The overall arrangement is such that when you insert the Drawer 8 in the bottom part 221 of the housing 2, the eyelet 237 on the drawer 8 den-cam 375 engages around, the drawer retaining strip 371 in an approximately horizontal position or assumes a position in which the front portion 371a of the drawer handle bar 371 occupies an upper position. This upper position is the one on the back Drawer retaining strip 371 is given when the front area 371a of the drawer retaining strip 371 above the opening 226a in the base plate 226 of the bottom part 221 comes to rest. The drawer retaining strip 371 is in the area the path of movement of the card retaining pins 310 to 333 arranged. Becomes a dial button operated, this has a pivoting of the swivel arm connected to this selection button in such a way that the free, the card retaining pin carrying end of the Swivel arm is moved downward in the direction of arrow X1 (Fig. 8), so that the corresponding The card retaining pin acts on the front area 371a of the drawer retaining strip 371 and this with its front section into the recess 226a in the base plate 226 of the bottom part 221 presses in. The resilient element 373 is thereby compressed and kept under tension. At the moment when the card retention pin the drawer retaining strip 371 with its front section 371a into the opening 226a has pressed the bottom plate 226 of the bottom part 221, the drawer 8 is insofar unlocked when the cam 375 is pivoted out of the eyelet 237 attached to the drawer 8 will. Since the drawer 8 is under spring tension, this will be the case at this moment Drawer 8 extended (Fig. 5 and 6). Instead of the drawer retaining strip 371 can a differently designed device can also be used, which follows below will be discussed in more detail in connection with FIG. 44, but this device must also be designed in such a way that the drawer 8 can be unlocked from the bottom part 232 is possible. Instead of one Opening 226 in the base plate 226 of the bottom part 221 can, if the bottom plate 226 has an appropriate thickness has, a recess can also be provided.

However, it is essential that the drawer retaining strip 371 for unlocking of the drawer 8 in a recess or opening with its front section 371a can be pressed in so that the unlocking process can be triggered.

The stack of cards 9 consists of one of the number of selection keys 240 to 263 corresponding number of tabs made of cardboard, cardboard or the like .. In the embodiment of a tab selection shown in the drawing and release device, twenty-four tabs are provided that begin with 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 423, 424. are. On their back edges the tabs 402 to 424 assign selections 402a, 403a, 404a, 405a, 406a, 407a, 408a, 409a, 410a, 411a, 412a, 413a, 414a, 415a, 416a, 4i7a, 418a, 419a, 420a, 421a, 422a, 423a, 424a, which are provided with openings 450. These breakthroughs 450 in the selections of the tabs are accordingly the arrangement of the card retention pins 310 to 333 arranged in two parallel rows, so that each card retaining pin is assigned an opening. These breakthroughs 450 in tabs 402 through 424 are roughly circular. The bottom one Tab 401 has no opening 450.

The arrangement and design of the selection tabs 402a to 424a is such, that with the register card 402 starting from the bottom up the number of Openings 450 increased by one opening each time, so that on the tab 402 tab 403 opposite tab 402 with an opening 450 has two openings 450: (FIGS. 15 to 18). Also are the selections designed so that the opening by which the number of openings the respective underlying card is increased, neither from a selection tab nor is covered by an opening in another card. Fig. 15 shows one Section of the tab 402 with the selection tab 402a that has an opening 450a. The selection tongue 402a has a blank on the left is provided with an inclined portion 402b so that the selection tongue 402a can just accommodate the opening 450a. The one on the 402 lying tab 403 has an approximately square or rectangular shape Blank as a selection tongue 403a and is provided with two openings 450a, 450b, the opening 450a of the tab 403 with the opening 450a of the Tab 402 corresponds (FIG. 16).

If the two tabs 402 and 403 are on top of each other, so the selection tab 403a of the tab 403 covers the tab 402a of the tab 402 so that only the selection tab 402a is covered, while the remaining Portion 403b of the selection tab 403a is exposed (Figs. 17 and 18). Will now the relevant selection key operated so that their card retaining pin by the Opening of the selection tongue 403a of the tab 403 reaches through to the To act on the drawer retaining strip 471 at the same time, is probably by means of this Card retention pin the tab 403 and also all those tabs recorded, which are on tab 403. Since no card retention pin is passed through the opening 450a of the selection tongue 402a, is the Tab 402 is not held back, but is with the extending drawer 8 taken to the front.

This removal of the selected tab or

of the selected tab with the one below it Tabs are made by means of a cam 380, which is attached to the base plate 231 of the Drawer 8, namely adjacent to the drawer front wall 234a, integrally formed in the middle is. The tabs 401 to 424 have an opening 430 on the front side, in which the cam 380 engages and when the drawer 8 is extended out of the housing 2 the selected tab with the tabs below pulls out of the deck of cards 9. This driving cam 380 has an approximately triangular shape Form on, which ensures that all those tabs that go through a card retention pin passed through perforations 450 is not retained can be released from the cam 380, so that only the released Tab with the tabs below it together with the drawer can be extended.

The selections 402a to 424a of the tabs 402 to 424 are, as FIG. 14 shows, arranged in the form of steps.

A tab selection and release device configured in this way 20 can be used as follows: When the tab selection and release device is not in use the drawer 8 is moved into the housing 2. The drawer 8 increases one a stack of cards 9 combined number of tabs on the rear Area are provided with openings 450 having selections.

When a dial key is pressed, the one associated with the dial key becomes Swivel arm with its free end in the direction of the base plate 226 of the base part 221 is moved so that the card retaining pin attached to this pivot arm by the openings 450 assigned to it and arranged in its path of movement is passed through the tabs until the drawer retaining bar 371 acted upon and with its front section 371a in the opening or Recess 226a in the bottom plate 226 of the bottom part 221 is pressed. In this The eyelet held by the cam 375 of the drawer retaining strip 371 is momentarily 237 of the drawer 8 released as the drawer retaining strip is pivoted 371 the cam 375 is pivoted out of the eyelet 237. At this moment it is quick the drawer 8 due to the pressure spring forward and takes each one at the same time selected tab and the tabs under this tab with while all those tabs that are above the selected tab are retained by the depressed card retention pin. Will the extended drawer 8 with the corresponding tab in the field of view is no longer required, the drawer 8 is pressed into the housing 2 and in this held by the fact that the eyelet 237 on the drawer base plate 231 in the Cam 375 engages and is in the locking position of the drawer retaining strip 371 is held after releasing the pressure on the card retention pin the drawer retaining strip 371 from the element having resilient properties 373 is moved to a slightly raised position, i.e. moved back into that position that the loop 237 on the drawer 8 on the Cams 375 of the drawer retaining strip 371 for the locking process ensured. When the drawer 8 is pushed in, the tabs of the stack of cards are 9 of the two angled retaining strips arranged in the interior of the housing 2 219,219a held, the side of the tabs of the stack of cards 9 in sections overlap so that the tabs with their selections plan in the area of the Card retention pins are arranged.

