ATTACHMENT FOR TELEPHONES.
Application filed October 10, 1922. Serial No. 593,516.
Ihis invention relates to attachments for telephones and one oi the primary objects of my invention is to provide a convenience for the user, especially useful under circumstances requiring the use of the right hand. or when the telephone must be held when in use.
Another object is to provide an attachment oi the character described which can he applied to existing telephones.
The foregoing, together with such other objects as may hereinafter appear, or are incident to my invention, I obtain by means of a construction, the preferred embodiments of which I have illustrated in the accomuuiyiiip drawing, wherein:
Flog. l is an elevation oi the usual form o'l' telephone stand, transn'iitter and receiver, in connection with which my invention is most useful; and Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view illustrating details of my improvements.
Referring; now to Fig. 1 the reference numeral '7 indicates the stand having the usual base 8 and provided at the top with the transmission mechanism 9 and the receiver hook it), the receiver being indicated at 11.
.l-is is wcll understood. the hook 1O oper- ;-i a switch located within the stand 7 for king and breal'iing connection with pan tcetchange the weight oi the receiver ll being sufficient to hold the switch in open position as long as the receiver is carried by the hook.
The hook ll) as is also custon'iary. has eves i2 in its forks.
l attach a knob A to the eye oi? that tor-k oi the receiver hook which in service is nearest the user. This knob is provided with an annular lip or flange 13 ot greater diameter than that of the opening in the eve and has a reduced end portion 1% depted to fit neatly within such opening". 'llhc central portion of the base or the knob is recessed as at 15 to receive the shank 16 of an attaching button a, the head of the attaching button having a diameter greater than the opening of the eye 12. The button and knob are clamped about the ye by means of the screw 17, which securely holds the parts in place.
The device is used as follows: The receiver is taken otl the hook and grasped between the thumb and first linger in the usual. manner and the small linger of the left hand is crooked around the knob A and the telephone is held suspended. l Vith the receiver placed to the ear and the knob grasped in this manner the transmitter is automatically brought adjacent the mouth in position for use. The weight of the stand causes the hook to remain in circuit-closing position (tor the reason that the point of support is to one side of the pivot point of the hook and. therefore, to one side of the center of gravity).
The device is very useful where the telephone is located in such manner that the stand must be lifted when the telephone is in use and it, of course, releases the other hand for any purpose that may be necessary. The device can he applied to any standard telephone.
hat I claim is:
l. The combination with a telephone having a stand and a forked telephone rece" hook, oi telephone suspension means cc prising a member secured to said hook. adapted to be grasped by the receiver holelug;- hand and lying outside oi: the opei'iiug; between the forks to permit insertion and removal oi the receiver in the usual manna-nu The con'ibination with a telephone having; a stand and a torked telephone receiver hook, oi telephone suspension. means cons prising a knob secured to one of the forks of the hook and lying outside of the opening); between the forks to permit insertion. and reu'ioval of the receiver in the usual nninuer.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.
GUY S. LANE.
