Abstract
A recording device comprising a base having an upper surface and a lower surface, a top cover, a plurality of feet coupled to the lower surface of the base, a terminal network coupled to the upper surface of the base, a hook switch coupled to the upper surface of the base and electrically coupled to the terminal network, an XLR connector coupled to the internal surface of the top cover and electrically coupled to the terminal network, a ground lug coupled to the upper surface of the base and electrically coupled to the XLR connector, a rotary dial coupled to the base, and a handset removably supported by the top cover and electrically coupled to the terminal network by a telephone wire. A method of using the same to record a message.
Claims13
A recording device comprising:
- a) a base having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- b) a top cover removably coupled to the base and having:
- i. an internal surface;
- ii. an external surface;
- iii. a central opening and
- iv. two supports;
- c) a plurality of feet coupled to the lower surface of the base for supporting the device;
- d) a terminal network coupled to the upper surface of the base;
- e) a hook switch coupled to the upper surface of the base, and electrically coupled to the terminal network, wherein the hook switch extends up into the two supports when the top cover is coupled to the base;
- f) an XLR connector coupled to the internal surface of the top cover and electrically coupled to the terminal network;
- g) a ground lug coupled to the upper surface of the base and electrically coupled to the XLR connector;
- h) a rotary dial coupled to the base and configured to extend through the central opening in the top cover;
- and
- i) a handset removably supported by the top cover and eclectically coupled to the terminal network by a telephone wire, the handset having:
- i. a first end that contains a microphone;
- ii. a second end that contains a speaker;
- and
- iii. a central handle portion disposed between the two ends.
A recording device comprising:
