Description

ADAPTATEUR ELECTRONIQUE POUR TELEPHONE PERMETTANT D'EMETTRE UN AVERTISSEMENT D'APPEL COMPLEMENTAIRE, DISTINCT DE LA ELECTRONIC TELEPHONE ADAPTER FOR TRANSMITTING A COMPLEMENTARY CALL WARNING, SEPARATE FROM THE
SONNERIE CLASSIQUECLASSIC RINGER
L'invention est relative à un adaptateur électronique pour téléphone permettant d'émettre un avertissement d'appel complémentaire, distinct de la sonnerie classique provoquée par un signal de sonnerie.The invention relates to an electronic telephone adapter for issuing an additional call warning, distinct from the conventional ringing caused by a ringing signal.
Un tel adaptateur est destiné, en particulier, aux mal¬entendants pour lesquels l'avertissement d'appel complémentaire est généralement produit par un avertisseur lumineux. Les adaptateurs proposés jusqu à ce jour sont d'un emploi rela¬tivement malaisé et restreint, en raison notamment de contraintes tel¬les que la nécessité de placer l'adaptateur ou son détecteur à proxi¬mité immédiate du poste téléphonique. En outre, de tels adaptateurs sont relativement encombrants et coûteux.Such an adapter is intended, in particular, for hearing impaired people for whom the additional call warning is generally produced by a warning light. The adapters proposed to date are relatively difficult and restricted to use, in particular due to constraints such as the need to place the adapter or its detector in the immediate vicinity of the telephone set. In addition, such adapters are relatively bulky and expensive.
L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir un adaptateur élec¬tronique pour téléphone, du genre défini précédeunent, tel qu'il réponde mieux que jusqu'à présent aux diverses exigences de la pra¬tique et, notamment, tel qu'il ne présente plus, ou a un degré moindre, les inconvénients évoqués ci-dessus. The object of the invention is, above all, to provide an electronic telephone adapter of the kind defined above, such that it better meets the various requirements of the practice than hitherto, and in particular such that it no longer has, or to a lesser degree, the drawbacks mentioned above.
Selon l'invention, un adaptateur électroniq0e pour téléphone permettant d'émettre un avertissement d'appel complémentaire, distinct de la sonnerie classique provoquée par un signal de sonnerie, est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend, en combinaison : des moyens de branchement direct sur le cable de téléphone, en amont du raccordement du poste téléphonique, pour capter le signal de sonnerie; des moyens de commande, sensibles au signal de sonnerie capté, propres à déclen¬cher l'avertissement d'appel complémentaire; et des moyens de raccordement permettant de relier le poste téléphonique, en aval des susdits moyens de branchement.According to the invention, an electronic telephone adapter making it possible to issue an additional call warning, distinct from the conventional ringing caused by a ringing signal, is characterized by the fact that it comprises, in combination: connection means direct on the telephone cable, upstream of the telephone set connection, to receive the ring signal; control means, sensitive to the received ringing signal, capable of triggering the additional call warning; and connection means for connecting the telephone set, downstream of the above connection means.
Généralement, la ligne téléphonique se termine, dans le local où se trouve le poste téléphonique, par un conjoncteur femelle; dans ce cas, les moyens de branchement sur le cable de téléphone sont avan¬tageusement formés par une fiche conjoncteur male-femelle, ou analo¬gue, la partie male du conjoncteur constituant les moyens de branchement proprement dits qui sont engagés dans le conjoncteur femelle de la ligne, tandis que la partie femelle de ce conjoncteur male- femelle appartient aux susdits moyens de raccordement, le conjoncteur maie du câble relié au poste téléphonique étant destiné à être engagé dans la partie femelle de ce conjoncteur male-femelle.Generally, the telephone line ends, in the room where the telephone set is located, by a female contactor; in this case, the connection means on the telephone cable are advantageously formed by a male-female contactor plug, or the like, the male part of the contactor constituting the connection means proper which are engaged in the female contactor of the line, while the female part of this male-female contactor belongs to the above connection means, the contactor of the cable connected to the telephone set being intended to be engaged in the female part of this male-female contactor.
