Application November 28, 1947, Serial No. 788,450
These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the accompanying drawing of a wiring diagram illustrating an embodiment of my invention.
In the form of the invention shown, a dual triode tube l is connected with the A. V. C. circuit 2 of a radio receiver. The control grid 5 of one triode section of the tube I is connected with the voltage divider resistor l of the A. V. C. circuit 2. ohm resistor 6 which, in turn, is connected with a 5 mi. condenser I and the other grid 8 01' the dual triode tube I. The last referred to'grid I is connected with its own grounded cathode 8 by a 20 megohm resistor I 0. The other cathode I I is grounded, but it is to be understood that a dual triode containing a common cathode may be used in place of the separate cathodes 9 and II. Also within the scope of the present invention, separate triodes may be used instead of the dual triode, and which separate triodes would be connected in the manner described.
The 20,000 ohm resistor 6 connects the plate 5 and the condenser I to a 100 volt plate supply lead, and the said resistor is also connected with the coil of a 10,000 ohm relay I2 having normally opened contacts. The coil of the relay I2 is also connected with the plate I3 of the second referred to triode section.
The normally opened contacts of the relay I2 are connected in series with one line of the main power source to the radio receiver, which source is indicated at II by the symbol for a plug, and includes therein the usual manual switch I5. Another switch I6 is provided in parallel with the normally opened contacts of the relay I2.
In operation, the switch IS in parallel with the relay I2 is closed, and subsequently the manual switch I5 of the radio receiver is also closed. After selecting a station, the switch I6 connected with the relay I2 is opened and the described automatic cut-off has control and is ready to cut off the radio receiver by opening the main The plate 5 is connected with a 20,000
3 Claims. (01. 250-2) power line II when the carrier frequency of the selected radio station terminates.
When a station is selected, a voltage is applied to the A. V. C. voltage divider resistor I and a negative voltage is applied to the grid 3 of the first section of the dual triode I. This negative voltage causes a reduced plate current through the 20,000 ohm resistor 6, providing a relatively high plate voltage of the plate 5. The condenser will also have the same voltage with respect to current as the plate 5. The grid 8 of the second section of the dual triode I will be zero voltage with respect to its cathode 9; therefore, the plate current of the plate l3 to the relay I2 will be high enough to maintain the normally opened contacts of the said relay in their closed position.
When the carrier frequency of the selected station is turned off, the negative voltage is removed from the grid 3 of the first triode section, causing the plate current of the plate 5 to increase to a relatively large value, and thus increase the voltage drop across the resistor i. The last function brings the plate 5 and condenser to near current potential, and thereby discharges the said condenser through the resistor l and the resistor III. The voltage drop produced across the resistor I0 by the discharge of the condenser I will momentarily produce a negative voltage on the grid 8, causing the plate current of the plate I3 to be lowered to a value permitting the contacts of the relay I2 to open, removing the main power source from the radio receiver.
