoid coil or signal lamp 55c less than the current through 54e, which indicates "register pulled through register swell", while magnets 55a and 55b do not respond particularly to these voltage fluctuations react, also not relay 52a., 5211a, which remains in the rest position. As described above, the relay works through momentary contacts and in this case represents an independent register switch.

Embodiment relay 52a, 52m coupled with control rails (Fig. 14) The register switch 52 a, 52 y11 can take the place of the 1-position coil 55 b (Fig. 13), which is thus superfluous. When using a memory according to embodiment C or D, it is also possible to couple the register switches 52 a, 52 na to the register rail and not only select the adjusting rails for setting, as described, but also the movement of the adjusting rails in the direction of "scanning" to be transferred to the registration rail and thus also to the armature of the register switch, so that in this case the otherwise necessary contacts 5.4a2 and 54e2 of the registration memory are omitted. In Fig. 14, the armature 52a of the register switch with the z. B. coupled under the influence of a return spring 57a standing registration rail 57, the pins 58a and 58b in the recesses 59a and 59b of the adjusting rails Goa and raised can engage. When the drive 61 is moved in the "setting" direction, the process proceeds as described for exemplary embodiments C and D. When the drive 61 moves in the "scanning" direction, the movement of the adjusting rail is transmitted through the edge of the recess 59 in the direction of the arrow to the pin of the registration rail 57 and thus to the armature 52a, which consequently makes the contact 52k. Since resistor 52w (FIG. 13) not only prevents the short circuit of the current duels but also reduces the holding current, the armature 52a can easily be torn off.

Embodiment relay 52a, 52m as register key (Fig. I 5 and i 6) The register switch 52a, 52m can also take the place of the gaming table register, which otherwise consists of contacts and display device. In this case, the armature 52a (Fig. 15) is developed as a register key 52t. In order to secure the half-position of the armature 52a for the swell indicator, the resistor 527k7 (Fig. 13) is expediently replaced by an auxiliary magnet 62m (Fig. 15 and 16). The magnetic coil 55c and the contacts 54al and 5.4.e1 (Fig.13) are omitted; for this purpose, a second prevention line 63 (Fig. 16) is required for each register to connect the contacts 54 of the registration memory controlled by the setting bees. The magnet is designed in such a way that the armature 62a (Fig.15) rests on its pole in the rest state. If the register threshold contact 56k (Fig. 16) is closed, the series magnet coils 521.n and 62m receive current at the same time; the armature 62 is held in its rest position, whereby the armature 52 during its movement with the nose 52 n to the armature 62 a abuts and not go beyond the '.Mittelstellung and thus also the contact 52k can not close, while the magnets 55 a and 55b obtained via contact 56 k, the full voltage. When the contact 56 k is interrupted, the armature 52 a drops again. If contact 54e is closed, then coil 52m receives full voltage, while coil 62m is de-energized, so that armature 52a goes into the full working position and contact 52k closes. Armature 62a follows armature 52a into the position shown in dotted lines. When operated by hand, if the coil 62 is energized, the armature 62 a is torn off and the full working position is brought about. Armature 62 a does not exert sufficient retraction force at this distance from the pole if: Magnet 62m is excited, if the individual parts are dimensioned accordingly. Embodiment Pre-registration next to main registration (Dept. 17 and 18) The pre-registration serves to visibly report the impulses sent by the registration memory or other prepared registrations to the console without affecting the organ; As described, the magnet coils of the organ stops can only be influenced by the stop switch and stop swell; The pre-registration is also used to prepare changes to the registration by hand. The setting status of the preregistration comes into effect in that it is transferred to the main registry.

The pre-registration works according to the same circuit principle as shown in Fig. 13 as the main registration. For this purpose, the winding 64yta of a control relay can be connected to the line 63. According to Fig. 17 , the armature 64a, this relay, is developed as a register key 64t, which is actuated by the solenoid 6411z and controls the changeover contact 64 k, the center pole of which is connected to the positive or negative pole of the power source. By means of a general switch 67 (Fig. 18) that works together for all registers, the center pole of contact 64 k can be connected to the magnetic coil of the main register 52m via 67, in the same way and with the same effect as contacts 54 via general switch 68 in Position h. In position 68 v, the impulses of the contacts 54 act on the magnetic coil 64m of the preregistration and thus on the register keys 641. If the impulses of a registration memory were transmitted through the contacts 54 ', the prepared registration is expressed by the state of the can be in which any time intervened changing by hand Vorregistratur out before it is transmitted through contact 67 to the main registry 52 '. of course, any adjustment of the general switch 68 can all be done by hand in the Vorregistratur. in .the settings 681a reach the pulses from the contacts 54 directly to the main register 52a, 52 na. »Pre-registration with middle position« (Dept. 17 and 18) In order to simplify the preparation of changes to the registra- tion, especially for organs with scornful register numbers, the following principle is used.

