Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for supporting a telephonic handset, allowing the user to keep said handset resting on his shoulder, while retaining the freedom of both hands.
• the subject of the invention is the production of a telephone handset support device, simple, light and compact, for professional or non-professional use.
• the device according to the invention aims to be adaptable to all telephone handsets -of current model, to present a reduced footprint, to allow easy handling of the handset which it equips and not to hinder the establishment of this handset on its base cradle.
• the device according to the invention must be able to be rr.is in s vice by the hand which holds the handset, without it being ' necessary to interrupt the conversation engaged.
• the telephone handset support device comprising an elongated base provided with means for fixing to the handset, is characterized in that it comprises, articulated at the two ends of this base, two movable arms each between a position folding in which the arm concerned is folded against said base, and a service position in which each arm makes with the longitudinal tax of the base a substantially right angle, said arms being for this purpose articulated around two pivots which are integral with the base and which form a substantially right angle between them, the arm whose pivot is close to the microphone forming a support crutch against the user's chest while the arm whose pivot is close to the earpiece ends with a butt stock on the neck of the user, elastic means tending to recall each of the arms from the folding position to the service position and means of ve rolling, releasable by pressio keeping the arms in the folded position.
• the movable arms are released and come to take hold, under the effect of the rapping means their service position.
• the handset can be then brought into engagement by using position of the stick behind the neck of the USER and support of the leg on the chest of the latter.
• Figure 1 is an overview of the selected embodiment of the device according to the invention, in the folded position, and in place s a telephone handset.
• Figures 2 and 3 are two views of the device of Figure 1, in the service position, the plane of the figure considered being that formed by the axis of the base and, respectively, the arm forming a crutch, and the arm forming a stick .
• Figures 4 and 5 are two partial views, on a larger scale, of the device according to the invention, respectively according to arrow IV and salt line V-V.
• Figure 6 illustrates the mode of use of a telephone handset equipped with the device according to the invention placed in the service position.
• Figure 7 is a section along the line VII-VII of Figure 1.
• Figure 8 is a section along the line VIII-VIII of Figure 1.
• 5 Figure 9 is a view along arrow IX of Figure 7.
• Figure 10 is a view along arrow X in Figure 8.
• Figure 11 is a view along arrow XI of Figure 7; and
• Figure 12 is a view along arrow XII of Figure 8.
• the device described and shown comprises a base 1, of al-
• the stock 30 intended to come into contact with the neck of the user has an enlarged section and may have a slightly rough surface for better adhesion. It is the same for the end of arm 2.
• the arm 3 can be provided telescopic in its right part, this characteristic also making it possible to reduce the size of the device in the folded position.
• Each arm 2 and 3 is associated with a return spring tending to the soul-
• this spring being for example a helical spring housed in the corresponding pivot 7, or 12, which comprises for each arm a part 8, integral with the base 1 forming a cage for said spring 5 and a part 18 secured to the corresponding arm.
• the parts 8 and 18 of each pivot are in frictional contact in two separate planes,
• an elastic clamp 16 is fixed on the base 1 and receives the arm 2, which has a suitable notch.
• This same arm 2 also has a hook 14 which, in the folded position, receives and retains the arm 3.
• the clamp 16 retains the arm 2 and, through the latter, the arm 3. The opening of these pliers cause the two arms to open simultaneously.
• the device according to the invention is made of any suitable material, for example ZAMAC, or PVC, or NYLON and according to any suitable technique, by molding for example.