De préférence, l'adaptateur comprend des moyens de commutation à au moins deux positions pour l'une desquelles le fonctionnement de la sonnerie classique est supprimé, de telle sorte qu'en cas d'appel, l'avertisseur d'appel complémentaire soit seul à fonctionner, en rem¬placement de la sonnerie.Preferably, the adapter comprises switching means with at least two positions for which one of the functions of the conventional ringing is suppressed, so that in the event of a call, the complementary call alert is alone to operate, by replacing the bell.
Ces moyens de commutation peuvent comprendre au moins trois positions correspondant, pour une première position, au fonctionnement de la sonnerie classique seule en cas d'appel, pour une deuxième posi¬tion, au fonctionnement de l'avertisseur d'appel complémentaire seul on cas d'appel, et pour une troisième position mixte, au fonction¬nement simultané de la sonnerie classique et de l'avertisseur d'appel complémentaire. Ces moyens de commutation sont disposés sur un circuit de liaison électrique, entre les moyens de branchement direct sur le cable de téléphone et les moyens de raccordement, du poste téléphonique, situés en aval des susdits moyens de branchement. Dans le cas où l'adaptateur comporte une fiche conjoncteur male- femelle, comme mentionné précédemment, les moyens de commutation sont montés dans un circuit électrique de liaison, entre la partie male et la partie femelle de cette fiche conjoncteur male-femelle.These switching means may include at least three positions corresponding, for a first position, to the operation of the conventional ringing alone in the event of a call, for a second position, to the operation of the additional call warning device only in the case call, and for a third mixed position, to the simultaneous operation of the conventional ringing and the additional call horn. These switching means are arranged on an electrical connection circuit, between the direct connection means on the telephone cable and the connection means, of the telephone set, located downstream of the above connection means. In the case where the adapter includes a male-female connector plug, as mentioned above, the switching means are mounted in an electrical connection circuit, between the male part and the female part of this male-female connector plug.
L'adaptateur comporte, de préférence, des moyens de connexion à une source de puissance électrique pour l'alimentation de l'avertisseur d'appel complémentaire, ces moyens de connexion étant notamment formés par une fiche de branchement sur une prise secteur, les susdits moyens de commande comprenant des moyens interrupteurs propres a établir ou à couper l'alimentation électrique de l'avertisseur, a partir de cette fiche, en réponse au signal de sonnerie.The adapter preferably comprises means for connection to a source of electrical power for supplying the additional call alarm, these connection means being in particular formed by a plug for connection to a mains socket, the aforementioned control means comprising switch means suitable for establishing or cutting the electrical supply of the alarm, from this plug, in response to the ringing signal.
La susdite fiche de branchement est avantageusement formée par une prise secteur male-femelle, les bornes de la prise maie étant reliées a celles de la prise femelle, par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit de liaison électrique qui peut être ouvert ou fermé par les susdits moyens interrupteurs, en réponse au signal de sonnerie.The aforementioned connection plug is advantageously formed by a male-female mains socket, the terminals of the male socket being connected to those of the female socket, by means of an electrical connection circuit which can be opened or closed by the the above switching means, in response to the ringing signal.
Les moyens de commande, comprenant les moyens interrupteurs, et les moyens de commutation peuvent être disposés dans un boîtier de dimensions réduites, lequel boîtier, d'une part, est relié par un cable de longueur appropriée a la susdite fiche conjoncteur male-femelle et, d'autre part, par un autre cable, de longueur appropriée, à la susdite prise secteur male-femelle.The control means, comprising the switch means, and the switching means can be arranged in a box of reduced dimensions, which box, on the one hand, is connected by a cable of appropriate length to the aforementioned male-female contactor plug and , on the other hand, by another cable, of appropriate length, to the aforesaid male-female mains socket.