Only those registers which are already in the main register -Existing registration should be added or removed from it, will be in the preregistration set in that the register key from a neutral Middle position is brought into one or the other working position.

For this purpose, each magnet 64na of the preregistration is an auxiliary magnet 65 m assigned (Dept. i7) - which in the switched-on state by its armature 65 a lifts the nose 64.11 of the armature 64a in the middle position; in the (dotted line) Working position of the armature 65 a, a contact 65 k is actuated, which the armature 65 holds in the working position. The effect of the contact 65 k (Dept. 18) can through a Berneinsamen switch 7o can be canceled. Contact 64k is in the middle position of the armature 64a ineffective.

By moving the common contact 69 from a to b, the auxiliary magnet 65 is excited, whereby contact 6.5 k is closed; 65a stays in the working position and brings anchor 64a into the middle position if it was previously in: the position o ("off"). If the armature 64a was in the working position ("On"), the magnet coil 64m is de-energized by switching from 69 to b, and armature 64a also moves into the middle position, since 65 is excited (dotted position of the armature). Contact 69 now switches back from b to a. If the register key 64, t is moved manually to "On", it will stay there because contact 64k is closed; If it is moved manually to "Off", the armature 65a is torn off, which means that it can remain in the "Off" position, since contact 65 k is interrupted. If the change in registration is prepared in this way, the setting of the pre-registration 64a, 641n is transferred to: the main registration 52a, 52m, as already described, by closing contact 67. After this transfer, the central position of the pre-registration can be re-established by temporarily moving the contact 69 from a to b, allowing the described process to be repeated as desired. As long as the middle position of the pre-registration is not necessary, z. B. when the pulses are transmitted from contact 54 via 68v to the preregistration, contact 7o separates the connection of the holding contact 65 k to minus. Connection of the crank sill remote adjustment 'The pre-registration or a contact device simulated with this with a neutral center position can also be used for the remote adjustment of a crank sill, which is constructed according to the principle of A.bb: 9 and io. 66a and 66e (Fig. 18) are the drive magnets of the adjusting rails 33 '(Fig. 9 and 1o). 71 is a common switch that connects the two magnetic coils 66a and 66e to the center pole of the contact 6.ik at the same time. Depending on the position of 64k, the magnet coil 66 connected to plus or minus receives current, whereby the setting of the preregistration is transferred to the register sill, which is immediately expressed via contact 56 in the position of the main register 5 2 a 52m. In this case, too, only the registers that differ from the existing status need to be moved accordingly in the pre-registration.

Sequence of the processes To achieve the goal of the invention mentioned at the beginning is one of the registration memories described (Fig. i to 8), a combination selector (Fig. I i and 1a), a gaming table with main and pre-registration as well as register sill (Fig.9 and io, 15 to 18) to be connected to each other. The handling of any desired The setting or scanning process can then be carried out in any way using a control switch, a relay chain or other known 'means are made such that the repeated activation of a contact is sufficient to register for registration to fetch.

i. Example for the process: »Continuous registration« The through the voter certain combination of the registration memory was on the pre-registration transfer.

New operation of the introductory train: The setting of the pre-registration is transferred to the main registry and thus has an effect on the organ; the voter is advanced one step; the next combination of registry memory is transferred to the pre-registration.

- Example for the sequence: »Continuous setting« By pressing the setting train is setting the main registry on the by the voter transmit certain combination. The voter then moves one step further. 3. Example for the »Repetition« sequence By actuating the repetition train the current path is closed via the repeater contact arm of the selector, so that the previous combination to the main registry from the registration memory is transmitted from. Automatic switching does not take place here.

d .. Example of the sequence: "Checking a combination" in the voter a certain combination is set and then transferred to the pre-registration office.

5. Example of the process: »Register through the pre-registration office with middle position «The preregistration is brought into the middle position. A registry change is set in the pre-registration and by actuating the introduction train transferred to the main registry; this is reflected in the pre-registration the middle position.

Connection with a musical instrument with sound generation on electric Way As far as the musical instrument switch with the position »On«, »Off« or »Half« is required, the connection is made as described. Are continuous or graduated scales present, these are divided into the corresponding number of register keys, where -the group of register keys belonging to a scale is known through trigger mechanical means in such a way that only one key is pulled at a time.

By means of further contacts on relays 52a, 52 ni, further connections can be achieved independently of the control circuit, as shown in the drawing, and further required effects can also be achieved by appropriately designing the magnets 55 (a), if further circuits to be controlled are present.
