ABSTRACT:
In conjunction with a hand-held, credit-card telephone for use aboard, for example, commerical aircraft, a telephone dispenser and credit-card unlatching mechanism ("CCUM"). The dispenser includes a dispenser channel of generally longitudinal stepwise construction. The dispenser also includes an outer cover affixed substantially over the dispenser channel and a face plate secured to a first end of the outer cover. A latch plate is secured to a second end of the dispenser channel, so that the dispenser channel, the outer cover, the face plate, and the latch plate, in cooperation, define a telephone-receiving cavity in which a hand-held telephone is secured when not in use. The face plate includes an opening providing access to the telephone-receiving cavity and a slot for the insertion of a credit card. The CCUM itself includes a latch plate secured to the dispenser channel. A latching mechanism is secured to the latch plate and is operated to selectively, in response to the insertion of a credit card into the slot, latch or unlatch the hand-held telephone from the telephone-receiving cavity. The hand-held telephone is withdrawn and replaced into the dispenser through the opening on the face plate.