L'avertissement d'appel complémentaire peut être obtenu en branchant une lampe sur la partie femelle de la prise secteur, de telle sorte que cette lampe sera amenée à s'allumer et à s'éteindre alternativement, en réponse au signal de sonnerie.The additional call warning can be obtained by plugging a lamp into the female part of the mains socket, so that this lamp will be switched on and off alternately, in response to the ring signal.
Les moyens de commande, sensibles au signal de sonnerie, peu¬vent comprendre un condensateur, disposé en série, pour filtrer la composante continue du signal de sonnerie, un ensemble redresseur pour établir un signal de tension continue à partir du signal alternatif de sonnerie et des moyens interrupteurs, notasment à relais électromagné¬tique ou à semi-conducteurs, propres a. couper ou a établir l'alimenta¬tion électrique de l'avertisseur d'appel complémentaire, lorsqu'une tension continue, correspondant au signal de sonnerie, est présente à la sortie du redresseur.The control means, sensitive to the ringing signal, can comprise a capacitor, arranged in series, for filtering the DC component of the ringing signal, a rectifier assembly for establish a DC voltage signal from the alternating ringing signal and switching means, in particular with electromagnetic relay or semiconductor, specific to a. cut or establish the power supply of the additional call warning, when a DC voltage, corresponding to the ringing signal, is present at the output of the rectifier.
Il est clair que l'avertissement d'appel complémentaire pour¬rait être obtenu à l'aide de tout autre appareil électrique qu'une lampe, dans la mesure où les caractéristiques de cet appareil électri¬que sont en accord avec celles de l'adaptateur.It is clear that the additional call warning could be obtained using any other electrical device than a lamp, insofar as the characteristics of this electrical device are in agreement with those of the adapter.
Eventuellement, le boîtier de l'adaptateur contenant les moyens de commande et les moyens de commutation peut comporter un témoin lumineux attestant du bon fonctionnement de ce boîtier.Optionally, the adapter housing containing the control means and the switching means may include an indicator light attesting to the proper functioning of this housing.
L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci¬dessus, en certaines autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicite¬ment question ci-après, à propos d'un mode de réalisation particulier décrit avec référence au dessin ci-annexé, mais qui n'est nullement limitatif.The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, in certain other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below, with regard to a particular embodiment described with reference to the attached drawing, but which is by no means limiting.
La figure 1, de ce dessin, est un schéma d'un poste téléphoni¬que équipé d'un adaptateur conforme à l'invention.Figure 1 of this drawing is a diagram of a telephony station equipped with an adapter according to the invention.
La figure 2 est un schéma fonctionnel de l'adaptateur.Figure 2 is a block diagram of the adapter.
La figure 3, enfin, est un schéma plus détaillé d'une réalisa¬tion possible des moyens de commande et des moyens interrupteurs de l'adaptateur. En se reportant à la figure 1, on peut voir un adaptateur électronique 1 permettant d'émettre un avertissement d'appel complé¬mentaire, distinct de la sonnerie classique, provoquée par un signal de sonnerie. Selon le schéma de la figure 1, cet avertissement d'appel complémentaire est un avertissement lumineux obtenu à patir d'une lampe de bureau 2 qui, comme expliqué par la suite, pourra s'allumer ou s'éteindre, lorsqu'un signal de sonnerie est capté.FIG. 3, finally, is a more detailed diagram of a possible embodiment of the control means and of the switch means of the adapter. Referring to FIG. 1, one can see an electronic adapter 1 making it possible to issue a complementary call warning, distinct from the conventional ringing, caused by a ringing signal. According to the diagram in FIG. 1, this additional call warning is a light warning obtained from a desk lamp 2 which, as explained below, may turn on or off, when a signal from ringtone is received.