This tab selection and enabling device 20 requires a low design and manufacturing effort because the dial buttons 240 to 263 together with their heavy lifting arms 270 to 293 form a removable unit form, since the pivot arms 270 to 293 are pushed onto the support rod 301 at one end are.

Any wrong choice is excluded, as only that tab is released whose associated dial key has been pressed. As the selections arranged with the openings at the rear ends of the tabs there is a large area to be labeled on the tabs. Instead of the driver cam 380 on the base plate 231 of the drawer 8 laterally arranged driver cams can also be provided.

The tabs must then have appropriately designed recesses be provided for the engagement of these driver cams, each guaranteed must be that the selected tab with the respective. underlying tabs perfect be taken when extending the drawer 8, while the card retaining pin Retained cards must be released from the driver cam.

For labeling, the individual tabs can easily be accessed from the Device housing can be removed.

The tab selection and release device 20a of the FIGS The embodiment shown in FIGS. 19 to 39 / 39a is also in the housing 2 housed with a box-shaped cover part 511 and a box-shaped bottom part 521. The cover part 511 and the bottom part 521 are screwed or glued together connected to each other and are preferably made of plastics. The lid part 511, its side walls with 513 and 515, its front wall with 512 and its rear wall denoted at 514 has a top cover plate 516 in which adjacent an approximately square or rectangular opening 517 towards the front wall 512 is trained. The portion of the top cover plate 516 that contains the opening 517 is slightly beveled in the shape of a desk. The remaining area of the cover plate 516 can be covered with a non-slip surface. be provided and have a size that as a support surface for a telephone or the like. serves (Fig. 19 to 23) The bottom part 521, its side walls with 523 and 525, its front wall with 522 and its rear wall denoted by 524, has a bottom plate 526 and a slot-shaped Breakthrough in the front wall 522, which is used to accommodate a drawer 8.

The bottom part 521 of the housing 2 accommodates the drawer 8, which consists of consists of a plate-shaped sliding shelf 531 and a front end strip 532, which in the retracted state of the drawer 8 the drawer extension opening 520 in the front wall 522 of the bottom part 521 closes. In the middle and on its top the sliding shelf 521 has a driver cam 533 (FIGS. 26 and 27). the Side walls of the drawer 8 are formed by two boundary walls 519 and 519a, which are formed on the inside of the housing cover part 511 (Fig. 28 and 29).

For extending the drawer 8 on the base plate 526 of the base part 521 a steel spring bar, not shown in the drawing, is arranged in such a way that one of its free end is connected to the plate-shaped sliding shelf 531, while the other end of the steel spring bar with the bottom plate 526 of the bottom part 521 is firmly connected. The effect of this steel spring corresponds to a push spring with the effect described above in connection with the steel spring rod 236.

In the area of the opening 517 in the upper cover plate 516 of the Lid part 511 of the housing 2 is arranged a number of dial buttons, the one square or rectangular Have shape and so arranged are that the total area formed by the selection keys the opening 517 in the cover part 511 fills.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, there are twelve Dial buttons 540,54l, 542,543,544,545,546,547, 548,549,550 and 551 are provided, the are marked accordingly with the letters of the alphabet, and zwa: in such a way that the selection key 540 the letters - "A, B", the selection key 541 the letters "I, J, K", the dial key 542 the letters 1? S, Tll, the dial key 543 the letters "C, D", the select key 544 the letters "L, M", the select key 545 the letters "SCH", the dial key 546 the letters "E, F", the dial key 547 the letters "N, O", the dial key 548 the letters "U, V", the dial key 549 the letters G, H ", the dial key 550 the letters" P, Q, R "and the dial key 551 include the letters "W, Z". The twelve dial buttons 540 to 551 are in three Rows next to each other and arranged in four rows one behind the other, so that the dial keys 540, 541, 542 and the dial keys 543,544,545 and the dial keys 546,547,548 and the dialing keys 549,550,551 each form a row. It does exist, however also the possibility of accommodating the dial buttons in only two rows.

All of the dialing keys are combined to form a keypad 6.

The dial keys 540 to 551 are associated with one of the number of dial keys corresponding number of lever-like swivel arms 560,56l, 562,563,564,565,566,567,568,569,570 and 571, at the ends of which 560a, 561a, 562a, 563a, 564a, 565a, 566a, 567a, 568a, 569a, 570a and 571a the dial buttons 540 to 551 are attached, while the other Ends of the pivot arms 560 to 571 with 560b, 561b, 562b, 563b, 564b, 565b, 566b, 567b, 568b, 569b, 570b and 571b (Fig. 25). The swivel arms 560 to 571 are two-armed Lever formed and by means of one on the side walls 513 and 515 of the cover part -511 mounted pivot axis 550 pivotably mounted, in such a way that the pivot arms 560 to 571 approximately in the middle with transverse to the pivot lever longitudinal axes extending through bores are provided through which the pivot axis 580 passed is, in such a way that the pivot arms 560 to 571 can pivot freely on the pivot axis 580 are arranged.

Each swivel arm 560 to 571 has in the region of its end 560b to 571b a vertically extending slot-shaped opening or through-hole 590, 591,592,593,594,595, 596,597,598,599,600 and 601 into the guide cams 610,611,612,613,614,615,616,617,618,619,620 and 621 engaged on the inner wall surface of the top cover plate 516 of the lid member 511 are integrally formed (Fig. 28). The length of the guide cams. 610 to 621 are such dimensioned that the free ends 560b to 571b of the pivot arms 560 to 571 with their slot-shaped openings 590 to 601 guided by means of these cams 610 to 621 are, so that a lateral displacement of the pivot arm ends 560b to 571b is avoided will. In addition, this arrangement offers the further advantage that a special attachment the swivel arms 560 to 571 on the swivel axis 580 no longer prevent it from moving is required.

