'J'ENNIE HITCHCOCK, or Fiar'nNnLY, wnsr VIRGINIA, ASSIGNOR or ONE-HALF TO OTTO GUY SUTER, OF NEW MATAMORAS, OHIO.
TELEPHONE-RECEIVER HOLDER.
Patented Aug. 23, 1910. Serial No. 528,759.
To all whom it may concern:
- Be it known that I, JENNIE HITOHCOGK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Friendly, in the county of Tyler and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Telephone-Receiver Holders, of which the following is a specification,-reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to a telephone re ceiver holder, and the primary object of my invention is to provide a receiver holder that can be advantageously used in connection with a wall telephone for supporting the receiver thereof in proximity to a persons ear, when using the telephone.
Another object of this invention is to provide a receiver holder that can be attached to a telephone receiver to permit of the receiver being removed from the switch-arm and correctly positioned relative to the transmitter, whereby a person can receive and transmit a message and have use of both hands, for instance, for holding a pad and writing the transmitted message thereon.
A further object of this invention is to accomplish the above results by a holder of a simple construction having novel means for holding the adjustable parts in their shifted position.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a holder of the above type that will be durable, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to adjust and highly efficient for the purposes for which it is used. These and such other objects as may herelnafter appear are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.
In the drawings :Figure 1 is a side elevation of the receiver holder as applied to a wall telephone, showing the receiver in an inactive position. Fig. 2 is a similar view, showing the receiver in an adjusted or active position. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sec tional view of a detached holder partly broken away. Fig. 4 is a vertical cross sectional view of a portion of the holder. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of a portion of a modified form of holder, and Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view taken on the line aa-a: of Fig. 3,
In the accompanying drawings the reference numeral 1 denotes a wall provided with a baseboard 2 supporting a transmitter 3 and a battery box 4, this box being provided with the ordinary switch-arm 5 adapted to support a receiver 6.
The wall 1 above the baseboard 2 is provided with a bracket, comprising a plate adapted to be suitably secured to the wall by screws or other fastening means (not shown). The plate 7 is provided with a central outwardly extending stem 8 having a reduced end 9 provided near its outer end with a circumferentially arranged groove 10. Revolubly mounted upon the reduced end 9 of the stem 8 is a sleeve 11 having a bifurcated end 12. The sleeve 11 is retained in engagement with the stem 8 by screws or pins 13 mounted in said sleeve and extending into the groove 10.
Adjustably mounted in the bifurcated end of the sleeve 11 is the enlarged end 14 of a tubular arm 15, said arm being held through the medium of a bolt 16 and a nut 17, these two elements being fixed relative to the sleeve 11 whereby the tubular arm 15 will be held in adjusted position by the inner sides of the bifurcated end 12 of the sleeve binding against the enlarged end 14 of the arm 15. The tubular arm 15 for a portion of its length is flattened, as at 18, and slidably mounted in said arm is a rod 19 having a flattened surface 20 adapted to confront the flattened portion of the arm 15. The outer end of the rod 19 is provided with a circular head 21 and with parallel lugs 22. The head 21 is adapted to receive the small end 23 of the receiver 6, and the lugs 22 are pivotally connected to the receiver 6 by screws 24 or other fastening means.
With the receiver 6 upon the switch-arm or hook 5 it is an easy matter to raise the receiver 6 and release the arm or hook 5 whereby the proper electrical connection will be made in the battery box 4 for receiving and transmitting a message. The arm 15 can then be swung upwardly, the rod 19 pulled outwardly and partially rotated, whereby the rod 19 will be locked in its adjusted position. This is accomplished through the medium of the flat surfaces 18 and 20 and by moving one flat surface out of engagement with the other the rod 19 is frictionally held within the arm 15. The receiver 6 can then be swung at right angles to the head 21 to correctly position the receiver relative to a persons ear receiving or transmitting a message by the telephone.
In Fig. 5 of the drawings I have illustrated a slight modification of the invention, constituting means for holding the rod 19 relative to the arm 15. The arm 15 is provided with a slot and fixed to the outer side of said arm at one end of the slot is a spring 26 adapted to extend through the slot and engage the fiat surface 27 of the rod 19. The spring 26 is adapted to frictionally hold the rod 19 in its adjusted position.
The receiver holder in its entirety is made of light and durable metal finished to con form to the metallic elements of the tele phone.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new is z- A. telephone receiver holder comprising a plate having a stem formed with a reduced portion provided with a groove, a sleeve rotatably mounted upon said portion and having a bifurcated end, means carried by the sleeve and engaging in the groove, for rotatably-connecting the sleeve to the stem, a tubular arm having one end enlarged eX- tending in the bifurcated end of the sleeve and further provided with flattened portions, means for pivotally connecting the said enlarged end of the stem to the bifurcated end of the sleeve, a longitudinally shiftable cylindrical rod extending in said arm and having a flattened portion capable of being shifted upon its aXis whereby it will frictionally engage the flattened portions of the arm to prevent longitudinal movement thereof, and a head projecting from the rod and having a pair of apertured lugs for supporting a receiver.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
J ENNIE HITGHCOCK.
