Abstract A telephone-line dedicating apparatus which is connected between an external telephone-line and a specified telephone-line utilization apparatus such as a telephone-set, facsimile machine or the like and which upon energization causes one or more other telephone-line utilization apparatus to be unable to function connected to said external telephone-line is disclosed. Specially, when said specified telephone-line utilization apparatus is a facsimile machine, any influence on said facsimile machine which is in use, due to noises from the other equipments connected to the same external telephone-line can be prevented. The telephone-line dedicating apparatus comprises: impedance insertion means for inserting impedance means across said external telephone-line to decrease the telephone-line DC voltage level, in response to the operative condition of said specified telephone-line utilization apparatus; and operating-current path setting means including a DC power supply and establishing an operating-current path from said DC power supply to said specified telephone-line utilization apparatus through said impedance means when said impedance means has been inserted across said external telephonel-ine.

A telephone-line dedicating apparatus which is connected between an external telephone-line and a specified telephone-line utilization apparatus such as a telephone-set, facsimile machine or the like and which upon energization causes one or more other telephone-line utilization apparatus to be unable to function connected to said external telephonel-ine, comprising: impedance insertion means for inserting impedance means across said external telephone-line to decrease the telephone-line DC voltage level, in response to the operative condition of said specified telephone-line utilization apparatus; and operating-current path setting means including a DC power supply and establishing an operating-current path from said DC power supply to said specified telephone-line utilization apparatus through said impedance means when said impedance means has been inserted across said external telephone-line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
72 words
The telephone-line dedicating apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said impedance means comprises an inductor which has a sufficiently low DC resistance value to reduce the DC voltage level on said external telephone-line to be unable to operate said other telephone-line utilization apparatus connected to said external telephone-line and has a sufficiently high impedance value to enable the usual operation of said specified telephone-line utilization apparatus with respect to speech/frequency response.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
The telephone-line dedicating apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said impedance insertion means includes relay means which is adapted to be energized when said specified telephone-line utilization apparatus is conditioned to be operated, and following the energization of said relay means said impedance means is inserted across said external telephone-line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
86 words
The telephone-line dedication apparatus as claimed in claim 3 wherein said impedance insertion means includes switch means for causing, when operated, said relay means to be energized after said specified telephone-line utilization apparatus is conditioned to be operated, and said operating-current setting means causes a series circuit to be established, which comprises said DC power supply, said impedance means which has been inserted across said external telephone-line by the energization of said relay means and said specified telephone-line utilization which has been conditioned to be operated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
The telephone-line dedication apparatus as claimed in claim 4 wherein said switch means is a push switch for temporary on-operation, and further comprising means for self-holding the energization of said relay in response to the establishment of said series circuit.