The selection keys 540 to 551, which are made of plate-shaped, square or rectangular blanks exist and advantageously over vertical Bars are attached to the ends 560a to 571a of the pivot arms 560 to 571 dimensioned in their width so that the width of the sum of the lying next to each other in a row arranged dial buttons 540,543,546 and 549 as well as 541,544,547 and 550 and 542,545,548 .and 551 is not wider than the total width formed by the pivot arms 560 to 571. The arrangement of the selection keys 540 to 551 on the pivot arms 560 to 571 is based on 33 to 37 using the example of the selection keys 540, 541 and 542 explained. The dialpad 540 to 542 are arranged one behind the other in a row and at the ends 560a, 561a and 562a of the pivot arms 560, 561 and 562 attached.

Of these dial buttons 540, 541 and 542, the dial button 540 is on attached to the end 560a of the pivot arm 560 that the plate-shaped blank of the Selector button 540 overlaps the two adjacent swivel arms 561,562 on the right, the width of the selection key 540 being the width of the three pivot arms 560, 561 and 562 is equivalent to. The selection keys 541 and 542 also have widths that are the same as the Width of the three swivel arms 560, 561 and 562 correspond.

The central dial button 541 is attached to the swing arm end 561a so that that the plate-shaped dialing key is cantilevered on both sides and the adjacent pivot arms 560 and 562 overlaps. The front dial button 542 is again attached to the pivot arm end 562a so that its plate-shaped blank is on the left is cantilevered and overlaps the two pivot arms 560 and 561 (Fig. 35, 36 and 37). The dial buttons 543, 544 and 545 and 546, 547, 548 and 549, 550, 551 are in the same way on their swivel arms 563 to 571 as the selection keys 540, 541 and 542 attached.

Each pivot arm 560 to 571 carries one at its end 560b to 571b Card retention pin 630 (Fig. 24). Each of these card retention pins 630 will formed by a U-shaped section 640 with the web 640a and parallel to the Swing arm end extending legs 640b. The other leg of the U-shaped section 640 becomes of the end area 560b or 561b to 571b of the individual swivel arms 560 formed to 571.

The free end of the leg 640b of the U-shaped portion 640 of the Card retaining pin 630 carries a vertical rod 630a, which is the actual Represents card retention pin. The arrangement and design of the card retention pins 630 at the pivot arm ends 560b to 571b is such that when one is actuated Swivel arm through Depressing the corresponding selection key das rear end of the pivot arm is raised, while at the same time the rod 630a of the U-shaped portion 640 of the pivot arm in question is raised and as follows explained in more detail in the openings or recesses on the rear Edges of the tabs of the stack of tabs arranged in the drawer 8 engages, which is indicated in FIG. 24 at 9.

So that the overall height of the tab selection and release device 2 0a can be kept low is in the bottom plate 526 of the bottom part 521 in the area of the support surface of the U-shaped sections 640 of the card retention pins 630 a recess 527 is provided (Fig. 24). The depth of this recess 527 corresponds approximately the height of the webs 640b of the U-shaped sections 640 of the card retention pins 630, although the depth of the recess 527 can also be greater. Essential is the formation of the recess 527 and assignment of the pivot axis 580 for the swivel arms 560 to 571 in such a way that the swivel arms have a slight inclination have in the rest position, as shown in FIG. Support in this rest position the ridges 640b of the U-shaped sections 640 of the card retention pins 630 on the bottom surface of the recess 527. Because of this training, a proper engagement of the rod 630a of the card retaining pins 630 in the perforations in the rear edge areas of the cards in the tab stack 9 guaranteed. In addition, the individual rods 630a with a back be provided angled portion 630b, which, however, is not larger in terms of surface area is dimensioned as that in the edge area of the tabs of the tab stack 9 provided openings.

This rearwardly angled section 630b of the rods 630 prevents when extending the drawer 8 a lifting of those tabs that are under the selected tab and pull out with the drawer 8. This training of the rod 630 provides this advantage in particular with tabs that follow no longer have a flat surface after prolonged use.

In order to be able to pull out the drawer 8 after pressing a selector key, an unlocking device is provided which is actuated via a swivel bracket 650 (Figs. 30, 31 and 32).

This swivel bracket 650 is a U-shaped bracket with the legs 651 and 652 and one connecting these legs to one another Bridge 653.

The swivel bracket is at the ends 651a and 652a of the legs 651 and 652 650 hinged to the outer wall surfaces of the vertical boundary walls 519 and 519a, which are molded onto the cover part 511 (FIG. 28). However, there is also the possibility the swivel bracket 650 with its leg ends 651a, 652a on the inner wall surfaces of the side walls 523 and 525 of the bottom part 521 to articulate. The attachment of the swivel bracket 650 is such that this is around the 655 indicated in FIG The pivot axis is pivotable, In addition, the arrangement of the pivot bracket 650 made so that when the tab selector and release device is not in use 20a of the web 653 of the swivel bracket 650 on the swivel arms 560 to 571, namely rests in the area of the ends 560b to 571b. However, it exists beyond that also the possibility of the leg 640b of the U-shaped portion 640 of the card retention pins 630 to be extended beyond the perpendicular web 640a (FIG. 24).

The entire extended sections 640c then serve as a support surface for the web 653 of the U-shaped swivel bracket 650, whereby the advantage is achieved is that the housing 2 can be kept very low in height. About that In addition, a slight lifting when pressing a selector key is sufficient Swivel arm end to raise swivel bracket 650.

The drawer unlocking device consists of one on each Locking cams formed on the underside of each leg 651 and 652 of the swivel bracket 650 656, which, as shown in FIG. 32, consists of an approximately triangular body with one of the The approximately perpendicular stop surface 656a facing the rear wall of the housing 2 exists, are brought to the system on the counter cams 657, which are on both sides of the plate-shaped sliding compartment floor 531 are formed on this and each of which Counter cam 657 as a triangular body with a perpendicular and the front of the housing 2 facing edge 657a is formed.

