ANTISEF-TIC PROTECTOR FOR TELEPHONE-MOUTHPIECES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters `Patent No. 716,329, dated December 16, 1902. Application filed February 13, 1902.V Serial No. 93,848. (N model-l Tof/LZZ whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, ROBERT I. WILLMAETH, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Antiseptic Protectors for Telephone-Mouthpieces, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in antiseptic protectors for telephone-mouthpieces, the object of my invention being to provide a device which will protect persons using the telephone from communication of disease by germs lodging on the mouthpiece thereof from others using the same.'
The object of my .invention is to provide a device of this character which shall be simple and cheap in construction, which can be readily attached to and removedV from a "mouthpiece, which `Wi1lnotrinterfere with the section of the same, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged side view of the neck.
Referring to the drawings, l represents a telephone-mouthpiece having a screw-threaded neck 2, by which it is attached to the holder for the transmitter. Such mouthpieces have formed in said neck notches, as shown at 3, said notches being required for the operation of turning the mouthpiece in the lathe. These notches I utilize in constructing my invention.
Ll represents a disk of absorbent paper saturated with a suitable disinfectant, as formaldehyde, and perforated, as shown at 5, to permit the sound-vibrations of the air to pass therethrough. Said disk is inserted in the entrance of the mouthpiece and is held in' place by means of a thin wire 6, passed through two of said perforations, the ends of said wire being bent around the neck 2 and laid in the notches 3, as shown at 7. The advantages of this construction are that the disk leaves substantially no part of the mouthpiece Vopen to lodgment of disease germs and unprotected by the disinfectant, the device is simple and cheap, and it is not liable to be displaced by the user grasping the end of the mouthpiece with his hand in drawing it forward for use.
I do not restrict my invention to the precise manner herein described of holding the disk in place.
I claim- In combination with a telephone-mouthpiece, a disk of absorbent material across the front entrance of the mouthpiece, saturated with a disinfectant, and perforated, and a wire passed through a perforation extending to the rear end of the mouthpiece and iixedly secured at said rear end to hold said disk from forward movement, substantially as described.
In witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing wit- DGSSQS.
