Wall phone adapter with removable filter modular units
First Claim
1. A wall phone adapter for interconnection between a wall jack mounted on a wall mounting plate and a wall telephone set, comprising:
- a cover housing formed of a front wall member, a top wall member, a bottom wall member and confronting sidewall members;
said top wall member, said bottom wall member, and said confronting sidewall members being formed integrally with said front wall member and extending rearwardly therefrom so as to define a cavity for receiving snappingly a removable filter modular unit;
said removable filter modular unit having an impedance blocking filter circuit mounted therein;
a filtered modular adapter telephone jack mounted in a central portion of said front wall member of said cover housing for receiving a first modular plug connected to a telephone set;
a first filter modular line jack formed on one side of said removable filter modular unit;
a second filter modular phone jack formed on another side of said removable filter modular unit for receiving a second modular plug connected to an answering machine or Fax machine;
a third filter DSL pass-through jack formed also on said another side of said removable filter modular unit for receiving a third modular plug connected to DSL or HPN equipment devices;
a movable line cord having a modular phone plug connected to its one end for insertion into a wall phone jack on a wall phone mounting plate and having a modular filter input plug connected to its other end for insertion into said first filter modular line jack; and
electrical wiring connections operatively coupled between said filter input plug and said adapter telephone jack.

Abstract
A wall phone adapter is provided which accommodates a variety of removable filter modular units for interconnection between incoming telephone lines connected to a wall mounting plate and subscriber'"'"'s network termination equipment. The wall phone adapter includes a cover housing for receiving snappingly a removable filter modular unit. The removable filter modular unit has an impedance blocking filter circuit mounted thereon. The wall phone adapter further includes upper and lower slidable latches so as to facilitate connections to studs formed on the wall mounting plate which has either a standard studs-spacing or a closer studs-spacing.
