ATTORNE LII Patented Dec. 16, 1930 osrAT s PATIENT oFFic Y ARTHUR n. HETZNER, OF EAST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR To GRAYBAR ELEC- 'TRIC COMPANY, me, on NEW YORK, 1v. Y., A GQRPORATIONOF NEW YORK MULTIPLE PUSH-BUTTQN UNIT Application filed. April 17,
This invention relates to j equipment for 7 use in telephone systems and more particu-,
larly to a push button unit fOruse in an interconnecting system.
' The present invention'has for its purpose the provision of a Inultiplepushbutton unit whichmay be mounted in the dial opening of a standard telephone. A. further purpose of the invention is the provision of such athe center of the unit; and Fig. 3 is a similar enlarged section of a fragment of the unit showing one of the buttons in operated position; while Fig. 4 shows the parts of the unit in position ready for assembling.
Although the inventionmay be used with any type of telephone having an opening in its casing, it is particularly adapted for use in a desk telephone such as shown in Fig. 1 having a base 5 with an opening therein and with an offset column 6 which may carry a transmitter or a cradle for supporting a combined microphone and receiver. The present multiple button unit is shown in Fig. 1 mounted in the opening in the base 5 which is normally provided to receive an impulse transmitter or dial used in an automatic telephone system.
This unit, as best shown in Figs. 2,3 and U 4, comprises a circular mounting plate 8 having a plurality of openings 9 to receive 1 push buttons 10. On the under side of the mounting plate 9 but spaced therefrom by a metal washer 13 there is supported a multiple spring contactor 11 having integral U mounted therein; Fig. 2' is a section through 1929. Serial no. 355,869.
