TELEPHONE-RECEIVER HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 729,267, dated May 26, 1903.
I I V 4 I Application filed $eptember 6, 1902. Serial No. 122,285. (No model.) i
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that. I, ARTHUR J. BRIGGS, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Telephone-Receiver Holders, of whichthe following is a specification, reference beinghad therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in telephone-receiver holders, and has for its object to construct a holder of this type which is adjustable to any desired position.
Further, the invention contemplates the provision of novel means whereby the holder can be readily attached to the stand of the ordinary portable telephone or adapted for use in connection with stationary telephones; further, to provide means for supportingthe receiver on the outer end of the horizontal arm of the holder at all times and to provide means for normally maintaining an open circuit. I I
Further objects and advantages will be herein explained, and defined in the appended claims.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views,in which- Figure l is a view in side elevation of a telephone with my improved holder attached thereto, the outer end of the bracket-arm being removed. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view of the outer end of the bracket-arm, showing the receiver held in position. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view of the vertical arm of the bracket, with the spring catch or stop casing in section. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the telephone-receiver clip, and Fig. 5 is a modified form of bracket-arm support.
In the drawings, 1 indicates an ordinary portable telephone provided with the re ceiver-rest 2. This rest 2 is similar to the ordinary receiver-rest of telephones of this type.
3 indicates the upright arm of the bracket, provided at its lower end with the clip 4 to receive the telephone-stand, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
5 indicates a rearwardly-extending arm formed integral with arm 3 or rigidly affixed thereto, and on one side of the arm 5 is pivoted the arm 6, as at '7. The'forward end of this arm 6 is provided at its lower edge with the cut-out portion 8, in which is received the rest 2 of'the telephone.
The numeral 9 indicates a removable approximately U-sha pe'd casing, secured to the arm 3 of the holder by means of screws 10 or in any suitable manner. The arm 6 extends through this casing and is held in its lowered position by a spring stop or catch 11, provided with the operating-button 12.
13 indicates a horizontal sectional bracketarm, the inner sections 14 of which are socured to each other by vertical pivots 15 and thereby permitting the arm 6, with the telephone-receiver rest 2, to rise. To close the connection, the telephone-arm 2 and arm 6 are pulled downward and arm 6, engaging under the spring-catch 11, is held in position, as shown in Fig. 1.
It will be observed that the part 2, herein referred to as the receiver-rest, does not act as a support or rest for the receiver, as would be the case where the holder was not employed, but that the receiver is supported in the holder and the rest 2 is held down by the arm 6 and spring catch or stop 11 instead of by the telephone-receiver.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a plate 22 provided with the apertured cars 23, between which the inner end of the innermost section 14; is pivoted. This plate is employed in lieu of the upright arm 3 and in connection with telephones which are permanently mounted.
In this construction the plate 22 is suitably attached to the wall, to the telephone-box, or
other desired point, and the section 14 is pivoted in the ears 23. With this form the casing 9 would be attached at a suitable point direct to the telephone-box, and the arm 6 would also be mounted in a position where it will engage the rest 2.
It will be obvious that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination with the stand,receiver, and receiver-rest of a portable telephone, of an upright arm removably secured to said stand, supporting means for said arm, an outwardly-extending arm secured to said upright arm, an arm pivoted thereto, the free end thereof having a cut-out portion therein, to receive the receiver-rest, a casing secured to the upright arm, said pivoted arm extending therethrough, and a catch therein for normally holding the pivoted arm in alowered position, substantially as described.
2. In a device of the type set forth, the combination with the telephone, the receiver, and the receiver-rest, of an upright arm detachably secured to the telephone, an outwardlyextending arm secured to said upright arm, a pivoted arm mounted thereon having its free end adapted to retain the receiver-rest, a catch for normally holding said pivoted arm in a lowered position, and a bracket comprising a number of pivoted sections mounted at the upper end of said upright arm, substantially as described.
3. The combination with the telephone,the receiver, and the receiver-rest, of an upright arm, means for supporting the said arm, an outwardly-extending arm secured to the said upright arm, an arm pivoted to the said lastnamed arm, said last-named arm having its free end in engagement with the receiver-rest, a catch for normally holding the said lastnamed arm in a lowered position, and means for supporting the receiver, substantially as described.
4. In combination with an upright provided at its lower end with an integral c1amp,a rearwardly-extending arm carried by said upright, of a sectional bracket pivotally secured to said upright, an arm pivotally secured to the said rearwardly-extending arm of the upright, said last-named arm having its outer end provided with a cut-out portion, a casing secured to the said upright and through which the last-named arm extends, a spring stop or catch secured in the "said casing and adapted to normally engage said pivoted arm, and a button secured to said stop or catch, substantially as described.
5. Ina device of the type set forth, the combination of an upright provided at its upper end with an extension, and a rearwardly-extending arm carried by said bracket intermediateits ends,ofacasing removablysecured to said upright, an arm pivotally secured to the said rearwardly-extending arm of the upright and provided at its upper end with a cut-out portion, a clamp secured to the lower end of said upright, a sectional bracket pivotally secured to the said extension of the upright, a spring stop or catch in the said casing and adapted to normally hold the said pivoted arm in engagement with the receiver-rest, and a button secured to the said stop or catch, substantially as described.
6. The combination with a telephone, the receiver and receiver-rest, of a bracket comprising pivotally-secured sections,an upright arm carrying said bracket, said upright arm detachably secured to the telephone, an outwardly-extending arm thereon, a pivoted arm mounted on said last-named arm, the free end thereof having a cut-out portion adapted to receive the receiver-rest, a casing secured to the upright arm through which said pivoted arm extends, a spring-catch within said casing normally holding the said arm in a lowered position, and means for releasing said catch to permit upward movement of said pivoted arm, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR J. BRIGGS.