This drawer unlocking device works according to FIG. 32 in the, way that when you press a button in the direction of arrow X the free, the Card retention pin 630 carrying end of the swivel arm in the direction of arrow X1 pivoted up and at the same time the swivel bracket 650 in the direction of arrow Y pivoted upwards. During the pivoting of the swivel bracket 650 in the direction of the arrow Y latch the two locking cams 656 on the legs 651 and 652 of the swivel bracket 650 from the counter cams 657 of the drawer 8, with the result that the drawer 8 can extend in the direction of arrow Y1 by means of spring force. Should after the inspection a tab, the drawer 8 returns to its position in the interior of the housing 2 occupy the drawer against the compressive force of the spring in the housing 2 pushed in until the counter cams 657 on the drawer 8 behind the locking cams 656 come to rest on the swivel bracket 650, the swivel bracket 650 thereby Assumes rest position.

The sliding of the counter cams 657 when inserting the drawer 8 in the interior of the housing 2 on the locking cam 656 is supported through the wedge-shaped guide surfaces 656b and 657b of the locking cams 656 and the counter cam 657. Have the counter cam 657 of the drawer 8 after the Inserting the drawer 8 their position behind the locking cam 656 of the Swivel bracket 650 taken, the swivel bracket swivels 650 due to its own weight or supported by a spring in his lowest position and thus locks the drawer 8.

So that the drawer 8 is as large as possible in the retracted state Has support surface for the stack of tabs 9, has the plate-shaped Drawer floor 531 in the rear edge area one of the number of card retention pins 630 corresponding number of slot-shaped recesses 660, 661,662,663,664,665,666,667,668,669,670 and 671 on. The length of each slot-shaped recess 660 to 671 corresponds the length of the leg 640b of the U-shaped portion 640 of each card retention pin 630, so that in the rest position the pivot lever 560 to 571 which is in the direction to the front of the housing 2 extending U-shaped sections 640 with their Legs 640b come to rest in these slot-shaped recesses 660 to 671. Due to this training is achieved at the same time that the pivot arms 560 to 571 are arranged aligned in the interior of the housing 2, so that when actuated a selector key of the corresponding card retention pin without shifting sideways into the perforations on the rear edge areas of the register cards can intervene.

The arranged in the housing 2 register card stack 9 has a corresponding to the number of dial buttons 540 to 551 number of Tabs 701, 702, 703,704,705,706,707.

708,709,710,711 and 712, with tab 701 being the top Card and the reoist card 712 the bottom card in the tab stack 9 form (Figs. 38, 39 and 39a).

Each card 701 to 712 is with an edge recess and with one Number of slot-shaped openings provided, the edge recess from the top tab 701 to 712 from the left side of the map to the right Map side with simultaneous enlargement of the edge recess by one slot-shaped each Opening with a simultaneous reduction in the number of slot-shaped openings extends from the top card 701 to the bottom card 712. Like Figs. 39 and 39a show, are in the rear edge areas of the tabs 701 to 712 slot-shaped recesses 701a, 702a, 703a, 704a, 705a, 706a, 707a, 708a, 709a, 710a, 711a and 712a provided.

Each tab 701 to 712 has a recess 701a to 712a on. In addition to a recess 701a to 712a, each tab is up to the lowest tab 712 with a number of slot-shaped openings provided, from the topmost tab 701 to tab 711 by each an opening are decreasing, so that ultimately the tab 712 no Has more opening, but only a single recess 712a, which from the recess 701a of the tab 701 up to and including the Opening in tab 711 extends.

About that in addition, each tab 701 to 712 has those letters that correspond to those Letters of the alphabet correspond to those on the one Dial button are attached to which the corresponding card is assigned. So is the tab 701 with the letters "A, B", the tab 702 with the letters "S, T, the Tab 703 with the letters "I, J, K", tab 704 mild letters "C, D", the tab 705 with the letters "SCH", the tab 706 with the letters "L, M", the tab 707 with the letters "E, F", the tab 708 with the letters "U, V", the tab 709 with the letters "N, O", the Tab 710 with the letters "G, H", tab 711 with the letters ", Z" and the tab 712 are provided with the letters "P, Q, R".

In addition, as shown in FIG. 28, tabs 701 to 712 all have in the center a slot-shaped opening 740 into which the driver cam 533 engages on the plate-shaped sliding shelf 531. This driver cam 533 also has a triangular shape, so that the drawer 8 to be extended Cards from the driver cam 533 can be detected and taken while the cards retained by the card retention pins 630 from the drive cam 533 cannot be carried away.

Instead of the locking and unlocking device described above other embodiments can also be used for the drawer 8, which will be discussed below in connection with FIG. 44.

40 to 43 show another embodiment of one with a Drawer 8 operating tab select and release device 20b, however the individual tabs are not selected using Schwenareen and on these trained card retention pins, but by means of the dial buttons. yourself that at the same time. take over the function of the card retention pins.

A tab selection and release device designed in this way 20b according to FIG. 40 consists of a housing 2 with a bottom guided on the housing, Drawer 8, open on the back, for receiving a register card stack 9 made up of tabs 801. The register cards 801 consist of resilient-elastic material; they are on their long sides, namely adjacent to the leading card face, with Driver punched 815 provided.

When pulling out the drawer 8 leading front pages of the tabs 801 have selection punchings 820, which are stepped from the the left and right sides of the card to the center of the tabs and according to the mutual grading for each tab below are dimensioned smaller. The reciprocal gradation is preferably designed in such a way that that the left stages of the first, third, fifth and seventh card and the right level are formed by the second, fourth and sixth card (Fig. 43).

The bottom of the out in the housing 2 drawer 8, which is below the action of a thrust spring 812 is with parallel longitudinal slots 803 for the passage of nose-shaped cams 805 attached to the housing base Mistake. These cams 805 are at a predetermined distance from the housing opening on, which is inclined with the inserted drawer 8 the length of a to the front wall corresponding to the sloping bottom part of the drawer 8 delimiting a depression 816, on each of its cheek-shaped longitudinal edges a driver 806 for engaging the Driver punchings 815 of the tabs 801 is arranged.

Selection keys reach into the selection punchings 820 of the register cards 801 807, which are combined in a keypad 6 and which on a bolt 810 for Closing the drawer 8 act. Each rectangular in plan Selector key 807 is under the pressure of a counter spring 813 and points to the narrow sides one shoulder 819 each, both of which cause the upward stroke caused by the spring 813 limit. Below the shoulders 819 is each dial button 807 with a bolt 808 which is adapted to the profiling of the selection punchings 820 of the register cards 801 is.

