Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to wall telephone sets and the principal objects of the invention are to design an improved wall telephone set having a pleasing appearance, one that is simple in construction, and in which the various parts are easy to assemble and readily accessible 'for replacement or repair.
  • a further object is to arrange the various parts of the telephone set on the base plate so as to utilize the least possible space to the best advantage. Another object is to mount all the pieces of apparatus on the base plate and none on the cover thereby rendering all parts accessible at one time when the cover is removed from the base.
  • a particular feature of the invention concerns the mounting arrangement of the switching contacts and the operating member for controlling them.
  • a further feature is directed to a common mounting bracket for supporting the ringer apparatus, terminal block. the switching contacts and their operating member.
  • An additional feature concerns the cover forthe telephone set which is arranged to support the handset on a projecting portion below the calling device and in which the sound openings for the ringer are formed in the bottom of the projecting portion.
  • Another feature concerns the manner in which the calling device is supported so as to protrude through an opening in the cover directly above the induction coil.
  • a cord holder for the telephone cord presents a number of advantages over previous types of holders.
  • the oblong base 2 and the cover 3 are each moulded into the shape disclosed from some well known plastic substance or phenolic condensation product. This material lends itself well to the many irregular shapes desired, it presents excellent insulating properties and is structurally strong enough to support the apparatus mounted directly on it.
  • the cover 3 has a shelf portion 4 formed on its lower end for the accommodation of the handset 5, while an opening at the upper end'of the cover permits the calling device II] to protrude through the cover.
  • a pair of extensions 88 on the shelf 4 holds the handset 5 in correct position so as to act on the operating member or button H.
  • the extensions 8-8 have outwardly curved surfaces 99 upon which the handset rests so that the handset upon being taken into use may be lifted oil the shelf 4 with a forward movement instead of an upward vertical movement in which case the fingers of the person grasping the handset would come into contact with the calling device In.
  • the bottom side of shelf 4 is provided with a plurality of parallel spaced slots l2 covered with a piece of insect proof cloth l3 (Fig. 2) to provide sound openings for the ringer gongs.
  • the cover 3 is held in place on the base by means of the pair of long screws 6 and by means of bushing 1 around the operating plunger II.
  • a number of terminals I 5 are arranged for the connection of the line wires I! which enter the telephone set through the hole I6 (Fig. 2).
  • the induction coil I8 is supported in a horizontal position on the base by means of screws Ill.
  • the spool heads of this coil are made of insulating material and carry a plurality of terminals 20 for the cross-connection of a number of the internal wires of the telephone.
  • is fastened to the base by means of screws and 26 engaging a pair of extensions of the bracket.
  • has a pair of U-shaped extensions 22 having holes therein engaged by the pair of lugs 23 on the well known type of calling device ID for supporting the same.
  • the screws 24 in the extension 22 engage the lugs 23 and 50 securely hold the calling device ill on the bracket. Referring to Fig. 2 it is seen that the calling device protrudes through an opening in the cover 3 andtherefore is not disturbed when the cover is removed.
  • the wiring connections between the 55 calling device and other pieces of apparatus can be permanently made, but in order to render the terminals 25 on the induction coil spool heads more readily accessible, the calling device may be removed from bracket 2I by merely loosening up screws 24. It is noted that the calling device If) occupies a space immediately above the induction coil I8 and between the spool heads, thereby conserving the amount of space required.
  • bracket 29 Centrally located on the base is the ringer assembly including the ringer coils 21 which by means of screws 28 is securely attached to an irregular shaped bracket 29.
  • bracket 29 At its lower end bracket 29 has a pair of extensions which secure it to the base by means of screws 30.
  • the permanent magnet 32 for the ringer is fastened to bracket 29 by means of a strap 3
  • an insulating block 34 is attached by means of screws 35 (Fig. 4). This block 34 carries a number of terminals 36.
  • the switching mechanism mounted on the end of bracket 29 will be described hereinafter. Small holes on the bracket 29 provide means for tying the conductors extending between the pieces of apparatus.
  • the pair of ringer gongs 31 and 38 are mounted by means of posts 39 and screws 40 which engage the gongs eccentrically so that they can be set correctly to be actuated by the clapper 4
  • a pair of condensers 50 and I are supported on opposite sides of the base and on each side of the ringer mechanism by means of clips 52 and 53 which are secured to the base.
  • the switching mechanism of the telephone is mounted on the end portion of the bracket 29. It comprises a metal plate 65 secured to bracket 29 by screws 66 at each end. A pair of ears on the plate 65 provide a support for the pivot pin 64 for hinging the lever 63 which is provided with a pair of insulated bushings for actuating the two sets of switching springs 61. A stop 68 is formed out of plate 65 to limit the movement of lever 63.
  • the tension stored in the switching springs holds the lever 63 in its uppermost position when the weight of the handset 5 is removed from the operating button II. This button II which controls the operation of the lever 63 moves inside the bushing I (Fig.
  • bracket 29' serves 'as a support for the ringer, terminal block, switching springs and their operating mechanism
  • bracket 29' serves 'as a support for the ringer, terminal block, switching springs and their operating mechanism
