    • A channel number display device for a television receiver for displaying the numerals of the channel to which the receiver is tuned with the display being initially bright immediately after a channel change, and then after a predetermined time of several seconds, being reduced in brightness so as not to distract from the program material. Through the use of a thyristor, regardless of the number of individual elements in the numerical display, the brightness levels may be held to predetermined quantities.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONOver the years, it has been a desire of television manufacturers to provide a display of the channel numbers on the television receiver so that they can be easily read, especially immediately after tuning to a new station so that the viewer can determine if he is at the desired station. This is especially true for television receivers having remote control, wherein the viewer is spaced at the viewing distance from the receiver while tuning to a new station. Various efforts to accomplish this display in the past have been largely unsuccessful due to cost or inefficient displays. While it has been a goal to initially illuminate the channel number display at a relatively bright level, and later diminish the brightness in order to cause a minimum distraction from the receiver picture, previous methods have not been in common use due to expense and complexity or to devices which were ineffective.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThis invention overcomes the above problems by providing a seven-segment units digital display member and a seven-segment tens digit display member, each of which have seven individual illuminating elements arranged to display all 10 numerals upon selective illumination of the segments. The segments are arranged so that when they are all illuminated and by selective illumination of the segments, all ten numerals can be depicted. Having a tens digit and a units display permits display of all VHF and UHF channel numbers. The segment-illuminating bulbs are connected in parallel, and the more segments that are illuminated, the more current is drawn.An alternating current supply is connected to the segment bulbs, and during normal operation, is half-wave rectified so that only one-half of the AC voltage is used to illuminate the bulbs, resulting in a low-level illumination. However, everytime the television tuner is changed from one channel to another, the illumination of the bulbs is increased, regardless of which channel number is selected and the number of bulbs energized, for a predetermined time period, so that immediately after a channel change, the viewer is presented with a bright representation of the new channel number. After several seconds, the light level diminishes to a low level of illumination so that while the channel numerals are illuminated, they are done so at a lower level which will not distract from viewing of the receiver screen.In order to accomplish the above, a thyristor is connected in parallel to the above-mentioned half-wave rectifying diode and poled in the opposite direction so that when it conducts, full-wave voltage will be delivered to the segment bulbs for increased illumination. Also, due to the low resistance characteristic of the thyristor, adequate current is available regardless of the number of bulbs illuminated so that the same level of illumination is achieved regardless of the numeral displayed. The trigger circuit for the thyristor is a resistance capacitance combination having a time constant of several seconds which operates through a transistor to turn on the thyristor. Initially, the capacitance is fully charged; and everytime a channel change is effected, a switch momentarily discharges the capacitor, saturating the transistor, and triggering the thyristor. Since the condenser discharge is momentary, it immediately starts to recharge; and when it reaches its charged state, the transistor is biased off, and the thyristor is turned off, thereby reestablishing the normal half-wave power to the illuminating segments. These and other objects and advantages will become more apparent when a preferred embodiment is discussed in connection with the drawings.

    • There is disclosed a UHF tuner channel indicating device adapted for use in a television receiver. In this device, two drums which carry digits in the unit digit and tens digit, respectively, for indicating channel numbers, are placed coaxially with each other and rotatably, with the drum carrying the unit digits being placed inwardly of the other drum, said drums being coupled to a rotary device of a tuner, whereby one turn of the unit-digit carrying drum causes the tens digit carrying drum to rotate by one-tenth turn by means of an intermittent shifting mechanism, thereby indicating a channel number in two digits.

    • A tuner drive assembly for use with a tuning mechanism for selecting one of a limited number of channels in the UHF band. The assembly has a rotatable turret which is driven by the input shaft. The turret has first and second spaced end sections with a plurality of screw elements rotatably mounted therebetween. One screw element is provided for each channel to be selected. Each element has a threaded portion and an internally threaded member normally engaging the threaded portion is mounted thereon for axial movement along the element as the element is rotated.
