Claim 6

A radio receiver for installation on supporting member having an aperture therein which may be spaced from a predetermined position by various amounts, the radio receiver comprising: a receiver housing containing components of the radio receiver, and having a front plate wherein a dial indicating assembly is attached to, and side plates one of which has a cut portion formed therethrough; a rotatable control shaft of the radio receiver extending from the front plate for manually controlling an adjustable component within the housing; a frame holding and carrying the control shaft; and a gear assembly movably coupling the frame to the housing thereby the frame being horizontally movable in and out of the cut portion of the housing along the front plate, the control shaft being so positioned on the front plate to fit in the aperture in the supporting member.

Claim 7

A radio receiver for installation on supporting member having an aperture therein which may be spaced from a predetermined position by various amounts, the radio receiver comprising: a receiver housing containing components of the radio receiver, and having a front plate wherein a dial indicating assembly is attached to, and side plates one of which has a cut portion formed therethrough; a rotatable control shaft of the radio receiver extending from the front plate for manually controlling an adjustable component within the housing; a frame having a slot perpendicular to the front plate wherein the control shaft is vertically movable to allow vertical adjustment of the shaft position thereof, the frame holding and carrying the control shaft; and a gear assembly causing the frame to be horizontally movable in and out of the cut portion of the housing along the front plate to allow horizontal adjustment of the shaft position of the control shaft, thereby the control shaft being so positioned on the front plate to fit in the aperture in the supporting member.

Claim 8

A radio receiver for installation on supporting member having an aperture therein which may be spaced from a predetermined position by various amounts, the radio receiver comprising: a receiver housing containing components of the radio receiver, and having a front plate wherein a dial indicating assembly is attached to, and side plates one of which has a cut portion formed therethrough; a rotatable control shaft of the radio receiver extending from the front plate for manually controlling an adjustable component within the housing; a frame having a slot perpendicular to the front plate wherein the control shaft is vertically movable to allow vertical adjustment of the shaft position thereof, the frame holding and carrying the control shaft; and a gear assembly causing the frame to be horizontally movable in and out of the cut portion of the housing along the front plate to allow horizontal adjustment of the shaft position of the control shaft, thereby the control shaft being so positioned on the front plate to fit in the aperture in the supporting member.

Claim 9

A radio receiver according to claim 3 further comprising an additional frame carrying a volume control shaft, said shafts being so positioned on the front plate to fit in a pair of apertures in the supporting member.

Claim 10

A control assembly according to claim 2 wherein the gear assembly comprises a pinion-rack structure between the housing and the frame.

Claim 11

A control assembly according to claim 6 wherein the rack is provided by the turned and notched peripheral edge of the frame while the pinion is attached to the housing to engage with the rack.

Claim 12

A control assembly according to claim 7 wherein the housing has in its bottom plate an opening including a short diameter portion and a long diameter portion and a spring attached to the bottOm plate urges the pinion to the short diameter portion to bring into engagement relation with the rack.

Claim 13

A control assembly according to claim 7 wherein the adjustment of the shaft position of the control shaft is accomplishing by rotation of the pinion and resultant movement of the frame.

Claim 14

A control assembly according to claim 2 wherein provision is made for guiding the movement of the frame.
