V A TELEPHONE STAND. No. 250,498. Patented Deo. 6,1881.
ffy. e, W44 E UNITED STATES PATENT OEErcEA CHARLES A. OHEEVER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
TELEPHONE-STAND.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,498, dated December 6, 1881,
Application filed January 8, 1881.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES A. GHEEVER, a citizen of the United States, residingin the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Telephone-Supports, of which the following is a specification.
Myinvention relates to an adj ustable holder, stand, or support for eitherl a transmitting or receiving telephone. Its objects are to prevent fatigue .of the operator by supportin g the telephone mechanically in a convenient and comfortable position, to hold it securely in its support, to enable this position to be varied at pleasure either in a vertical or horizontal plane or in an angular relation to its support, and to enable the operator readily to remove the telephone from its support or to replaceit therein.
My invention consists in a novel organization of old instrumentalities, comprisinga base, standard, or support, which may either be made movable or be secured 1n any desired position, a holder for the telephone, mechanism connecting said holder with its support in such manner as to permit of its being adjusted and held in any desired position as to horizontal detlection or angular inclination relatively to the horizon, and a spring-clamp for securing the telephone in its holder, while permitting it readily to be removed or replaced.
The accompanying drawings represent a practically eicient organization ot'instrumentalities for carrying out the objects ot' my invention. The details of construction ot' the apparatus,l1owever, may be varied in various wellknown ways without depart-ing from the spirit of my invention.
In the accompanying drawings,Figure l represents a view in elevation of my improved telephone-support; Fig. 2, a vertical central section through a portion thereof on the line 2 2 of Fig. l.
An ordinary Bell hand-telephone is shown as mounted on a portable stand or support, consisting of a base, A, resting on suitable (No model.)
legs, a. A pin, B, is inserted in the base. A tubular standard, C, tits over this pin, on which it is capable of sliding longitudinally as well as rotating, being held at any desired height and in any desired angular position by the springing apart of the upper end of the pin B, which is slit for this purpose. A socket, c, in the base A receives the lower end of the standard O, which is rounded to tit itso as to be firmly supported by the base when resting upon it.
A trough-shaped socket, holder, or support, H, is shown as provided with alug, h, rocking vertically in a slot in the standard C on apivotpin, p, provided with jam-nuts P, which serve to clamp the holder in any desired position or angularrelationtothestandard. Atelephone, T, is secured in this socket or holder by means ofspring-clamp 7L,of well-known construction, which embraces the handle ot' the telephone when placed in the holder.
By this mode ot' construction the telephone can be securely held, be raised or lowered relatively to the base, be turned horizontally, and be tipped on the axis ot' the clamping or holding device to the desired inclination, and fastened in that-position, thus affording all the necessary adjustments, and can also be readily removed from or replaced inv the holder.
I do not broadly claim herein a telephonesupport vertically or horizontally adjustable relatively to its base.
I claim as of my own invention- The combination, substantially as herein set forth, of the standard, the holder pivoted thereon, mechanism to secure the two in any desired position relatively to each other, and the spring-clamps on the holder to hold the telephone securely and yet permit it readily to be removed or replaced.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
