TL;DR: In this article, a jack assembly for termination of a plurality of telephone wires includes a housing defining an opening for receiving a standard telephone plug, and a contact pin carrier is mounted to the housing and supports eight contact pins having insulation displacement portions.
Abstract: A jack assembly for termination of a plurality of telephone wires includes a housing defining an opening for receiving a standard telephone plug. A contact pin carrier is mounted to the housing and supports eight contact pins having insulation displacement portions. The contact pin carrier further includes a contact protection block formed around the insulation displacement portions of the eight contact pins. A termination cap has telephone wire engagement portions that secure the telephone wires in conductive engagement with the insulation displacement portions of the contact pins. The termination cap further includes two end walls, each disposed in opposed alignment with a respective side wall of the contact protection block. The side walls of the termination cap may be interlocked to the contact protection block to retain the termination cap in an assembled position.

TL;DR: In this paper, a network termination module consisting of a base structure having a means for grounding is described, and an intermediate structure which contains a telephone jack and also a pair of line terminals for connection to telephone company wiring.
Abstract: This invention discloses a network termination module comprising a base structure having a means for grounding. Mounted on the base structure is an intermediate structure which contains a telephone jack and also a pair of line terminals for connection to telephone company wiring. A terminal strip is mounted above the intermediate structure, the terminal strip containing subscriber terminals for connection to a subscriber's wiring. Mounted above the terminal strip is an openable cover containing a telephone plug which mates with the telephone jack. The line terminals are electrically connected to the telephone jack. There is a protector element disposed in the base structure which is electrically connected to the means for grounding.

TL;DR: In this article, a variety of unique adapters for use with modular plug telephones are described, which permit multiple handsets or multiple telephones or any combination of both to be connected with a single telephone wall jack.
Abstract: The invention comprises a variety of unique adapters for use with modular plug telephones. The adapters permit multiple handsets or multiple telephones or any combination of both to be connected with a single telephone wall jack. The adapters comprise multiple jacks and plugs with suitable electric connections therein to provide the combination of telephones and handsets desired. In one embodiment the adapter combines multiple modular telephone plugs and jacks with a jack for the old style four prong telephone plug and an indicator light connection. In another embodiment a jack is provided for the connection of a tape recorder or other electronic equipment.

TL;DR: A modular telecommunication jack adapter has a front part formed by at least one standard modular telephone jack and a rear part defined by a standard modular plug as discussed by the authors, and the front and rear parts are connected by a coupling member which defines a rearward extension of the modular jack.
Abstract: A modular telecommunication jack adapter has a front part formed by at least one standard modular telephone jack and a rear part defined by a standard modular telephone plug. The front and rear parts are connected by a coupling member which defines a rearward extension of the modular jack. A plurality of resilient unitary spring wire conductors disposed within the adapter extend between the front part and the rear part and have forward end portions which define an in-line array of moveable contacts supported in cantilever position and parallel relation within the jack. The rear end portions of the resilient wire conductors are softened by annealing to receive an in-line array of spade contacts which terminate the conductors at the rear end of the plug. One or more of the conductors may be formed with a crossover formed within the connecting member.

TL;DR: In this article, a modular telephone plug (110) having an elongated dielectric housing (112) and a clip member (123, 284) attached that is adapted to fit into a standard RJ-type jack is presented.
Abstract: A modular telephone plug (110) having an elongated dielectric housing (112) and a clip member (123, 284) attached that is adapted to fit into a standard RJ-type jack. More specifically, one end (114) of the modular plug (110) defines an electrical connector section to which wires from a telephone cord (120) can be attached. For this purpose, the housing (112) includes an internal channel (143) through which the telephone cord (120) can extend. The clip member (123, 284) is secured in a cantilevered manner at an end (116) of the housing (112) remote from the electric connector section. The housing (112) is also formed with a recess (220) into which extends a free end (276, 313, 380) of the clip member (123, 284). The modular plug (110) has an associated length of 1.1 to 1.5 inches (approximately 2.8 to 3.8 cm). With this construction, the modular telephone plug (110) can be easily grasped and manipulated.
