Description
Patented Feb. 27, 1923.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.-
T HOMAS W. TURNER, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
TERMINAL. I j".
Application, filed May 24, 1921. Serial No. 472,286.
To all whom it may concern:
re it known that I, THOMAS V. TURNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at ,l\ linneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Terminals, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to terminals for telephone wires and the object is to provide an improved type of so called aerial terminal in which various kinds of connections may be made in a more efficient and practical manner than has been done heretofore. The invention is described in the following specification and is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the terminal, a part of the outer casing thereof being broken away, and other adjacent parts.
Fig. 2 is an enlar ed detail sectional view on the line 22 in ig. 1.
Referring to the drawing by reference characters 3 designates the upper end of a pole on which is secured by brackets 4 and 5 a sheet metal can or casing 6. 7 designates the in or office cable holding wires 8, the cable 9 holds the outgoing telephone wires 10 to more distant points, while the wires 11 are those which lead directly from the terminal out through aperforated plate 11 to telephones in the immediate vicinity. The elements as thus far described are in common use and of well known construction, and it is only in the construction of the terminal which connects the above mentioned wires that my invention resides.
Mounted within the container 6 is a standard consisting of two vertical shells 12 and 1.3 the same being rigidly connected by angle irons 14. Said shells have open sides closed, respectively, by members 12. 12 and 13", 13, which are preferably welded to the shells. The shell 12 sits over a hole 15 in the bottom of the container. up through which extends the wires 8, and the shell .13 bears a similar relation to a hole 16, while the wires 11. extend up between the shells l2 and 13 through the plate '11.. Thus each of the three sets of wires are kept separate from each other, so that repairs, alterations, insertions and adjustments may be easily and convenientl made in any set without disturbing or being confused by the wires of the other sets.
The shell 12 is provided with two vertical sets of insulation plugs 17, and the shell 13 with two similar setslS. Each plug is provided with fuse holding members 19 in which may be secured fuses 20, said fuses each connecting the corresponding plugs 17, 18 through which a closed circuit is desired. 18" designates lightning arresters which are secured on the plugs 18 by brackets 18. The plugs 17 are all connected with the wires 8, this connection being permanent from the telephone oflice. The inner ends of the plugs 18 are similar to those of 17 so that as many wires as are used in the cable 9 may be connected to the ofiice wires 8, as is' cured to the binding posts 21 are first in-- I serted through perforations in guiding strips 22 which are secured in vertical position along side of the shell 13.
It is understood that suitable modifications ma ture of t is invention if such modifications come within the s irit and scope of the appended claims. aving now therefore fully shown and described my invention, what I claim to be new and desire to protect by United States Letters Patent is:
1. A device of the class described consisting ofa pair of spaced vertical shells, series of insulated connecting plugs in each shell, means on corresponding plugs of the shells for securing thereto fuses, means for connecting ofiice wires to the lugs of one shell, and means for indepen ently connecting two sets of outgoing wires to the plugs of the other shell.
2. A device of the class described having a suitable base, and consisting of two spaced vertical shells resting on said base, a series of insulated connecting plugs in each shell, plugs having means for securing fuses thereto, means for securing ofiice wires to the plugs of one of said shells, and means on the plugs of the other shell for independently securing the ends of two sets of outgoing wires.
3. A device of the class described having a suitable base, and consisting of two spaced vertical shells resting on said base, a. series of insulated connecting, plugs in each shell,
be made in the form and struc said plugs having means for securing thereto, means forsecuring ofiice Wires to the plugsof oneof said shells, and means on the plugs of the other shell for independently securing the ends of tWo sets of outgoing Wires, one of said sets' of out-goingWires connecting with the inner ends of said plugs and the other set connecting to the outer dependent means for securing thereto a ondary set of outgoing Wire 5. A device of the class described having asuitable base, and consisting of two spaced vertical shells resting on said base, a series of insulated oonnectingwplugs in each shell, said plugs having means for securing thereto fuses, means for securing office Wires to the plugs of one of said shells, means for se curing a primary set of outgoing wires to the inner ends of the plugs in the other shell, said second mentioned shell plugs also havingv independent means for securing thereto a secondary set of outgoing Wires, said ofiice Wires and sets ofoutgoing Wires extending down through said base in independent and distinct groups, respectively.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
' THOMAS W. TURNER.
