ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for terminating flat flexible telephone lines laid flat on the surface of a floor to be covered by flexible floor covering such as carpeting are disclosed, wherein a bracket having a peripheral flange and an opening surrounded on two sides by raised flanges and adapted to receive the telephone lines to be terminated is placed on the floor over the lines and is fastened to the floor. Female telephone connectors are mounted across the raised flanges over the opening, and the telephone lines are brought up through the opening and are connected thereto. A shallow temporary cover is mounted on the bracket to cover the opening, the telephone lines extending therethrough and the female telephone connectors but not the peripheral flange. The flexible floor covering is laid over the floor, the lines and the covered bracket. Thereafter, the floor covering is slit to expose the covered bracket, the temporary cover protecting the lines extending through the opening in the bracket and the telephone connectors, and the peripheral flange protecting the lines running to the bracket, against the slitting knife. When the installation is to be completed, the temporary cover is removed. Male telephone connector plugs with lines attached thereto are inserted in the telephone connectors and a housing is now fastened to the bracket to complete the installation.