L'adaptateur électronique 1 comprend des moyens de branchement direct 3 sur le cable de téléphone 4 en amont du raccordement 5 du poste téléphonique 6. L'expression "en amont" est à comprendre en considérant un sens d'écoulement des signaux de sonnerie qui va du cable 4 vers le poste 6. L'adaptateur comporte, en outre, des moyens de commande, schématisés en 7 sur la figure 2, et logés dans le boîtier 8 de la figure 1, qui sont sensibles au signal de sonnerie capté a l'aide des moyens de branchement 3; ces moyens de commande 7 sont propres a déclencher l'avertissement d'appel complémentaire. L'adaptateur 1 comprend également des moyens de raccordement 9 permettant de relier le poste téléphonique 6 en aval des susdits moyens de branchement.The electronic adapter 1 comprises direct connection means 3 on the telephone cable 4 upstream of connection 5 of the telephone set 6. The expression "upstream" is to be understood by considering a direction of flow of the ringing signals which goes from cable 4 to station 6. The adapter further comprises control means, shown schematically in 7 in FIG. 2, and housed in the casing 8 of FIG. 1, which are sensitive to the ringing signal picked up using the connection means 3; these control means 7 are suitable for triggering the additional call warning. The adapter 1 also includes connection means 9 making it possible to connect the telephone set 6 downstream of the above connection means.
Généralement, le cable de téléphone se termine, dans le local où se retrouve le poste téléphonique 6, par un conjoncteur femelle 10, notamnent d'un type agréé par les Postes et Télécommunications. Les moyens de branchement 3 sont alors formés par une fiche conjoncteur male-femelle 11, également d'un type agréé par les Postes et Télécommunications ; la partie male de cette fiche 11, partie male qui constitue les moyens de branchement proprement dits, est engagée dans le conjoncteur femelle 10 de la ligne 4; la partie femelle de cette fiche 11 appartient aux susdits moyens de raccordement 9. Le cable 12 du poste téléphonique 6 est équipé, à son extrémité éloignée du poste, d'un conjoncteur male 13 qui est destiné â être engagé dans la partie femelle de la fiche 11. Les termes maie et femelle sont utilisés en correspondance avec les montages pratiqués habituellement; il est clair, toutefois, qu'un montage inverse en remplaçant toutes les par¬ties males par des parties femelles et réciproquemnent serait pos¬sible, bien que d'un usage inhabituel.Generally, the telephone cable ends, in the room where the telephone set 6 is located, by a female contactor 10, in particular of a type approved by the Posts and Telecommunications. The connection means 3 are then formed by a male-female contactor plug 11, also of a type approved by the Post and Telecommunications; the male part of this plug 11, male part which constitutes the connection means proper, is engaged in the female contactor 10 of line 4; the female part of this plug 11 belongs to the aforementioned connection means 9. The cable 12 of the telephone set 6 is equipped, at its end remote from the set, with a male contactor 13 which is intended to be engaged in the female part of the file 11. The terms maie and female are used in correspondence with the usual assemblies; it is clear, however, that a reverse assembly by replacing all the male parts with female parts and vice versa would be possible, although of an unusual use.
