The disclosure is of facsimile apparatus having support means for holding a telephone handset during operation of the machine in receiving or transmitting a message. This means comprises a seat of rubber on which the handset rests, and, in addition, a ring of smooth material on which the handset slides as it is brought into engagement with the support means and as it is slipped into its operating position with respect to the support means. The apparatus also includes a novel, spring support arrangement for the handset support.

Acoustic coupler assembly

A facsimile machine includes a cylinder for supporting a paper which is to receive a message or which carries a message to be transmitted by telephone lines to a remote location. The machine includes a read-write assembly which is mounted for movement back and forth across the paper-carrying cylinder. The read-write assembly includes a light assembly for directing light onto a printed document, a stylus for printing electrostatic charge on a blank sheet of paper, and a relatively simple mechanical apparatus for switching the machine from the read status to the write status.

Facsimile machine

The disclosure is of a facsimile machine having a carrier for a sheet of paper, the carrier comprising a cylinder having a longitudinal band secured thereto by springs so that the band is normally pulled downwardly onto the surface of the cylinder. A sheet of paper is rolled about the cylinder, with one end of the sheet of paper held securely between the band and the cylinder. The cylinder is mounted on a machine frame which includes a cover plate which is pivotally mounted over the paper-holding cylinder. The cover is provided with a finger which serves no purpose when the cover is closed, but, when the cover is opened, the finger engages a bracket which itself engages the longitudinal band to lift it from the surface of the cylinder to permit a sheet of paper to be inserted or removed.
