Cyclically operated switch control apparatus

Claim 1

SWITCH CONTROL APPARATUS COMPRISING IN COMBINATION A FIRST ROTATABLE SHAFT, A PLURALITY OF CAMS RIGIDLY MOUNTED IN AXIALLY SPACED RELATIONSHIP ON SAID FIRST SHAFT SO AS TO BE ROTATABLE THEREWITH FOR OPERATING A PLURALITY OF SWITCHES, POWER-OPERABLE MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID FIRST SHAFT FOR IMPARTING ROTATION THERETO, ELECTRICALLY OPERABLE MEANS FOR VARYING THE SPEED OF ROTATION OF SAID FIRST SHAFT, A FIRST SET OF BRUSHES MOUNTED ON SAID FIRST SHAFT FOR ROTATION THEREWITH, A FIRST PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS WITH WHICH SAID FIRST SET OF BRUSHES ARE CONTACTABLE DURING ROTATION OF SAID FIRST SHAFT, AND AT LEAST ONE OF WHICH IS ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO SAID ELECTRICALLY OPERABLE MEANS, A SECOND ROTATABLE SHAFT, A SECOND SET OF BRUSHES MOUNTED ON SAID SECOND SHAFT, A SECOND PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS WITH WHICH SAID SECOND SET OF BRUSHES ARE CONTACTABLE DURING ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT OF SAID SECOND SHAFT, AND TO WHICH ELECTRIC CURRENT IS SUPPLIABLE UNDER THE CONTROL OF SAID SECOND SET OF BRUSHES, AT LEAST SOME OF SAID SECOND PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS BEING ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO AT LEAST SOME OF SAID FIRST PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS SO THAT WHEN SAID SECOND SET OF BRUSHES OCCUPY PREDETERMINED POSITIONS RELATIVE TO SAID SECOND PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS, AND SAID FIRST SET OF BRUSHES REACH PREDETERMINED POSITIONS RELATIVE TO SAID FIRST PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS, THE TWO SETS OF BRUSHES ENABLE ELECTRIC CURRENT TO FLOW THROUGH THE ELECTRICALLY INTERCONNECTED CONDUCTORS TO SAID ELECTRICALLY OPERABLE MEANS FOR ENABLING THE LATTER TO VARY THE SPEED OF ROTATION OF SAID FIRST SHAFT.
