Definitions

  • This invention refers to a protector for telephone headsets whose specific purpose is to create a physical barrier between said handset and the user, while not interfering with the telephone transmission, i.e. neither with the sound emission or reception. Said physical barrier is focused upon the health aspect, and the protector is particularly applicable in public telephones.
  • the proposed protector in this invention has been designed to resolve this problem in a completely satisfactory form, comprising a single-use component which isolates the handset from the user, avoiding direct contact, and therefore enabling the user to be unaffected by any dirt there may be on the apparatus, while also protecting it during use.
  • the protector put forward is structured on the basis of a band of paper or similar suitable material, which folds over on itself and which, by means of side seams, forms a bag or receptacle which is large enough to contain the telephone handset, whose wire emerges at the opening.
  • Said side seams can be provided by any standard securing means such as sewn seams, adhesive lines, by securing lines stamping the paper itself, etc. without affecting the substance of the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a ground plan view of the band, made of paper or some other material used to form the telephone handset protector which is the subject of this invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the shaped protector.
  • Figure 3 shows, finally, a front elevation of said protector, now in use.
  • this telephone handset protector is formed on the basis of a rectangular band of paper (1) folded over on itself along its transversal mid-line (2) so that, in association with the side seams (3-3′) it forms a bag or receptacle of such a size as to accommodate the telephone handset (4) as shown with the broken line in figure 3. Therefore all the operations involving said handset during the course of the telephone call are carried out through said bag, i.e. with no direct physical contact with the handset, and by creating a hygienic barrier for the area of the face which is usually in contact with said handset, specifically the ear, as well as the others e.g. nose and mouth, which are very close.
  • the wire (5) of the telephone handset (4) emerges from said receptacle through its opening, which can extend toward the sides of the protector, as shown in the figures, in the form of large areas (6-6′) which are not affected by the seams (3-3′), thereby making it easier to introduce and extract the handset (4) as already pointed out.
  • seams (3-3′) may in fact be sewn or they may also be secured by adhesive, soldering, mechanical stamping, etc. without in any way affecting the substance of the invention.
  • the protector can also, rather than being of a single band, be structured on the basis of two rectangular sections whose dimensions are half that of said band: they are sewn together by the aforementioned seams (3-3′), which substitute for the previous fold line (2) while also being secured by a third sewn sector (7) without this either affecting the substance of the invention.
  • the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements may vary, provided that this does not involve an alteration to the substance of the invention.
