Definitions

  • the attachment to which the present invention relates is used as a base for the telephone apparatus and contains a memo-pad that can be pulled out like a drawer.
  • the tablet to which the pad is aixed is best provided with stops to limit the extent of its movement when pulled out or pushed in.
  • Fig. 1 being a cross section of the device
  • Fig. 2 a longitudinal section with drawer closed
  • Fig, 3 a longitudinal section with drawer partially closed
  • Fig. 4 a longitudinal section with drawer open
  • Fig. 5 a lateral view with drawer open
  • Fig. 6 a top View of the frame of the base
  • Fig. '7 a top view of the tablet with pad attached.
  • the device is designed as a base for a table telephone. It consists of a frame I whose upper and lower edges 2, 3 and corners 2', 3 project inwards. The upper corners 3 are provided with circular cavities 4 in which the feet of telephone T (represented in the drawing by dot-dash lines) are lodged. The under corners 2' have feet in the form of rubber discs 5 to ensure the base a solid stance.
  • the front of the frame is open, to make room for a drawer-tablet 6 to which is attached a pad l. When the tablet is pushed home, its forward portion 9 protrudes and is cut out to form a handle 8.
  • I0 are two plugs afxed to the rear of the tablet and designed to lodge in corresponding holes in memo-pad 1
  • a strip II which, when the drawer is opened, comes in contact with the lower front edge 2 of the frame and keeps the tablet from being pulled right out (see Fig. 4).
  • a wedge-shaped strip I2 is affixed to the front of the tablet, on its under side, when the tablet is pushed home this strip contacts the lower front edge 2 of frame I and limits the movement of the drawer in such a way that a portion of memo-pad l protrudes beyond the frame, forming a reminder (see Figs. 3 and '7).
  • the back of the memo-sheets may be used for publicity and inscriptions of various kinds.
  • I4 is a perforation in the memo-pad, which enables the sheets to be torn off. At least one sheet l' beneath the pad is reserved for permanent annotations, this sheet can be consulted without dirliculty, as it is shorter than the upper sheets, which project over a notch I5 in the tablet. By inserting the point of a pencil in this notch, the sheets of the pad can be lifted (see Fig. 5). So that a pencil is always at hand for taking notes, two parallel ribs I6 are xed to one side of the tablet, forming a groove I'I in which a pencil I8 may be placed (see Fig. 1). On the pencil is an advertisement-not shown in the drawingwhich might well be a taxi call-number.
  • Frame I and tablet E may be made of metal, plastic, wood, cardboard, Celluloid, etc. To ax advertisements to the outside of the base, it is advantageous to make use of small interchangeable plates I9.
  • the base fits and matches the casing T of the telephone apparatus with which it forms a coherent unit. Not only the design of the base, but also its colour harmonizes with that of the telephone. As the feet of the telephone t into cavities 4, apparatus and base are held rmly together and there is no danger of the telephone slipping off the base. They may, however, be separated by simply lifting the telephone. To render the bottom of the telephone easily accessible, it is undesirable to fasten it to the base.
  • the tablet should be grasped by handle 9 and pulled out.
  • strip I2 overcomes without diculty the slight resistance offered by edge 2.
  • the limiting strip II allows the drawer to open quite enough for taking notes, As a rule the tablet will be pushed home only until strip I2 contacts the front edge of the frame, so that the publicity portion I3 of the pad remains exposed over frame I. If it is desired to close the drawer completely, the tablet should be slightly raised while being pushed home to surmount the obstacle presented by edge 2 of frame I. Strip l2 then serves to keep the drawer closed by pressing against the inner edge 2 of frame I.