To close the drawer 8, the bolt 810 engages in a a longitudinal side wall of the drawer 8 provided recess 811, which the leading end wall of the drawer 8- is adjacent. To the latch 810 To be able to swivel out the recess 811 is in the movement path of the selection keys 807 one of these can be acted upon and transversely to their longitudinal direction control rail 809 that is tiltable around a lug 814 formed on the box-like housing 2 arranged. In the control rail 809 is on the opposite of the selection keys 807 Long side of the under the action of a spring 817 in the recess 811 of the drawer 8 pressed bolt 810 out, which is at the same time when pivoting out is supported on the control rail 809.

When this tab selector and release device is not in use 20b according to FIG. 40, the drawer 8 is held in the housing 2 by the bolt 810. The tabs 801 in the adjacent area of its end face having the selection punchings 820 slightly raised so that this area of tabs is below the dial pad 807 comes to rest (Fig. 41).

If a dial key 807 is now depressed by means of a finger, so the bolt 808 presses this key on the corresponding key in the cutout field of the selection punchings 820 of the tabs 801 and tab protruding bends this over the cams 805 with the possibly others under this tab tabs lying so far into the recess 816 of the drawer 8, that the driver 806 in the lateral driver cut-outs 815 of the tabs 801 intervene. At the same time, if the bolt 808 is depressed, the rest, in Housing remaining tabs held back in such a way that the bolt 808 by the larger selection punching over the selected Tab 801 lying tab or tabs reach through and in this way prevents this tab or the other tabs on it transported out due to the existing frictional forces when extending the drawer 8 will. A tab is then selected by transferring it selected tab with the respective subordinate tabs into a Level that corresponds to the level in which the tabs are inserted Position of the drawer 8 are, is lowered. The recess 816 in the drawer 8 need not be formed in the front of the drawer; it also exists the possibility of moving this recess to another area of the drawer, then again the selection keys 807 with correspondingly in the interior of the housing pivotally mounted swivel arms must be provided at their free ends have appropriately designed card retention pins, by means of which the same Function is then achieved when a dial button is pressed, as when pressing the Select key of the leaflet register described above.

With the further downward movement of the depressible selection key 807 this acts on the tiltable control rail 809. The one directed in the opposite direction to the key movement Lifting movement the control rail 809 causes the pivoting out of the latch 810, which is resiliently pressed down by means of the spring 817, from the catch 811 of the Drawer 8. The control bar 809 and the latch 810 are arranged so that a The drawer 8 is only unlocked when the selected tab 801 with any additional tabs below from the in the driver cut-outs 815.

On the other hand, this device is used as an add-on device.

In the same way as the tab selection and release facility 20 (Fig. 1) is provided with a number dialing device 30, so are the Tab selection shown in FIGS. 19 and 40 and described above and release devices 20a and 20b with a correspondingly designed number dialing device 30 provided. Tab selectors and releases 20, 20a and 20b form a structural unit with the number dialing device 30.

The device for storing and reproducing information, phone numbers, 45 subscriber addresses and the like consists of a housing with a box-shaped one Bottom part 1211, the bottom plate of which is designated by 1212 (Dig. 51). The box-shaped one Bottom part 1211 is provided with an upper cover plate 1214, which is in a front desk-shaped beveled portion 1214a passes.

In the housing 1002 is a leaflet register 1020 with selection devices for selecting individual tabs from a tab stack 1009 and an automatic number dialing device 1030 is arranged.

The leaflet register 1020 is designed as follows: In the housing cover plate A bowl-shaped recess 1213 is formed in 1214, which is used to receive the stack of tabs 1009 serves. This stack of tabs 1009 consists of a number of with tags provided sheets or cards. In the present embodiment, there are thirteen Cards provided, which according to FIGS. 54a and 54b with 1301, 1302,1303,1304,1305,1306,1307,1308,1309,1310,1311,1312,1313 are designated. The individual cards are front and back with lines to the Enter names, addresses, phone numbers and code numbers. The letters of the alphabet are also printed on the cards in such a way that that the card 1301 on its side facing the subsequent card 1302 bears the letter "A", while the subsequent cards 1303 to 1313 each have two letters, one of which is on the front of the card and the other letter is printed on the back of the card. Another arrangement the letter is also possible. Furthermore, the cards 1301-1313 instruct their longitudinal edges facing the rear of the housing 1002, selection punchings 1322,1323,1324,1325,1326,1327,1328,1329,1330,1331,1332,1333 to the following will be discussed in more detail. On the narrow sides adjacent to the long edges of the card, and approximately at the level of the selection bars 1322 to 1333, 1301 are in each card to 1313 slot-shaped recesses 1340, 1341 are provided for holding and Guide the cards in the housing 1002 (Fig. 49).

The bowl-shaped recess 1213 is closed by means of a cover 1215 closable, which is preferably button-shaped and with a circumferential Edge from the height of the entire stack of tabs 1009 is provided (Fig. 45). The cover 1215 is attached to the housing base plate 1212 by means of a pivot axis 1216 mounted pivotably in the direction of arrow X and with a section 1215 (Fig. 48) about the Pivot axis 1216 also extended. On the side of that Cover 1215 are curved guide rails 1217, 1218 formed, which are made of angle profiles exist, each with one of its two flanges in the recesses 1340,1341 of the Tabs 1301 to 1313 are listed. This is how the tabs are 1301 to 1313 held on the cover 1215 even during their pivoting movement (Fig. 45 and 49). The front of the bowl-shaped recess 1213 is in the form of a desk beveled portion 1214a of the housing cover plate 1214 selector and control lever 1220,1221,1222,1223,1224,1225,1226,1227,1228,1229, 1230,1231 and a locking lever 1232 arranged.

The selector lever 1220 to 1231 are used to transfer the selected Card in the viewing position, while with the lever 1232 the return of the folded up Lid 1215 is effected in the closed position.

Each selector lever 1220 to 1231 and also the locking lever 1232 are made from a two-armed lever 1240,1241,1242,1243,1244, 1245,1246,1247,1248,1249,1250,1251 and 1252. These two-armed levers 1240 to 1251 and 1252 are centered and Bearing journals 1235, 1236, formed on both sides of each lever, can be pivoted, the bearing journals in bearing points 1237, 1238 molded onto the base plate 1212 are held.