L'adaptateur 1 comprend, avantageusement, des moyens de com¬mutation 14 à au moins deux positions pour l'une desquelles le dé¬clenchement de la sonnerie classique du poste téléphonique 6 est sup¬primé, de telle sorte qu'en cas d'appel, l'avertisseur d'appel complémentaire 2 soit seul à fonctionner et remplace la sonnerie. ces moyens de commutation 14 sont, de préférence, formés par un commutateur à trois positions : dans une première position, ce commutateur coupe le circuit d'alimentation de l'avertisseur complémentaire 2, et maintient fermé en permanence le circuit de sonnerie du poste téléphonique 6; en cas d'appel, seule la sonnerie du poste 6 fonctionnera d'une manière par¬faitement classique; dans une deuxième position, le coπβnitateur 14 coupe en perma¬nence le circuit de sonnerie du poste téléphonique 6, de telle sorte qu'en cas d'appel, seul l'avertissement d'appel complémentaire 2 fonctionnera; dans une troisième position, le coαnutateur 14 autorise le fonctionnement simultané de la sonnerie du poste 6 et de l'avertisseur complémentaire 2. Les moyens de commutation ou commutateur 14 sont logés dans le boîtier 8 et dépassent, extérieurement, par un bouton de commande 15.The adapter 1 advantageously comprises means of com¬mutation 14 at at least two positions for one of which the triggering of the conventional ringing of the telephone set 6 is suppressed, so that in the event of 'call, the additional call alert 2 is only functioning and replaces the ringer. these switching means 14 are preferably formed by a three-position switch: in a first position, this switch cuts off the supply circuit of the additional horn 2, and keeps the ringing circuit of the telephone set permanently closed 6; in the event of a call, only the bell of the station 6 will operate in a perfectly conventional manner; in a second position, the coπβnitateur 14 permanently cuts the ringing circuit of the telephone set 6, so that in the event of a call, only the additional call warning 2 will operate; in a third position, the coαnutateur 14 authorizes the simultaneous operation of the ringing of the station 6 and the additional horn 2. The switching means or switch 14 are housed in the housing 8 and protrude externally by a control button 15 .
La partie male de la fiche 11 conjoncteur male-femelle est re¬liée à la partie femelle de cette fiche par un circuit de liaison électrique comprenant le cable 16 à trois conducteurs qui relie la fiche 11 au boîtier 8. Le circuit de liaison autorisant la transmis¬sion du signal de sonnerie depuis la ligne 4 au câble 12 du téléphone passe par ce cable 16 et peut être fermé ou ouvert par le commutateur 14. La longueur du cable 16 est choisie de telle sorte que le boîtier 8 et le commutateur 14 soient facilement accessibles, compte tenu de la position du conjoncteur femelle 10.The male part of the plug 11 male-female contactor is connected to the female part of this plug by an electrical connection circuit comprising the cable 16 with three conductors which connects the plug 11 to the housing 8. The connection circuit authorizing the transmission of the ringing signal from line 4 to the telephone cable 12 passes through this cable 16 and can be closed or opened by the switch 14. The length of the cable 16 is chosen so that the housing 8 and the switch 14 are easily accessible, taking into account the position of the female contactor 10.
Des moyens de connexion 17 à une source de puissance électrique sont prévus pour assurer l'alimentation de l'avertisseur complémen¬taire 2. ces moyens de connexion 17 sont avantageusement formés par une prise secteur male-femelle 18; les bornes de la prise mâle 18, situées à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe isolante 19, sont reliées à cel¬les de la prise femelle par l'intermédaire d'un circuit de liaison électrique, comprenant le cable 20 à deux conducteurs, qui peut être ouvert ou fermé par les susdits moyens de commande 7. Plus précisément, une fiche de la partie male de la prise 18 peut être directement reliée électriquement à une douille de la partie femelle de cette prise 18; l'autre fiche est reliée par l'un des conducteurs du cable 20 au bottier 8, à une borne de moyens interrupteurs sensibles au signal de sonnerie; l'autre borne de ces moyens interrupteurs est reliée par l'autre conducteur du cable 20 à la deuxième douille de la partie femelle de la prise 18. Le cable 21 de la lampe 2 est luimême muni, à son extrémité éloignée de la lampe, d'une fiche 22 destinée à etre introduite dans la partie femelle de la prise 18. La longueur du cable 20 est prévue pour permettre, normalement, de brancher facilement le coté male de la prise 18 dans une prise murale femelle d'un prolongateur male-femelle secteur. Il est