- A- KORNSWEET TELEPHONE ATTACHMENT Filed June 16 the base 16 and an upper adjustable section 27 slidably engaging the section 26, the two sections being in telescopic relation.
- any suitable means may be employed and, in this instance, for this purpose a set screw 28 is mounted in the section 26 and releasably engages the section 27.
- the section 27 is of angular construct-ion, the upper portion thereof forming a' horizontal arm 29 which has an internally threaded port 30 at its rear end to receive either a screw threaded plug 31, as in Fig. 2, or the screw threaded coupling 32 on one end of a flexible extension tube 33, as in Figs. 1 and (3.

Description
May 11 1926.
, 5. A- KORNSWEET TELEPHONE ATTACHMENT Filed June 16 the base 16 and an upper adjustable section 27 slidably engaging the section 26, the two sections being in telescopic relation. To hold the section 27 in adjusted position any suitable means may be employed and, in this instance, for this purpose a set screw 28 is mounted in the section 26 and releasably engages the section 27. The section 27 is of angular construct-ion, the upper portion thereof forming a' horizontal arm 29 which has an internally threaded port 30 at its rear end to receive either a screw threaded plug 31, as in Fig. 2, or the screw threaded coupling 32 on one end of a flexible extension tube 33, as in Figs. 1 and (3.
The other end of the tube 33 is provided with an ear piece at which may be held in place on the head by a spring clamping member 85 of a construction commonly employed for holding a telephone receiver against the ear. The forward end of the arm 29 is provided with the receiver 14, previously mentioned.
The invention operates as follows:
Let it be assumed that the receiver 11 is suspended from the switch hook 12 as in Fig. 1. As is readily understood, this is the position of the receiver when the telephone is not in use. In this position of the receiver 11, the auxiliary earpiece 14 and the connection means 15 are supported by the receiver 11. To use the telephone the receiver 11 will be removed from the switch hook 12, as is customary, and the-base 16 will be seated on the desk or table that supports the telephone instrument. The person telephoning will position himself so that his car will be adjacent to the earpiece let with the telephone transmitter opposite to his mouth. This will enable him to hold conversation over the telephone without the necessity of holding the receiver 11 to his ear.
If the person telephoning desires to have recorded the words of the party speaking to him, he will call his secretary or stenographer who will clamp the ear piece 3 1 to her ear, thus enabling her to hear the words issuing from the receiver 11. The secretary or stenographer will thus be enabled to employ her hands in operating a typewriter, while listening in on the telephone and at the same time the person telephoning will be enabled to hear all that is said and reply, when necessary, to the party at the other end of the line.
lVhen it is not desired to employ the ear piece 34, the coupling 32 will be disconnected from the arm 29 and the plug 81 will be substituted therefor, as in Fig. 2. The earpiece 14.- will be adjusted to a convenient height by loosening the set screw 28 and sliding the section 27 in or out and then tightening said screw.
From the foregoing it will be clear that the attachment can be connected with an 01- dinary desk telephone set without the exercise of any great degree of skill, since all that is necessary is to detach the plate 19, insert the receiver 11 in the recess and then attach said plate 19 so as to hold the receiver in place in the base 16.
I claim:
1. A telephone attachmentcomprising a base having a fiat bottom adapted to rest on a supporting surface, the base having a recess in its upper face and having a duct communicating with said recess, a tubular standard secured at its lower end to the base and communicating with the duct, an earpiece on the upper end of the standard communicating with the bore of the standard, and means to clamp the cap of a standard telephone receiver in the recess so as to support such standard receiver in vertical position on the base.
2. A telephone attachment comprising a base having a flat bottom adapted to rest on a supporting surface, the base having a recess in its upper face and having a duct communicating with said recess, a tubular standard secured at its lower end to the base and communicating with the duct, the upper portion of the standard forming a horizontal arm, and an earpiece secured to the horizontal arm and communicating with the bore thereof.
3. A telephone attachment comprising a base having a flat bottom adapted to rest on a supporting surface, the base having a recess in its upper face and having a duct communicating with said recess, a tubular standard secured at its lower end to the base and communicating with the duct, the upper portion of the standard forming a horizontal arm, an earpiece secured to one end of the horizontal arm and communicating with the bore thereof, a flexible tube coupled at one end to the other end of the horizontal arm and communicating with the bore thereof,
and an earpiece on the other end of the flexible tube.
1. A telephone attachment comprising a base having a recess to accommodate the cap of a standard telephone receiver, a circular sectional plate surrounding the receiver and secured to the base and projecting over the margin of the recess to hold the cap in the recess, the base having a ductcommunicating wit-h the recess, a tubular standard secured at its lower end to the base and communicating with the duct, and an earpiece secured to the upper end of the standard and communicating with the bore thereof.
5. The combination with a desk telephone, of a base secured to the telephone receiver and provided with a duct communicating with the mouth of said receiver, the base provided with a flat bottom adapted toirest n a pp g rf ce hen the receiver is off of the switch hook of the telephone, said base being entirely supported by the receiver When the receiver is in place on the switch'hook, a tubular standard secured at its lower end to the base and communicating with the duct and projecting above the level of the switch hook when the base is supported by the receiver on said hook, and an earpiece secured to the upper end ofthe standard and communicating with the bore 10 thereof.