The two arms of each lever are connected to 1240a, 1240b, 1241a, 1241b, 1242a, 1242b, 1243a, 1243b, 1244a, 1244b, 1245a, I245b, 1246a, 1246b, 1247a, 1247b, 1248a, 1248b, 1249a, 1249b, 1250a, 1250b, 1251a, 1251b and 1252a, 1252b (Figs. 45, 46 and 47.) The lever arm ends 1240a to 1251a and 1252a of the levers 1240 to 1251 and 1252 have an approximately rectangular shape Keys 1220a, 1221a, 1222a, 1223a, 1224a, 1225a, 1226a, 1227a r 1228a, 1229a, 1230a and 1231a, which by in the chamfered portion 1214a of the housing cover plate 1214 formed openings are passed so far that the buttons 1220a through 1231a and 1232a with a portion from the tapered portion 1214 of FIG Housing cover plate 1214 protrude and can be pressed down by finger actuation.

The on the desk-shaped beveled section 1214a of the housing cover plate Dialing keys 1220a to 1231a arranged in 1214 are combined in a keypad 6 (Fig. 45).

In the area of the selection keys 1220a to 1231a and 1232a is on the base plate 1212 of the housing 1002, a foam body 1239 is arranged, which in the relaxed State holds the keys 1220a to 1231a and 1232a in a raised state, while the free ends of the lever arm 1240b to 1251b and 1252b on the base plate 1212 come to rest (Fig. 47). fird, on the other hand, one of the keys in the direction of the arrow X1 depressed (Fig. 47), the foam body 1239 is in the area of this key compressed and raised the other free end of the lever. When lifting the When the pressure exerted on the key, the foam body 1239 tends to become to move to its original starting state, which has the consequence that the Keys opposite to arrow direction X1 up in their original Starting position are moved. Instead of a foam body 1239 can also differently designed suitable spring elements are used.

The ends of the lever arms 1240b to 1251b of the selector levers 1220 to 1231 are as tongue-shaped sections 1240c, 1241c, 1242c, 1243c, 1244c, 1245c, 1246c, 1247c, 1248c, 1249c, 1250c, 1251c formed, which have a horizontally extending portion 1260 (Fig. 47), the one-sided in a sloping upward, angled end section passes, while at the other end of the horizontal section one in the direction angled guide surface running diagonally upwards towards the keys 1220a to 1231a 1261 follows (Figs. 46 and 47).

Each selector lever 1220 to 1231 are pivoted levers 1270,1271, 1272,1273,1274r1275,1276,1277,1278,1279,1280,1281 assigned with their guide surfaces 1260,1261 with the tongue-shaped sections 1240c to 1251c of the levers 1240 to 1251 cooperate. Each pivot lever 1270 up to 1281 consists of an approximately rectangular or square disk-shaped Molded body with an opening formed in one of its four corner areas 1285 for passing through the pivot axis 1216. Preferably on the pivot lever, namely on both sides, a pin-shaped bearing 1286,1287 molded, through which the pivot axis 1216 is passed and at the same time as a spacer are used when pivoting levers 1270 to 1281 are pushed onto pivot axis 1216 (Figures 50 and 51).

Because the bearing 1286, 1287 for receiving the pivot axis 1216 of each pivot lever 1270 to 1281 in one of the four corner areas of the pivot lever is provided, an eccentric mounting of the pivot levers 1270 to 1281 is on the pivot axis 1216 given. The four side edges of each pivot lever 1270 to 1281 are designated with 1288,1289,1290,1291. The side edges 1288,1289 stand at right angles to each other, in the area of which the opening 1285 for the pivot axis 1216 is provided. The side edge 1289 goes into a circular arc Section 1289a, to which the side edge 1290 adjoins, running at an angle and is guided in a circular arc to the free end of the side edge 1288, the circular arc-shaped section in an approximately parallel to the side edge 1289 Section 1291 passes over, which, however, is shorter than the side edge 1289. The area 1292 enclosed by the side edges 1288, 1289, 1290, 1291, in FIG. 50 Indicated by dashed lines, it can be designed as a solid wall or as an opening be.

In the latter case, the bearing eye with the opening 1285 is in the Connection area of the two molded body side edges 1288, 1289 formed on this.

The formation of the pivot lever 1270 to 1281 and the shape of the Guide surfaces 1289, 1290 are designed in such a way that when the cover 1215 (Fig. 52) the pivot lever surface 1290 on the ascending section 1261 to the Ends of the lever arms 1240b to 1251b come to rest. For example, if the Button 1220a depressed, then pivoted the selector lever 1220 around its central axis of rotation 1235,1236 such that the free end of the lever arm end 1240b is raised. The pivot lever 1270 rolls with its guide surface 1290 in the direction of its guide surface 1289 on the guide section 1261 at free end of the lever arm 1240b in such a way that the pivot lever 1270 on the pivot axis 1216 is rotated in the direction of arrow Y.

During this rotary movement of the pivot lever 1270, the pivot lever lies 1270 with its corner section 1288a on the inside of the cover 1215 and engages at the same time through the relevant selection punchings on those tabs through, which are below the tab to be selected, so that the pivot lever 1270 comes to rest on the card to be selected and this card with the one above it Stack of cards and the lid lifts and transferred to an approximately vertical position. In order to prevent the opened cover 1215 from automatically folding back, the lid 1215 has an open position that is at an angle to the plane of the Housing cover plate 1214 which is larger than 90C (Fig. 53). Furthermore effect the upwardly sloping angled end sections 1240c to 1251c holding the lid in a raised position.

However, the pivot levers 1270 to 1281 do not need the above Have described configuration. There is also the option of using the finger buttons as a selector lever with a button lever arm and a lifting finger via a toothing to form pivoting pressure lever arm. The selector lever engage then directly into the pivotable lifting fingers, while on the selector levers and the lifting fingers Toothed sections are arranged, except when the lifting fingers are pivoted down mutual engagement and only during the pivoting up of the lifting fingers in come mutual engagement, wherein the selector lever have lugs on the lifting fingers Press in the pivot direction and the pivoting movement until the interlocking Effect gear sections.

