GEORGE A. HUEWVE, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THOMAS C. BRAD- FORD, OF SAME PLACE.
EAR-PIECE FOR TELEPHONES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 367,003, dated July 19, 1887.
Application filed January 3, 1887. Serial No. 223,269. (No modeL) To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE A. HUEWE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ear-Pieces for Telephones, of which the following is a specification.
The several features of my invention and c the advantages resulting from their use conjointly or otherwise will be fully apparent from the subjoined description and claims.
The object of my invention is to provide a device for ready attachment to the extremity r5 ofa telephone, which shall serve the double purpose of affording a soft and comfortable rest to come in contact with the head, and at the same time by formingasnug j unetion with the head, around the ear, effectually exclude 2:) external sounds, and thus serve to concentrate thesounds from the telephone and render them more audible.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective 2 5 view of a telephone-receiver provided with my attachment. Fig. 2 is a view of the complete attachment. Fig. 3 is a detached perspective View of the flexible ring of the attachment. Fig. at is a detached perspective view of the curtain. Fig. 5is a detached perspective view of the rigid ring. Fig. 6 is a partial central section of a telephone-receiver having my attachment.
The ring A is made ofsome soft and flexible 5 material, which should also possess more or less elasticity. One description of such mater al would be soft rubber. Anotherdescriptlon of suitable material is one composed of glycerine and glue in proper proportions. The
0 ring A flares outwardly, as shown in the drawings. A curtain, B, is attached to the ring A in any desired manner, but preferably by sewing it thereto. A ring, (3, is present at the lower part of the ring A, and preferably sur- 5 rounds the ring A, as shown, and is attached to the latter. This ring 0 is made of thin metal or other suitable substance, and is de signed to impart a certain degree of rigidity to the ring A. The ring Ois connected to the ring A and the curtain B in anysuitable man ner. The preferred mode of connection is that illustrated in the drawings-viz., the ring 0 is provided with a series of small openings, D, through which passes the thread E, which sews together the ringsA and C and the curtain B. The free end of the curtain is provided with a draw-string, F, or an elastic band. My attachment is secured to the receiver H, as shown in Figs. 1 and G. The device rests on the flange g of the telephone receiver H, and surrounds the projection h. The curtain B hangs down over the flange g, and is drawn under the flange g and stretched by tightening and tying the draw-string F. In this way the device is securely held in position.
The curtain B may consist of an elastic substance connected to the ring A either by being cast thereto or united by other suitable means.
In such event it would still be desirable to have the ring 0 present, as the latter aids in preserving the circular form of the ring A.
' It will be seen that the attachment described is held from slipping or being drawn off the telephone-receiver by reason of the contractible inner edge of the curtain portion underlapping the flange or projection g.
In using the attachment,-the ring A completely surrounds the ear, forms a soft cushion againstthe head, and by cutting off all external sounds enables the sounds coming through the telephone to be more distinctly heard.
I do not in this case claim anything claimed in another pending application No. 224,413, filed by me January 15, 1887.
\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In combination with a telephone-receiver, the cushioned ring A, and curtain B, provided with draw-string F, substantially as and for 0 the purposes specified.
2. As an attach ment to a telephone-receiver, the combination of the rings A and O and ourtain, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
3. As an attachment to atelephonereceiver, thecombination of the rings A andCand curtain B, provided with draw-string F, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
4. Asan attachmenttoatelephone-receiver, I00
