  • a further aim is that of providing a hygienic protection device for the said telephone set, and in particular for the telephone handset, which is especially economical, easy to use and apply, and possibly realisable in throw-away packages.
  • the device object of the present invention is constituted by a telephone handset hygienic protection device, of the type comprising a microtel ephone or handset which is part of a telephone set and is equipped with a receiver which contains a receiving capsule and a microphone which contains a transmitting capsule, characterised by the fact that it comprises at least one membrane, pressure-applicable externally on the receiver and/or on the microphone, shaped according to the shape of the receiver and/or microphone, and aimed at providing hygienic protection for the telephone.
  • a telephone handset hygienic protection device of the type comprising a microtel ephone or handset which is part of a telephone set and is equipped with a receiver which contains a receiving capsule and a microphone which contains a transmitting capsule, characterised by the fact that it comprises at least one membrane, pressure-applicable externally on the receiver and/or on the microphone, shaped according to the shape of the receiver and/or microphone, and aimed at providing hygienic protection for the telephone.
  • FIG. 1 shows the device applied on a telephone handset, in a lateral view
  • FIG. 1 shows the device applied on a telephone handset, in frontal view:
  • FIG. 3 shows a particular of the application of the device, in section according to line I-I of figure 2.
  • 1 denotes a microtel ephone or handset being part of a telephone set (not illustrated) and comprising a receiver 2 containing a receiving capsule and a microphone 3 containing a transmitting capsule.
  • the handset 1 is of substantially known type but is provided with membranes 4 applied externally to the receiver 2 and the microphone 3.
  • Each membrane 4 is made preferably of material which is rigid, but sufficiently deformable to permit a stable but removable application on the telephone handset.
  • the membrane 4 could be made, for example, out of polyethylene, plastic, paper or cardboard.
  • a gasket 6 is envisaged, internally inserted in the membrane 4 in such a way as to create sufficient friction between the membrane 4 and the handset, so as to favour reciprocal coupling.
  • the membrane 4 may be internally equipped with one or more suckers, not illustrated.
  • the membrane 4 can be equipped with a plurality of holes 7 to allow sound to pass from the outside, in the case of the microphone, or from the inside, in the case of the receiver.
  • the holes 7 can be further protected, for hygienic purposes, by means of a sheet or second membrane 8 permeable to sound but not to bacterial substances.
  • 5 denotes the holes with with the receiver and microphone are equipped, while 9 denotes two protuberances for the hookin of the handset to a telephone set.
  • the membranes 4 could be mutually conected by an elastic band.
  • the membranes 4 are preferably made in polyethylene and can be of the throw-away type, singly packaged in sterile wrappings and distributed by special automatic vending machines place inside telephone boxes, or placed on sale in shops.
  • Each membrane 4 is substantially tray-shaped and comprises a flat part 4a and a border 4b.
  • the flat part 4a when the membrane 4 is applied to the handset, is slightly detached and parallel to the corresponding external surface of the handset covered by it, so that no contagion can be transferred to it.
  • the border 4b wraps around the receiver 2 and/or the microphone 3 of the handset to permit the stable application of the membrane 4 to the handset.
  • the device of the invention allows a high level of hygienic protection as well as good economv and ease of use of the device itself.