clair que tout autre appareil électrique de caractéristiques en accord avec celles de l'adaptateur 1 peut être branché dans la partie femelle de la prise 18. en se reportant à la figure 3, on peut voir un exemple de réalisation des moyens de commande 14 sensibles au signal de sonnerie. Ce signal de sonnerie entre les deux conducteurs 23, 24 du cable 4. Un condensateur 25, appartenant aux moyens de commande 7, est branché en série sur le conducteur 23 pour arrêter la composante continue du signal. La composante alternative obtenue en aval du condensateur 25 est redressée par un ensemble redresseur 26, notamment formé par un pont de diodes. Ainsi, entre les bornes de sortie 27, 28 de l'ensemble redresseur 26, une tension continue apparaît, lorsqu'un signal de son¬nerie est présent sur les conducteurs 23, 24. Cette tension continue, présente entre les bornes 27, 28 est utilisée pour commander des moyens interrupteurs 29 propres à fermer ou ouvrir le circuit d'alimentation de l'avertisseur complémentaire 2.Connection means 17 to a source of electrical power are provided to supply the complementary alarm 2. these connection means 17 are advantageously formed by a male-female mains socket 18; the terminals of the male plug 18, located inside the insulating casing 19, are connected to those of the female plug via an electrical connection circuit, comprising the cable 20 with two conductors, which can be opened or closed by the above control means 7. More specifically, a plug of the male part of the socket 18 can be directly electrically connected to a socket of the female part of this socket 18; the other plug is connected by one of the conductors of the cable 20 to the case 8, to a terminal of switch means sensitive to the ringing signal; the other terminal of these switch means is connected by the other conductor of the cable 20 to the second socket of the female part of the socket 18. The cable 21 of the lamp 2 is itself provided, at its end remote from the lamp, a plug 22 intended to be inserted into the female part of the socket 18. The length of the cable 20 is provided to allow, normally, to easily plug the male side of the socket 18 into a female wall socket of a male extension - female sector. It is clear that any other electrical device with characteristics in agreement with those of the adapter 1 can be plugged into the female part of the socket 18. referring to FIG. 3, an exemplary embodiment of the control means can be seen. 14 sensitive to the ring signal. This ring signal between the two conductors 23, 24 of the cable 4. A capacitor 25, belonging to the control means 7, is connected in series with the conductor 23 to stop the DC component of the signal. The AC component obtained downstream of the capacitor 25 is rectified by a rectifier assembly 26, in particular formed by a diode bridge. Thus, between the output terminals 27, 28 of the rectifier assembly 26, a direct voltage appears, when a sound signal is present on the conductors 23, 24. This direct voltage, present between the terminals 27, 28 is used to control switch means 29 capable of closing or opening the supply circuit of the additional horn 2.
Les moyens interrupteurs 29 peuvent être formés par un contact travail ou repos d'un relai électromagnétique 30 dont la bobine de commande est reliée aux bornes 27, 28.The switching means 29 can be formed by a working or rest contact of an electromagnetic relay 30, the control coil of which is connected to the terminals 27, 28.
Il est clair qu'en choisissant, soit un contact travail, soit un contact repos, on pourra obtenir soit un signal lumineux (allumage de la lampe 2, lors d'un appel), soit l'interruption du signal, lumineux (extinction de la lampe 2, lors d'un appel).It is clear that by choosing either a working contact or a rest contact, we can obtain either a light signal (ignition of lamp 2, during a call), or the interruption of the signal, light (extinction of lamp 2, during a call).
Il est clair également que les moyens interrupteurs 29, 30 à relais pourraient être remplacés par des circuits à semi¬conducteurs, notasnent à transistors ou par des circuits logiques.It is also clear that the switching means 29, 30 with relays could be replaced by semiconductor circuits, in particular with transistors or by logic circuits.
Dans tous les cas, on peut prévoir sur le boîtier 8 (figure 1) un témoin lumineux 31 attestant le branchemenbt et le bon fonction¬nement de l'adaptateur 1.In all cases, one can provide on the housing 8 (FIG. 1) an indicator light 31 attesting to the connection and proper functioning of the adapter 1.
Ceci étant, l'utilisation et le fonctionnement de cet adapta¬teur sont les suivants.That said, the use and operation of this adapter are as follows.
