ABSTRACT:
A potentiometer comprising a casing having a short height relative to its diameter and constituting a receptacle for a resistor element and a sliding contact for contact with the latter, the resistor element being supported on the bottom of the casing and the sliding contact being arranged in permanent mechanical and electric contact therewith, being of annular and laminar shape and having a diameter substantially equal to that of the resistor, the shape of which constitutes an incomplete circular annulus having a zone of discontinuity exhibiting a small angle, corresponding to a projection formed on the bottom of the casing and serving as a travel-limiting stop in either direction in order to limit the rotational travel of the axial actuating element, the manipulation of which produces the rotation of the sliding contact on the resistor element.
