(No Model.) 1 W. N. MARCUS. I
RECEIVING TELEPHONE SUPPORT.
No. 450,359. Patented Apr. 14,1891.
UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFICE.
\VILLIAM N. MARCUS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
RECEIVING-TELEPHONE SUPPORT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N04 450,359, dated April 14, 1891.
Application filed February 10, 1891. Serial No. 380,973. (No model.) i
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM N. MARCUS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Receiving-Telephone Supports, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in supports for the receiver of a telephone; and it consists in an adjustable bracket, which bracket may be placed on the wall of the room in which the telephone is placed, and the object of said invention is to dispense with the necessity of holding the receiver in hand, leaving the hand free for other use, thus avoiding the fatigue of holding the receiver.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a side view of my improved holder. Fig. 2 is a front view. Fig. 3 is a section on the line X, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a top View.
F represents a brace, which is fixed or hung 011 the wall near'the telephone. This brace is dovetailed at O, as shown in section, Fig. 3, and by dotted lines, Figs. 1 and 2.
0 represents a dovetail slide fitted in the brace F and made to freely slide up and down in it. To the slide 0 is connected by hinges a a the strip E, to which the bracket Ais connected by hinges a a. In the top of said bracket is formed a socket B, in which is placed the receiver D. (Shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1.) G is a thumb-screw screwed in the slide 0.
The brace F, slide 0, strip E, and bracket A may be made of hard wood or metal.
To use my improved support the receiver D is placed in the socket B. The bracket is adjusted to a height as suits the ear of the listener and is made fast by the thumb-screw G. 'The bracket A, being double-hinged, allows the bracket to swing to the right or left, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 4, and the operator, after adjusting the receiver D, has the free use of his hands and can listen without the usual fatigue, as when holding the receiver by the hand.
The support may be placed on either side of the telephone, as, may be desired.
Having as above fully described my invention and the best manner of using the same, what I claim as new,-and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a telephone-receiver support, the combination of brace F, dovetail slide 0, adj ustingscrew G, double-hinged strip E, and bracket A, having the socket 13, substantially as described.