The functionality of the leaflet register described above 1020 is to be explained on the basis of the following statements: If the key 1224a is depressed, the lever 1244 assigned to this lever 1244 is used Pivoting lever 1274 is pivoted, the pivoting lever 1274 being through the cut-out punchings 1326 of the tabs lying in the recess 1213 of the base part cover plate 1214 - these are guided from bottom to top - 1313,1312,1311,1310,1309, 1308,1307 and 1306 is passed through and to the bottom of the tab 1305 to attachment comes as shown in FIG. The fact that the pivot lever 1274 after is pivoted at the top, the cover 1215 is opened, and at the same time the over The cards 1304, 1303, 1302, 1301 lying on the tab 1305 can also be folded up. When the button 1232a is depressed, the cam 1282 slides onto one of the free ones Inclined surface formed at the end of the lever 1242, indicated at 1283 (Fig. 46) and thus rotates around the pivot axis 1216 that he was on the section of the cover 1215 lying below the pivot axis 1216 on this is brought to bear, with the result that the cover 1215 in the direction of the arrow Y1 is pressed and in the locking position after crossing the vertical Lid position pivoted due to its own weight (Fig. 48) and at the same time subjected to a brake wedging by means of the section 1240c of the lever 1240 is.

In the interior of the housing 1002 is next to the leaflet register 1020 the device 30 which can be connected to or connected to a telephone set arranged for automatic dialing of stored phone numbers (Fig. 45). This dialing device 30 is designed in a manner known per se and comprises a telephone number memory unit 31 and number keys 37 and work keys 38 combined to form a keypad 36, wherein the keypads 6, 36 of the leaflet register 1020 and the number dialing device 30 in the housing, as shown in Fig. 45 and 55, lying next to each other or, 56, are arranged one above the other.

The keypad 36 of the number dialing device 30 includes the digits 1 to 9 and 0 carrying keys 37. About the number buttons 37 become when a corresponding work button is pressed, the individual Telephone numbers of the telephone subscribers entered into the telephone number memory unit 31 and can at any time by entering a short number or code number for the self-dialing process can be accessed. For this, too, one of the work buttons must then be pressed after by means of the numeric keys 37 the short number or code number is entered. the Work keys 38 include, for example, a so-called index key that is actuated if the short number resp.

Index number of the desired call partner is entered. as Another work key is a repetition key, which is actuated when after the automatic dialing process has been triggered, the "busy" sign is audible, for which the number dialing device 30 is connected to a loudspeaker 35. After pressing the repetition button, the selection process is repeated as often as necessary. until the connection to the desired subscriber is established.

In addition, a programming button is then provided as a work button, which must always be activated when numbers are stored in the number memory 31 should be saved. The loudspeaker can use a loudspeaker key 35, which is provided on the housing 1002, are turned on so that with the Telephone subscribers conducted calls over the loudspeaker when down Handset can be guided. With a further provided delete key, the Phone number that is not deleted more is needed. For different Operations can also have other work buttons that trigger special functions be provided. In addition, in the upper cover plate of the housing 1002 in the area the call number dialing device 30 can be provided with a luminous digit display by means of the dialing process can be checked. You can also use the Luminous number display shows the dialed number.

The fact that on the tabs of the leaflet register 1020 the Telephone subscriber with. their short numbers for automatic dialing are noted, a device is created that has a compact design and a leaflet register and an automatic dialing device connects so that on A large number of subscribers in the leaflet register in the smallest of spaces 1020 can be stored so that, as with the known telephone computers, required supplementary modules for the storage of further telephone numbers in connection with the names of the telephone subscribers are omitted. Since the capacity of the leaflet register in any case about the storage capacity of telephone numbers in the telephone number memory unit the telephone number dialing device, the leaflet register can also be used for writing down Not stored numbers are used, so that ultimately the overall device can be used for multiple purposes.

57 shows a keypad 1401 in which, by a dashed border delimited, a plurality of dial buttons is arranged, when pressed, a selection key from a stack of several tabs selected and made visible to the user.

Such a device is known and is therefore no longer shown in FIG shown.

In addition to the dialing keys 1402, there are number keys in a dashed border 1403 mounted in an arrangement such as that used by the German pushbutton telephones Federal Post is known. A button 1404 is arranged next to these buttons 1403, which is arranged a little larger for better visibility and with which the choice a telephone number is initiated into the post office line. Below the exchange key 1404 is arranged a delete key 1405, when it is actuated Digits can be deleted for the purpose of correction. Below the number key "7" a function key 1406 is attached, when pressed, a dial signal "Earth" is entered. A function key 1407 is located below the number key “9” attached, when activated a signal for a pause is inserted into the phone number will.

To the left of the dial keys 1402 are in one by the border 1408 unit shown arranged further function keys 1409 to 1417, whose Function will be described below. Above these function keys is arranged a display field 1418, in which the time with hours, minutes and seconds is displayed. If after dialing a phone number the participant has picked up and the conversation begins, a stopwatch starts to run and the Talk time can be continuously displayed in the clock field 1418. Also can the incoming charge unit pulses on the trunk line in the electronic Part totaled and, if necessary, multiplied by the price of a fee unit be converted into the relevant amount of money. This is above the clock field 1418 a switch 1419 is arranged, with the selected in different switch positions whether the call time or the number of charge units at the start of the call or the call price should be displayed continuously. This ongoing display remains when the call has ended and will be stopped before the next dialing, e.g. when Replace the handset of an assigned telephone set, deleted. The number of conversation units can also be recorded and / or by means of a printer to be connected a totalizing device can be added up continuously, e.g. over a whole month.

A display field 1420 is attached above the selection keys 1402, in which the entered digits and characters e.g. in an eight-digit, eight-segment display, are represented.

FIG. 58 shows the block diagram shown in FIG. 57 Parts a device according to the invention with associated electronic signal processing stages, the connecting line between the individual stages, if necessary, as a multiple line and designed for separate signal transmission in opposite directions is.

With such a device, one of each dial button 1402 assigned contacts a signal is fed to a line 1421, which corresponds to the first code digit assigned. As the signal from the dial button 1402 through the coupled mechanism may not be exact, it may be useful to put a To turn on pulse shaper 1422, which when a button 1402 is pressed, an exact Control signal supplies. This signal is via a combination stage 1423 a Input, processing and output unit 1424 fed to the further functional groups, such as exchange line dialer 1425, display device 1420, exchange line character analyzer 1426, Listening device 1427, charge pulse filter 1428, buttons 1404 to 1417, the Clock 1418 with switch 1419, a battery 1429 and a microprocessor 1430 as well if necessary, further stages are connected. About the processing unit 1424 the first code digit is displayed in the display unit 1420. Simultaneously is checked by means of the microprocessor 1430 and a memory unit 1431 whether there is still a memory space free, that of a second code digit to that of the key 1402 selected first code digit is equivalent to. The digit one free memory space is shown next to the first code digit with an additional mark, e.g. an underline or by rhythmic flashing. If that Display field 1420 is designed with only one digit, so only the representation of a single one Digit is initially allowed for a certain period of time, e.g. one second, the first code digit is displayed and then the second with the corresponding marking Code number. If there is no further storage space assigned to the first code digit is free, another marking, e.g. a horizontal line in the middle of the numeric keypad.

