Description

DISPOSITIF POUR EVITER LE CONTACT DIRECT DE LA BOUCHE ET L'OREI LE AVEC L'EMETTEUR ET LE RECEPTEUR DES COMBINES TELEPHONIQUES PUBLICS OU PRIVES. DEVICE FOR AVOIDING DIRECT MOUTH AND EAR CONTACT WITH THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER OF PUBLIC OR PRIVATE TELEPHONE HANDSETS.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui permet d'éviter le contact direct do la bouche et de l'oreille avec l'émetteur et le récep teur d'un combiné de téléphone public ou privé. Le même dispositif sert in différemment pour l'oreille ou la bouche. 5 En effet, le téléphone tend de plus en plus à remplacer le courri d'où l'importance accrue des dites cabines téléphoniques publiques dans la vie quotidienne.The present invention relates to a device which makes it possible to avoid direct contact of the mouth and the ear with the transmitter and receiver of a public or private telephone handset. The same device is used differently for the ear or the mouth. 5 Indeed, the telephone tends more and more to replace the e-mail hence the increased importance of said public telephone booths in daily life.
Or: Ces cabines sont utilisées par TOUT UN CHACUN; Le nettoyage et la désinfection des combinés téléphoniques sont nettement insuffisants en raison du volume d'utilisations et de manipulations;Gold: These cabins are used by EVERYONE; The cleaning and disinfection of telephone handsets is clearly insufficient due to the volume of use and handling;
Souvent, en parlant, certains utilisateurs "postillonnent".Often speaking, some users "spin".
En conséquence,ces manipulations incessantes et le "postillonnage provoquent à la longue : Un dépôt de crasse sur le combiné et plus particulièrement sur l'émetteur; Une odeur nauséabonde et malsaine ( émetteur-récepteur) ;Consequently, these incessant manipulations and "post-sampling cause in the long run: A deposit of grime on the handset and more particularly on the transmitter; A foul and unhealthy odor (transmitter-receiver);
Une absence totale d'hygiène pouvant entraîner une prolifération microbien ne aggravée en période d'épidémie : grippe, angine,rhume, virus par exemple Le dispositif,selon l' invention,permet de remédier cet inconvé- nient :A total lack of hygiene which can lead to microbial proliferation which is only aggravated during an epidemic: flu, sore throat, colds, viruses for example The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback:
Il comporte un boîtier en deux parties, renfermant une pastille ou filtre,désinfectante et déodorante,pouvant être fixé de façon amovible sur le récepteur ou l'émetteur d'un combiné téléphonique usuel, et , ce, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de modifier le dit combiné. Selon une forme de réalisation,préférentielle, le dispositif peut être réalisé en matière plastique en une seule opération de moulage par in¬ jection.It has a two-part housing, containing a tablet or filter, disinfectant and deodorant, which can be removably attached to the receiver or the transmitter of a usual telephone handset, without the need to modify said combined. According to a preferred embodiment, the device can be made of plastic in a single injection molding operation.
Selon la présente invention,l'une des deux parties du boîtier com porte une patte articulée susceptible de s'accrocher,par déformation élasti que de la matière la constituant,sur la partie médiane du combiné téléphoni que.According to the present invention, one of the two parts of the housing com carries an articulated lug capable of hooking, by elastic deformation of the material constituting it, on the middle part of the telephone handset.
L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre, faite en se référant au dessin annexé à titre d'exemple indicatif seulernen„ sur lequel : La figure 1 est une vue en perspective montrant le boîtier en po- sition d'utilisation.The invention will be better understood from the description which follows, made with reference to the attached drawing by way of indicative example only, in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the housing in position sition of use.
La figure 2 est une vue en élévation montrant le boîtier en posi¬ tion de non-utilisation ou de rangement.Figure 2 is an elevational view showing the housing in non-use or storage posi¬ tion.
La figure 3 est une vue en coupe, effectuée selon la ligne III- III de la figure 2.FIG. 3 is a sectional view, taken along the line III-III of FIG. 2.
Le dispositif se compose d'un boîtier en deux parties,respective¬ ment 1 et 3 dans lequel est logée une pastille ou filtre,désinfectante et déodorante 2.The device consists of a housing in two parts, respectively 1 and 3 in which is housed a tablet or filter, disinfectant and deodorant 2.
Selon la présente invention,la partie 3 du boîtier,dénommée "cou- vercle",comporte une patte 6,articulée.According to the present invention, the part 3 of the housing, called "cover", comprises a tab 6, articulated.
Selon un mode de réalisation,la patte 6 présente une fourche 7 dont les extrémités sont rabattues vers l'intérieur en 7a.According to one embodiment, the tab 6 has a fork 7 whose ends are folded inwards at 7a.
La patte 6 constitue l'organe de fixation du boîtier 1-3 sur un combiné téléphonique usuel dont les branches de la fourche 7 peuvent enser- rer la partie médiane M du dit combiné (fig 1 ) .The lug 6 constitutes the fixing member of the housing 1-3 on a conventional telephone handset, the branches of the fork 7 of which can enclose the middle part M of said handset (FIG. 1).
La mise en place et le retrait du boîtier s'effectuent par une dé¬ formation élastique de la matière constituant la fourche 7.The installation and removal of the housing is effected by elastic de¬ formation of the material constituting the fork 7.
De préférence, la partie 6 est articulée entre les ailes 8 d'une charnière rendue solidaire du couvercle 3 et elle présente latéralement des tourillons 9 susceptibles d'être engagés elastiquement dans des loge¬ ments prévus dans les faces internes des ailes 8.A cet effet, la patte 6 présente une échancrure 10 ( figure 2 ) .Preferably, the part 6 is articulated between the wings 8 of a hinge made integral with the cover 3 and it has laterally pins 9 capable of being elastically engaged in housings provided in the internal faces of the wings 8.A this Indeed, the tab 6 has a notch 10 (Figure 2).
En position de rangement,la patte 6-7 se loge dans un évidement 11 prévu dans la face externe du couvercle 3 . Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté mais s'étend,au contraire,à toutes varian¬ tes de formes et dimensions. In the storage position, the tab 6-7 is housed in a recess 11 provided in the external face of the cover 3. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown but extends, on the contrary, to all varian¬ your shapes and dimensions.