Pour brancher l'adaptateur 1, on commence par retirer le conjoncteur male 13, du cable 12 du poste téléphonique 6, du conjonc¬teur femelle 10 généralement fixé sur un mur. Puis on met en place la partie male de la fiche 11 dans ce conjoncteur femelle 10; éventuel¬lement, on pourrait utiliser un prolongateur male-femelle entre le conjoncteur 10 et la fiche 11. On introduit ensuite le conjoncteur male 13 dans la partie femelle de la fiche 11.To connect the adapter 1, we start by removing the male contactor 13, from the cable 12 of the telephone set 6, from the female contactor 10 generally fixed to a wall. Then we put in place the male part of the plug 11 in this female contactor 10; possibly, a male-female extension cable could be used between the contactor 10 and the plug 11. The male contactor 13 is then introduced into the female part of the plug 11.
En ce qui concerne l'alimentation électrique a partir du secteur, on introduit la partie male de la prise secteur 18 dans une prise murale secteur, éventuellement par l'intermédiaire d'un prolongateur. Puis on introduit la fiche 22 de branchement du cable 21 de la lampe 2 (ou de tout autre appareil électrique compatible avec l'adaptateur 1) dans la partie femelle de la prise 18.As regards the electrical supply from the sector, the male part of the mains socket 18 is introduced into a mains wall socket, possibly by means of an extension cable. Then insert the plug 22 for connecting the cable 21 of the lamp 2 (or any other electrical device compatible with the adapter 1) into the female part of the socket 18.
Le coamutateur 14 est ensuite placé sur la position de fonc¬tionnement souhaitée (sonnerie seule, sonnerie à signal luminetix, ou signal lumineux seul).The coamutator 14 is then placed in the desired operating position (ringing only, ringing with luminetix signal, or light signal only).
En cas d'appel téléphonique, le signal de sonnerie provoquera, suivant lai position du coαnutateur 14, soit le déclenchement de la sonnerie seule, soit le déclenchement de la sonnerie et du signal lumineux produit par la lance 2, soit le déclenchement du signal lumineux seul. cet adaptateur est particulièrement intéressant dans tous les cas où l'on souhaite substituer à la sonnerie classique du téléphone un autre signal d'avertissement, par exemple le signal lumineux, soit du fait d'un handicap d'audition des personnes chez lesquelles le poste téléphonique 6 est installé, soit du fait que l'on souhaite supprimer le bruit de la sonnerie pour éviter tout dérangement (cas de parents d'enfants en bas age qui souhaitent éviter de réveiller les enfants par la sonnerie; cas de personnes agées; cas de personnes travaillant le soir et susceptibles d'être appelées fréquemment au téléphone).In the event of a telephone call, the ringing signal will, depending on the position of the co-feeder 14, either trigger the ringing alone, or trigger the ringing and the light signal produced by lance 2, or trigger the light signal alone. this adapter is particularly advantageous in all cases where it is desired to replace the conventional ringing of the telephone with another warning signal, for example the light signal, either due to a hearing handicap of the persons in whom the telephone Telephone 6 is installed, either because we want to suppress the ringing noise to avoid any disturbance (in the case of parents of young children who wish to avoid waking children by the ringing; in the case of elderly people; in the case people working in the evening and likely to be called frequently on the phone).
Dans le cas d'une telle personne travaillant le soir, il lui suffira de brancher sa lampe de bureau 2 sur la partie femelle de la prise 18 et de placer le commutateur 14 dans la position qui coupe totalement la sonnerie du téléphone; dans ces conditions, la lampe 2 éclairera en permanence pour s'éteindre uniquement lors de l'apparition des signaux de sonnerie sur la ligne 4. cette personne sera donc immódiatement avertie, par le clignotement de la lampe 2, d'un appel téléphonique et il lui suffira de décrocher le combiné du poste 6 pour faire cesser ce clignotement et obtenir la communication téléphonique. Le branchement de l'adaptateur ne nécessite aucune modification de l'installation.In the case of such a person working in the evening, it will suffice for him to connect his desk lamp 2 to the female part of the socket 18 and to place the switch 14 in the position which completely cuts off the ringing of the telephone; under these conditions, the lamp 2 will permanently light up and go out only when the ringing signals appear on line 4. this person will therefore be immediately notified, by the flashing of the lamp 2, of a telephone call and it will suffice to lift the handset from set 6 to stop this flashing and obtain the telephone call. The connection of the adapter does not require any modification of the installation.