When a free second code number appears and in this memory a new phone number is to be entered, this number appears in the keypad 1403 pressed and thus confirmed. The code number is then completed and the mentioned marking, e.g. blinking, is omitted. The two code digits will be assembled in the combination stage 1423 and fed to the input unit 1424. In the combination stage 1423 there is preferably a lock such that the connection of the contacts of the other dialing keys 1402 to the processing unit 1424 is interrupted if a dial key has already been pressed. Through this the first code digit is prevented from being changed, e.g. when entering an address on a tab, accidentally another dial button 1402 is touched.

After another form of training, the combination level 1423 be designed in such a way that from a first register contact into the combination stage 1423 transmitted signal is corrected if after a dial key another dial key is pressed. If a participant cannot be found on a tab, can then easily click on another tab and the associated first tab Code number can be entered automatically.

If there is free memory by dialing the second code digit is selected, the memory preparation key 1409 is pressed, whereby in the display 1420, if necessary after the displayed code number, a corresponding one Note, e.g. a 11511 is displayed. Then you can use the number keys 1403 the required number must be entered. You can choose between parts of the Telephone numbers, e.g. the subscriber number, the area code and, if applicable, the country code, a pause can be inserted by pressing key 1407. Especially with Private branch exchanges may be required in connection with the desired Call number using the key 1407 to key in an earth connection as an auxiliary signal. The pause may appear as a gap or a capital "P" in display field 1420; for the earth key 1406 may represent the symbol "E". After entering the phone number the button 1410 is then actuated, and the storage process is thus completed.

When a stored number is visited and then automatically should be selected, the tab of the relevant participant is displayed first as described above when storing a phone number. The except The second code number of a free memory location that appears after the first code number or the symbol for occupied memory locations is then ignored and the Enter the second code digit of the desired subscriber using the numeric key 1403. The number sought is then transferred to a dialing memory 1432 and in addition, if necessary in individual digits or in groups of digits or one after the other shown continuously in the display device 1420. By pressing the exchange key 1404 is the telephone number from the dialing memory 1432 through the dialing unit 1425 Called up digit for digit and is sent to a terminal according to the impulses 1433 connected trunk.

If a call cannot be established, you can press a repeat key 1414 causes the desired number from the Dial memory 1432 automatically after a certain time, e.g. after three minutes is re-elected. It is also possible by pressing the save button 1409 and subsequent to the reserve key 1412 dead 1413 to cause the in the dial memory 1432 standing call number is transferred to a reserve memory in such a way that it at any later point in time by pressing the relevant Reserve key and the exchange key 1404 can be dialed directly. It is so possible to dial a busy subscriber again later and have another phone call in the meantime respectively. Whenever a call is repeated, the associated phone number is used each time displayed in facility 1420.

If a participant is to be dialed directly, you can use the number keys 1403 can be elected immediately. If consequently not a first code digit from the dial keys 1402 via the line 1421, is in the combination stage 1423 found that dialing is made without a code number and the result is that the Signals from the keyboard 1403 transferred directly to the memory 1432 and in the Facility 1420 are displayed. If the exchange key 1404 is pressed, occurs dialing via device 1425.

It can also be chosen without opening the register and a Map is made visible. For this, e.g. from memory, the first code digit is used entered by lightly touching the assigned dial button 1402 and then with a key 1403 the second code digit.

By pressing the exchange key 1404, the number dialed in this way goes via terminal 1433 to the exchange line.

An emergency telephone number can be stored in each of the buttons 1415 and 1416 which can then be accessed directly via the dialing device 1425 on the Trunk is transferred if only one of these two buttons has been pressed. The storage is carried out as described above for direct telephone dialing or direct dialing. has been described for the repeat keys: The call number is entered using the keys 1403 entered into the dialing memory 1432 with the display device 1420 connected. Then the memory buttons 1409 and the relevant emergency button 1415 or 1416 pressed. The content of the dial memory is thereby in one of the relevant Transfer assigned memory to emergency call button. Preferably at least one is the Emergency buttons 1415 or 1416, e.g.

for the police, by shape, color or the like. from the other function keys differentiated or particularly emphasized.

The exchange key 1404 can be provided with a mechanism for extending a Notepad or the like. which is then accessible instead of a tab and is available for taking notes from the telephone conversation. Advantageously the office key is designed in such a way that an electric Contact closed and dialing according to those written in the dialing memory 1425 Digits. With stronger pressure on the exchange key, dialing is on the one hand initiated and for this purpose the notepad or the like.

The display device and the further information processing stages are expedient in one technology, e.g. in semiconductor technology, with minimal power consumption and it is powered by a battery 1429 with a multi-year battery life Lifespan. An indication, e.g., by flashing the ones displayed in the device 1420 Digits, occurs when the battery is nearing the end of its useful life However, electrical parts of the device are still fully supplied and working. After that, the user is made aware in good time and he can in a next a new battery holder 1434 attached to the holder for the first battery 1429 Insert the battery and then remove the old one. So the device remains constant under tension and no written information is lost One under one Code number stored phone number can be deleted by pressing the associated dial key 1402 and associated numeric key 1403 and then the memory button 1409 is pressed. Then, as described above, a new one can be used Telephone number can be entered using the keypad 1403, followed by the key 1410 is pressed to terminate the storage process.

If key 1410 is pressed immediately after key 1409, then the relevant memory is completely erased.

With the help of an induction coil 1435 this can be done on the trunk existing signal can be picked up and fed to a listening device. The trunk signal is also fed to a character analyzer 1426 which determines whether the called Subscriber does not answer or whether he is busy. This information can then via the processing unit 1424 can be further evaluated.

A key switch (not shown) can also be attached to the unit 1424 can be connected through which the voting can be enabled or prevented. The key switch can also be switched so that it is released or it can be prevented whether new phone numbers are saved or deleted.

Both the keys of the keypad 6 and the keypads 36 are for operating the device to select a tab from a Stack of tabs and for making subscriber dialing by digits a phone number in an exchange line in telecommunications, in particular telephone systems, usable, i.e. this device can be operated via these selection keys on the keyboard 6 will.
