La Figure 11 est une vue selon la fleche XI de la Figure 7; et la Figure 12 est une vue selon la fleche XII de la Figure 8.
Le dispositif decrit et represente comprend une base 1, de forme al-longee, sur laquelle sont fixes des clips 4 permettant sa fixation sur le combine B.Aux extremites de la base 1 sont articules deux bras mobiles 2 et 3 qui sont mobiles entre la position de repliement de la Figure 1, contre la base 1, et la position de service des Figures 2 à 6. Le bras 2 qui forme bequille d'appui contre la poitrine de l'utilisateur est articule autour d'un pivot 7, normal à l'axe de la base 1, et le bras 3 qui forme une crosse 30 d'appui contre la nuque de l'utilisateur est articule autour d'un pivot 12, également normal à l'axe de la base 1. Les axes des pivots 7 et 2 font entre eux un angle sensiblement droit. Les axes des pivots 7 et 12 font chacun, par aille,urs, un angle aigu avec la normale 17 au plan de la base 1 sur lequel sont fixés les clips 4.
La crosse 30 destinee a venir au contact de la nuque de l'utilisateur presente une section elargie et peut présenter une surface légèrement rugueuse pour une meilleure adhérence. Il en est de même pour l'extrémité
du bras 2.
Par ailleurs, pour un reglage de la position d'utilisation, le bras 3 peut être prévu télescopique dans sa partie droite, cette caractéristique permettant en outre de reduire l'encombrement du dispositif en position repliee.
Chaque bras 2 et 3 est associé à un ressort de rappel tendant à l'ame-ner en position de service, ce ressort étant par exemple un ressort héli-coïdal logé dans le pivot correspondant 7, ou 12, qui comporte pour chaque bras une partie 8, solidaire de la base 1 formant cage pour ledit ressort 5 et une partie 18 solidaire du bras correspondant. Les parties 8 et 18 de chaque pivot sont en contact de friction selon deux plans distincts, rac-cordés par des decrochements 15 formant butees pour limiter l'ouverturedes bras. Les extremites des ressorts helicoïdaux 5 sont engagées dans des logements 20 des parties 8 et 18 des pivots.

1~50~317 Pour le maintien des bras en position de repliement, une pince élas-tique 16 est fixee sur la base 1 et recoit le bras 2, qui présente une encoche appropriée. Ce meme bras 2 présente egalement un croc'net 14 qui, en position de repliement, reçoit et retientle bras 3.
Ainsi, la pince 16 retient le bras 2 et, par l'intermediaire de celui-ci, le bras 3. L'ouverture de cette pince provoque l'ouverture simultanee des deux bras.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est realise en tout materiau approprié, par exemple en ZAMAC, ou en PVC, ou en NYLON et selon toute technique conve-nable, par moulage par exemple.
Il peut etre integre au combine telephonique lors de la realisation de celui-ci.
In addition, the device according to the invention must be able to be used vice by the hand holding the handset, without the need to inter-break the conversation started ~
The telephone handset support device according to the invention, comprising an elongated base provided with means for fixing to the combined, is characterized in that it comprises, articulated at both ends of this base, two movable arms each between a folding position in which the arm concerned is folded against said base, and a posi-tion of service in which each arm made with the longitudinal axis of the base at a substantially right angle, said arms being for this purpose articulated cules around two pivots which are integral with the base and which make between them a substantially right angle, the arm whose pivot is close of the microphone forming a support stand against the user's chest while the arm whose pivot is close to the earpiece ends in a butt stock on the user's neck, elastic means tending to recall each of the arms from the folding position towards the operating position and locking means, releasable by pressure, keeping the arms in the folded position.
Thus, by the simple operation of the locking means which, as is will see below, can be achieved by the action of a single finger, the arms mobiles are released and come to pick up, under the effect of the recall means, their service position. The handset can then be put in position of use by engagement of the stick behind the neck of the user and by pressing the crutch on the latter's chest.

The device described and represented comprises a base 1, of al-lanyard, on which clips 4 are fixed allowing it to be fixed to the combines B. At the ends of the base 1 are articulated two movable arms 2 and 3 which are movable between the folding position of FIG. 1, against the base 1, and the service position of Figures 2 to 6. The arm 2 which forms support crutch against the user's chest is hinged around a pivot 7, normal to the axis of the base 1, and the arm 3 which forms a stick 30 of support against the neck of the user is articulated around a pivot 12, also normal to the axis of the base 1. The axes of the pivots 7 and 2 are between them a substantially right angle. The axes of pivots 7 and 12 are each, by wing, urs, an acute angle with the normal 17 to the plane of the base 1 on which the clips are fixed 4.
The butt 30 intended to come into contact with the neck of the user has an enlarged section and may have a slightly rough for better grip. It is the same for the end arm 2.
Furthermore, for adjusting the position of use, the arm 3 can be provided telescopic in its right part, this characteristic further reducing the size of the device in position folded.
Each arm 2 and 3 is associated with a return spring tending to the soul-in the service position, this spring being for example a helical spring coïdal housed in the corresponding pivot 7, or 12, which comprises for each arm a part 8, integral with the base 1 forming a cage for said spring 5 and a part 18 secured to the corresponding arm. Parts 8 and 18 of each pivot are in friction contact in two separate planes, strung by recesses 15 forming stops to limit the opening of the arms. The ends of the coil springs 5 are engaged in housings 20 of the parts 8 and 18 of the pivots.

1 ~ 50 ~ 317 To keep the arms in the folded position, an elastic clamp tick 16 is fixed on base 1 and receives arm 2, which has a appropriate notch. This same arm 2 also has a hook 14 which, in the folded position, receives and retains the arm 3.
Thus, the clamp 16 retains the arm 2 and, through this one, the arm 3. The opening of this clamp causes the opening simultaneous of the two arms.
The device according to the invention is made of any suitable material, for example in ZAMAC, or in PVC, or in NYLON and according to any suitable technique filler, by molding for example.
It can be integrated into the telephone handset when carrying out this one.
