Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apriz. 10, 1906.
Application filed January 18,1906, Serial No, 296K353.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, KELLEY M. Tonnes, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the borough oi Manhattan and. State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Head Ban ls or Supports for Telephone-Receivers, of which the iollowingisa full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to a heed support or bond for telephone-receivers.
Under certain circumstances, and particularly in case of deaf persons employing the acousticon, it is desirable, to have mechanical. means for supporting the instrument against the ear in order to relieve the person using the device from the inconvenience oi holding it with his hand.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a support o Ior of the above character of very light and simple construction and adapted to be folded up when not in use into a very small compass.
A further object of the invention is toprovide a construction whichshall he mechanically strong and rigid and easy to manufacture.
With these and other objects in view my invention consists in the construction, com.-
bination, location, and arrangement of ports,
all as will be more fully hereinafter set forth and shown, and finaliy particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
- In the drawings, Figure 1 is c side view of e 0O1I1plf5t8-ll0ld6f or support cn'ibodying the principles oi my invention, the receiver being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a view of the Sit-1116lilitSiOldfidfllp relation. Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the flexible joint.
in carrying out my invention it make use of a curved band of resilient material. with spring-ring st one end adopted to engage the usual receiver. .he central portion of the bond is jointed to enable it to be folded or doubled upon itself into a small compass, and the spring-ringfor clamping the receiver is also pivoted to permit it to swing into the plane of the rest of the device.
Referring; to the drawings, 1. designates the supporting bend, having sections 2 and 3 curved to embrace the head with a certain amount oi spring tension when the device is in use. The two sections joined her at the point e by a pin. or r1 l i to make the sections sci s in tially r ,gid when in use 1 construct the 4 in a special wa y,
which forms an important feature oi my invention. The section 3 is folded over at the point 5, so es to produce a double thickness at the point 6, tl'irough which the pin or rivet i passes, and the section 2 is extended beyond the pin or rivet, as shown at '7, so to produce a resilient arm having a head 8 thereon. The section 3 is cupped or recessed at the point 9 in the path of the bead 8, so that said head springs into the cup or recess 9 by the resiliency of the arm 7 when. thc'two sections are moved into alinement with one another.
The lower or terminal end of the section. of the supporting-bend is ofiset slightly, as shown at 10, from the curve of the rest oi the band and has a transverselyextending e tremity ll.
12 designates the spring ring or fork. secured to the extrcmi ty 1]. by a pin or rivet 13 and preferably formed, as shown, with its terininal ends slightly deflected at 14 in order to facilitate the insertion of the receiver therein. On account of the nature of the pin or rivet connection 13 the spring ring or' fork 12 is capable of swiveling on e die inetrel axis into the plane of the supportingband i. The end of the su iportingpbend opposite the spring ring or iorlr i2 is adopted to receive a pad termed to produce a corn fort-able engagement with the head of the wearer. A convenient form oi pad for this ourposc is illustrated at 15, comprising a sheet-metal cup '1 6, having a. projecting strap 17 embossed or struck up from its rear fece, so as to receive a spring 18. The spring 1:; has shoulders 19 thereon, by which it is retained in position within the strap end serves to engage the lower extremity of the bandsection 3 with suliicient force to hoid the pad in place. 20 denotes a lilling of yielding or flexible material, which forms the body of the pad.
The use oi the inventimi is as follows: The person using the instrument will ordinarily carry the support or band in its ioldcd-up relation, as shown in Fig. .2, in which it occupies very little space nod may be placed in the pockets or about the persons clothing. Vt hen it. is desired to use the instrument. the WW ions 23 end i; are folded into aliooticnt With. one another, so that the bond s engages the cup or recess 9 end sets them in romparm tiveiy rigid relation. 'ilho spring rim; or fork il not; turned upon. its supp iding-pivot 13 into the proper trunsvrrso re] *1 tion, where it remains by virtue of the l'riciional rcsist ranged to fold into the plane of said springsections.
2. A supporting band or holder for telephone-receivers corn rislng a pair of curved lspring-sections j oine together at their upper ends, so as to be capable of folding to ether, and a spring ring or fork pivoted to the terminal end of one of the sections and adapted I to be moved into transverse relation thereto.
3. A supporting band or holder for telephone-receivers comprising a pair of springsections pivoted together at their upper ends, one of said sections having a bead and the other a cup or recess in alinement therewith, whereby the sections maybe held in substantially rigid operative relation, and a spring ring or fork pivoted to the terminal end of one of the sections and capable of being folded into the plane thereof when not i '4. A supporting band or holder for telephone-receivers comprising a 5 ring-section, a pad having a strap struck up t ereon, and a spring retained by said strap and frictionallyengaging said spring-section.
In witness whereof I subscribe my signa ture in the presence of two witnesses.