Le boîtier 8 peut être d'une taille réduite, par exemple d'une forme parallèlèpipédique rectangle, dont les dimensions seraient infé¬rieures ou égales à 80 mmX40mmX40 mm. II est â noter que la présentation et les caractéristiques de l'adaptateur conforme à l'invention le rendent d'une utilisation aussi aisée que l'interrupteur classique de la lampe 2.The housing 8 may be of a reduced size, for example of a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the dimensions of which would be less than or equal to 80 mm × 40 mm × 40 mm. It should be noted that the presentation and the characteristics of the adapter according to the invention make it as easy to use as the conventional switch of the lamp 2.
L'utilisation d'un tel adaptateur est tout-à-fait possible avec un téléphone "sans fil" sans restriction de la liberté de mouvement offerte par un tel téléphone. On rappelle qu'un téléphone "sans fil" se compose d'un récepteur-émetteur branché sur la ligne téléphonique 4 propre a réémettre, sous forme d'ondes, les informations fournies par les signaux de la ligne 4. Le poste téléphonique 6 n'est plus relié matériellement par un cable à cet émetteur-récepteur, et consiste lui¬même en un émetteur récepteur de portée réduite.The use of such an adapter is entirely possible with a "cordless" telephone without restriction of the freedom of movement offered by such a telephone. It is recalled that a "cordless" telephone consists of a receiver-transmitter connected to the telephone line 4 capable of re-transmitting, in the form of waves, the information provided by the signals of line 4. The telephone set 6 n is more connected materially by a cable to this transceiver, and itself consists of a transceiver of reduced range.
La fiche 11 de l'adaptateur conforme à l'invention serait bran¬chée alors de la même manière que celle décrite précédemment, et l'émetteur-récepteur, au lieu d'être relié directement à la ligne 4, serait relié à la partie femelle de la fiche 11. une autre application intéressante de l'adaptateur conforme à l'invention concerne les milieux hospitaliers.The plug 11 of the adapter according to the invention would then be plugged in in the same manner as that described above, and the transceiver, instead of being connected directly to line 4, would be connected to the part female of plug 11. another interesting application of the adapter according to the invention relates to hospital environments.
Il est à noter que les moyens de commutation 14, 15 peuvent être réalisés simplement coαne représenté sur la figure 3, par un interrupteur monté dans le circuit d'alimentation du relai 30. Un contact repos 32 par exemple, du relais 30 est inséré dans un des conducteurs 33 du cable 12 reliant le téléphone 6 aux moyens de rac¬cordement 9. Lorsque l'interrupteur 15 est fermé, le relais 30, lors de l'apparition du signal de sonnerie, ouvre le contact repos 32, ce qui empêche la sonnerie du téléphone 6 de retentir. Lorsque le signal de sonnerie cesse, le contact repos 32 se ferme à nouveau et rétablit la ligne pour la communication téléphonique. Lorsque l'interrupteur 15 est ouvert, l'avertisseur d'appel complémentaire est mis hors service. It should be noted that the switching means 14, 15 can be produced simply as shown in FIG. 3, by a switch mounted in the supply circuit of the relay 30. A rest contact 32 for example, of the relay 30 is inserted in one of the conductors 33 of the cable 12 connecting the telephone 6 to the connection means 9. When the switch 15 is closed, the relay 30, when the ringing signal appears, opens the rest contact 32, which prevents the telephone 6 rings. When the ring signal ceases, the idle contact 32 closes again and re-establishes the line for telephone communication. When switch 15 is open, the additional call warning is deactivated.
