H. S. J ANES. ATTACHMENT FOR TELEPHONE SWITGHBOARDS.
APPLICATION FILED NOV. 26, 1906.
Patented Mar. 30, I909 lowing is a specification.
UNITED STATIESPATENT OFFICE.
HARRY S. JANES, OF HANNIBAL, MISSOURI.
ATTACHMENT FOR TELEPHONE-SWITCHBOARDS.
T 0 all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY S. JANES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hannibal, in the county of Marion and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Telepho'ne-Switchboards, of which the fol- The object of the invention is to provide an interchangeable device of novel and peculiar construction adapted to be used in connection with a switch-board jack, plug, socket or other similar means for holding it for purposes of showing various information to a switch-board attendant or operator.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an indicating attachment for switchoards, comprising certain combination of parts which are capable of expeditious ma-. nipulation according to the rapidly changing conditions of telephone switch-board circuits, numbers or other similar elements.
With these and various other objects, advantages and improved results in view, the invention consists in an interchangeable device adapted to be used in connection with a switch-board for indicating vacant jacks disconnects, take outs, transfers, number changed, out of town, not ring jack out of service, and other essential information relative to operating a telephone switch-board or system, and to prevenl: the operator placing plugs in certain ac s.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this a plication, Figure 1 is a front view of a telep lone switchboard showing the a plication of the invention. Fig. 2 is an e evation of the device in blank form, the dotted lines showing where the form is to be bent. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the deviceready for use. Figs. 4 and 5 are rear elevations of modifications.
The same reference numerals denote the same parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
The switch-board 1, is of ordinary construction having the usual sockets, plug or jack holes 2.. The holder 3, for an indicating card slate-or slip of paper 4, is cut or stamped from metal or other suitable material in one piece, it has side flanges 5 turned on the dotted line A, and a bottom flange 6, turned Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed November 26, 1906.

Serial No. 345,194.
on the dotted line B. T heseflanges hold the indicating card or slip in place, which card or slip may be changed or replaced as desired without removing or operating the holder.
The holder has two wings 7, formed by slitting the blank horizontally through the side edges inwardly and then slitting it at an angle to the horizontal slits toward the center of the blank, then each wing is bent to form a semi-circle in cross section so that the pair of wings constitute an insertion stem 8, with bottom and top slots or openings 9 and 10, respectively between the wings. The slots or openings 9 and 10, permit a spring action of the stem in placing and removing it with respect to a switch-board or other device in connection with which the holder may be used. holder the wings have simply to be sprung together sufiicient to insert them in a jack or plug hole of a board.
Referring to the modification shown in Fig. 4, the stem-wings 11, are struck through the bottom and top of the plate 12, and project from its rear face.
' In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the stem is formed by a series of wings 13, out or stamped out of the plate 14.
The simplicity in construction and utility of these various holders is apparent, and while I have shown several variations in the construction, the same may be further varied and the size sha e and material may be changed without eparting from the spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
The combination, with an indicator board having holes, of a card holding device cornprising a plate having card-holding flanges on one side thereof, and a s ring stem composed of a plurality of flexib e prongs cut out of the plate and projecting perpendicular therefrom on the opposite side of the plate and adapted to fit the said holes.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HARRY S. JANES. Witnesses:
