TELEPHONE HOLDER Filed Nov. 13, 1955 ATTORNEYS Patented Feb. 23, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to holders for telephones of the French type wherein the receiver and transmitter comprise a single unit removable from the stand when desiring to use the telephone and has for the primary object the provision of a device of this character which may be readily adjusted to support the receiver and transmitter unit in position for use by a person so as to leave the hands of the person free to be employed for any purpose and also eliminates the tiresome burden of holding or supporting the unit during the use of the telephone.
With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which 0 Figure 1 is a front elevation, partly in section,
showing a telephone equipped with a holder constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevation showing the holder adapted to a telephone and illustrating in dotted 5 lines the receiver and transmitter unit supported for use by the holder.
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view showing the securing of the holder to the telephone.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary side elevation showing one of the joints of the holder.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 4.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral I indicates a, telephone including a base or stand 2 5 and a combined transmitter and receiver unit 3 supported by the stand during non-use of the telephone and removable therefrom when using the telephone. A telephone of this character requires the use of one of the hands of a person in order 0 to support the unit 3 at a proper position to hear or speak into the telephone and to obviate the person holding or supporting the unit 3 a holder 4 is adapted to the stand and to the unit 3 and consists of an attaching strip 5 secured to the under face of the base of the stand 2 by a pivot fastener 6 and has secured to its ends adjustable arms I connected at their free ends by a bar 8 carrying a clamp 9 to engage and grip the unit 3. Each arm 1 includes a plurality of sections I0 pivoted to one another, as shown at I I, whereby the arm may be extended or collapsed. Each section is equipped with projections l 2 to move into and out of sockets I3 of the adjacent section whereby the sections will maintain adjusted positions relative to one another. One of the arms carries eyelets M through which the cable I5 of the unit 3 may be trained.
A telephone equipped with my invention may have the unit 3 thereof removed from the stand and positioned adjacent to a persons mouth and. ear and supported in this position by the arms I leaving the hands of the person free for any purpose.
A device of the character described may be readily adapted to the telephone without alterations to the latter.
Having described the invention, I claim:
A device for pivotally supporting a telephone of the French type, comprising a member to which the base of the telephone is centrally pivoted and which member has its ends extending beyond said base, arms having one of their ends pivoted to the ends of the member, each of said arms comprising a plurality of pivotally associated links provided at their said pivoted ends respectively with annularly arranged projections and sockets around the pivots and which are influenced into interengagement by the said pivots, a bar pivoted to the outer links, and a substantially C shaped clamp frictionally engaging the bar and for removably clamping the bar to the removable receiving element of the telephone.
