Telephone adapter

Description

The invention relates to a telephone adapter according to the preamble of claim 1. In particular, the
Invention the construction of a telephone adapter with which two or more different telephone systems can be connected in different directions.

Usually, a telephone adapter is used to connect a specific telephone system, with the jack opening designed in a certain direction. For this reason, different telephone adapters must be used for different
telephone systems or connection directions are used.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a
To create a telephone adapter of the type mentioned above, with which one or more different telephone systems in
can be connected in different directions.

This object is solved by the invention characterized in claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below.
Show it:

Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the telephone adapter;

Fig. 2 is an assembly view of the telephone adapter; and

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the assembled telephone adapter.

The telephone adapter shown in Fig. 1 comprises a base plate 1, a printed circuit 2 and a top cover 3. There is also provided a terminal block 4, a German specification telephone jack 5 and a plurality of US specification telephone jacks 6 which are respectively mounted on the printed circuit 2, the German specification and US specification telephone jacks 5, 6 being connected to the base block 4 in a corresponding manner. The US specification telephone jacks 6 are arranged in different directions. The base plate 1 has a plurality of pins 8 which protrude at suitable locations to fix an outside line 7 which is connected to the base block 4 to prevent the outside line from coming loose. The upper cover 3 has an opening 9 for the passage of the trunk line 7 and a plurality of openings 10 and 11 for arranging the German specification and US specification telephone jacks 5, 6 on the printed circuit 2. Thus, after the upper cover 3 is attached to the base plate 1 for covering the printed circuit 2 of the terminal block 4 and the German and US specification telephone jacks 5 and 6, the connecting ends of the telephone jacks 6 and 6 are arranged in the corresponding openings 10 and 11. Since the connecting ends of the US specification telephone jacks 6 are arranged in different directions, the telephone connector can be conveniently connected to one of the US specification telephone jacks 6 according to the direction of the telephone connector. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the German specification telephone jack can be replaced by a telephone jack of a different specification.
