Abstract
An improved telephone jack comprises an insertion entrance having two corresponding sockets arranged along the upper inner wall thereof and two corresponding brackets constructed at locations in opposite directions of the sockets. Each of the two brackets is composed of a check seat located at the upper end portion thereof. The insertion entrance further comprises two retaining portions located at the lower front end thereof to keep the telephone plug in a fixed position. The telephone jack further comprises a cable terminal body, which encloses therein a plurality of cables and comprises two check wings located at the front end thereof. When check wings are received fittingly in the sockets of the insertion entrance, the rear end portion of the cable terminal body is also accommodated properly on the check seats of the brackets so as to position securely the cable terminal body in place. The construction of the telephone jack is, therefore, significantly simplified and miniaturized by virtue of its lack of square seat body and receiving room which are integral parts of the conventional telephone jack of prior art.
