r! o /fi A) UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANK E. MILLER, OF BONE DU LAO, WISCONSIN.
TELEPHONE ATTACHMENT.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK E. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fond du Lac, in the county of Fond du Lac, State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Telephone Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The present invention is directed to improvements in attachments for telephone stands, and has for its object to so construct an attachment of this nature that the same can be readily attached to desk telephones of the conventional form.
A further object of the invention is to provide an attachment so constructed that when the same is applied to a telephone stand the usual receiver can be placed in convenient relation to the ear, thus obviating the necessity of holding the receiver in one hand while telephoning.
Vith these and other objects in View, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a telephone stand, of any well known type, the same being provided with the usual transmitter 2, and receiver supporting arm 3, the outer end of which terminates in a yoke 4, the arms of which are provided with openings 5.
Connected to the stand 1 is a split band 6, to one side of which is pivotally connected a lever 7. To one end of the lever 7 is pivotally connected the lower end of a link 8, the upper end of which being pivotally connected to the arm 3.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 20, 1913.
Patented June 2, 1914.
Serial No. 768,836.
A second arm 9 is provided and has its lower end provided with fur-cations 10 which terminate in lateral threaded extensions 11 connected to its upper end a clamp 13, which engages the receiver 14, and as the arm 9 is curved the receiver will be supported slightly in advance of the transmitter 2 so that when the ear is placed against the re ceiver conversation may be conveniently carried on.
The free end of the lever 7 is provided with a thumb piece 15, which when engaged and forced downwardly will raise the arm 3, through the medium of the link 8, and as long aS the thumb piece is held down conversation can be had over the line.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that an attachment for telephones has been provided which will enable a one arm person to use the telephone with ease.
What is claimed is The combination with a telephone stand, of an attachment comprising a band adapted to be clamped to the stand, a lever pivotally connected to one side of the band, a link having its lower end pivotally connected to the lower end of the lever, and its upper end to the usual receiver supporting arm, a
curved arm having furcations formed upon its lower end, means for connecting the furcations to the receiver supporting arm, a clamp pivotally connected to the upper end of the curved arm and adapted to engage the receiver, as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof, I ailix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
