A TTORNE I8 [0 WITNESSES UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ANTHONY REIHING, OF EAST TOLEDO, OHIO.
TELEPHONE-CORD.
Application filed October 15. 1919.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ANTHONY REIHING, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of East Toledo, in'the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Telephone- Cords, of which the following is a specification.
Edy invention is an improvement in telephone cords, and has for its object to proide mechanism for use in connection with the usual cords connecting the receiver to the stand, for preventing twisting of the cord, for prolonging the life thereoi and preventing breaking of the transmission wires.
in the drawings:
Figure l is a side view of a telephone stand having the improved cord;
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of the attachment.
The present embodiment of the invention is shown in connection with a telephone stand 1 and in connection with the cord 2 which connects the receiver or earpiece 3 with the stand. This cord, as is known, is of woven fabric material, and inoloses the trzmsmission wires, and where the cord is of any length, as it usually is, it is liable to become twisted and kinkod. The attach ment has for its object to prevent this kinking and twisting of the cord.
The attachment comprises a reinforcing support of wire of suitable gage and of suitable material, as, for instance, brass, cop- Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 330,819.
per or ordinary wire. The wire at, as shown, is provided at regular intervals with loops or eyes 5 which, in the present instance, are formed by bends in the wire. These loops or eyes encircle the cord 2 and they are arranged at such intervals that they will hold the cord closely against the body of the wire, furnishing a reinforcing support for the same, which is yet flexible.
The support will prevent twisting and kinking of the wire and will hold it in approximately the position shown in Fig. 1 when the receiver is arranged with its receiving end downward. There can be no abrupt bends with the improved support at the receiver when at the stand. The wire may be connected at its ends to the base of the stand and to the receiver in any suitable or desired manner.
I claim:
In combination with the conducting cord leading from the base to the receiver of a telephone, means for preventing twisting or kinking of the cord comprising a length of resilient wire disposed against the cord and secured at one end to the receiver and at the other end to the base, said wire being of the same length as the cord contacting therewith throughout its length, and said wire being formed at spaced intervals with loops formed 'by bending encircling the cord, said flexible wire being normally substantially straight and opposing flexing ot the cord in any direction and offering torsional resistance to twisting of the cord.
