Specification of Letters Patent.

.Patented July, 1912u Application tiled February 2'?, 1912 Serial No. 680,259.

ence being had 'therein to the accompanying '.lhis invention relates to a. telephone reu ceiver holder, and the primary object ot' my invention is to furnish the transmitter,arm

-ei" a telephone with positive and reliable means `for supliiorting receivers in position to ne used when the head is placed in proze irnity to the transmit-ter .tor talking purposes.

Another object ot this invention is to provide a telephone with receivers that can be easily and quickly shifted into engagement With the ears, when the telephone to be used, without resorting to the use of the hands, thereby permitting' ot a personV tal h'- ing over the telephone while using the hands tor otherI purposes.

A further object ot this invention is to provide a telephone receiver holder o't novel construction that alloivs both lars t/o be used in receiving.; a message when carrying on a conversation over the telephone.

A still further object ot this invention is te provide a receiver holder that is simple in -construction7 durable, applicable to various types oit telephones and highly ctiieient for the purposes For which it is intended.

l,Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construetiou, combination and arrangement of parts to he hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.

lltet'erenee will now he had to the draw ine", '\vliercin:--

Figure 1 is a side elevation of telephone receiver holder in accordance with this in rention, and Fig. 2 is a plan of the saine.

The reference numeral l denotes a port ion ot a transmitter arm having a transmitter 2, and attached to said arm by a clamping;` screw 3 is the lower bi'l'ureated end flot' an upright 5. 'lhc upper end of the upright. is biturcated, as at t3 and adjustabtv mounted iu the upper end ot `said lutin-ight. by a clamping' srreiv 7 is the rearward extension 3 oil a 'traine il that has parallrl arms lt) and inwardly projet-.thief supports l1,

Pivotally connected to the supports ll by pins l2 are receiver holders 13, said holders having the forward ends thereof provided with oppositely disposed receivers ,14. These i .receivers have binding posts l5 to which wires ot a' telephone circuit are connected. rlfhe holders 13 are carried by the lower end el' the pins and mounted upon the upper ends of said pins are cranks lo that are piv' otally connected by pins 1T to links 1S, said linhrlieing; pivotally connected by pins lt) to a curved head piece 20 that has a pad 2l.

Mounted in the arms l0 are the outer ends et' curved pins said curved pins extending'n into apert'ured depending' lugs 23 earrietlrloy the cranks 16. lflncireling the carved pins :'22, between the arms l0 and the lugs 2b, are coiled compression springs 24, said springs retaining` the receivers 114; in an enen position, whereby a head can be .eas-ills placed in engagement `lwith the pad 21 i-t the head piece Q0.

Wires connect the binding?y posts 15 to contact pieces F26, carried hy the cranksl, and these contact pieces are adapted to contact with L-shaped Contact. lpieces 27,' carried hy the inne sides ot the arms lOr'the contact; pieces 97' being' ahi'tted te extend into the path oit the contact pieces Q6 when the cranks li are shifted. The Contact pieces .27 are connected to telephonie circuit Wires 28,

heretoforereferred to.

Vvlhen it is desired to use the telephone, it is only necessary to plaeethe forehead of the head in engagement with` the pad 21 ofthe head piece Q0 andhy' a slight. pressure upon said head piece, :the 4receivers 14 are shifted into engagement- With the ears and the Contact pieces 26 into engagement, with the contact pieces S27. thereby establishing; a telephonie circuit that perni-itsof a conversation being' carried on through the medium of the transmitter 2.

It is apparent that the franie`9 can he adjusted to eorreetljt-` position the receivers 14A relatively to the transmit-cl2 and that the natural position of thchezid in front of the t ansmitter 2 for talking'purposes will correctly position the reeeiversfl for liearing' purposes.y Immediately up'ouithe head` being removed from thi` lie:ld'f-1.liere. the` telephonie eireuit is broken and threeeivers Al l are moved a sullieieut distance "apitrt t0 permit ol the head beingmoved away from ihr telephone without injury to therereiver holders.

It is thought that the operation and utility of the device Will be apparent Without further description, and Whilel in the drawing there is illust-rated a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the structural elements thereof are susceptible to such changes as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

l. In a telephone receiver holder, the combination With a transmitter arm, of a frame adjustably supported thereby, oppositely disposed receiver holders movably supported by said frame and supporting receivers, a head piece in connection with said holders and adapted to be pressed to adjust said -holders,j,and contact Vpieces in connectionwith said frame and adapted to establish a telephonie circuitwhen said head piece is pressed.

' 2. The combination with a transmitter arm, ofa frame adjustably supported thereby, linwardly projecting oppositely disposed sup r'ts carried by said frame, receiver hol ers pivotally carried by said supports, cranks'movable with said holders, a head piece loosely connected to saidl cranks and ada ted to be pressed to adjust said receiver hol ers, and contact pieces carried bysaid cranks andv said frame for establishing a telephonie circuit,when said head piece is pressed. l y

3. The combination -with a transmitter arm, of a frame adjustablysup'ported there! by, inwardly projecting oppositely disposed supports carried by said frame, receiver hol ers pivotally carried by said supports, cranks movable with said holders, a head piece loosely connected to said cranks and adafpted to be pressed to adjust said receiver hol ers, contact ieees carried by said cranks and said frame or establishing a telephonie circuit when said head piece is pressed, 'and means in 'connection with said frame and v 4. In a telephone receiver holder, the combination with a transmitter arm, of an upv right 'clamped thereto, a frame adjustably supported by said upright, oppositely dis: posed supports carried by said frame, r e ceiver .holders pivotally connected to said supports, cranks movable with said receiver holders, a head piece looselyv connected to said cranks and adapted to be pressed to lmove said holders, Contact pieces supportedv by said cranks and'said frame and adapted -to estCblish a telephonie circuit in connection with 'the receivers of said holders, and spring interposed between said cranks and said frame and adaptedI to retain Said holders in a normally open position. l 5. In a telephone receiver holder, thecombination'with a transmitter arm, of an up right clamped thereto, al frame adjustably connected to said l`upright, oppositely disposed supports carried by said frame,

holders pivotally carried by said supports,

receivers carried by said holders, cranks movable with said holders, a curved head piece loosely connected to said cranks and adapted to bey pressed to move said holders, contact pieces carried by said` cranks and electrically connected to said receivers, contact' pieces carried by said frame and adapted to be'engaged `by the first mentioned' con tact ypieces to establish a'telephonic circuit in connection with said receivers, and means interposedY between said cranks and said frame for holding' said receiver holders in a normally open position.

vIn testimony whereof I affix my ignature in the presence of two Witnesses.
