ABSTRACT:
The specfication and drawings disclose a combined telephone-lamp-speaker system for use in a restaurant having a telephone ordering system. An integral support structure is adapted to be supported on a table, or on a wall adjacent a table. Mounted on the support structure are a lamp enclosure, a telephone and a speaker. Telephone ring current detection means responds to telephone ring current to interrupt the lamp light to signal that the phone is being rung. The speaker is mounted wthin the lamp enclosure. Switching means permit the feeding of a telephone conversation into the audio amplifier which drives the speaker so that a telephone conversation can be played on the speaker. Additional disclosed features include a cable of sufficient length to extend via a hole in the table though a pedestal and past the pedestal's base to be plugged into the central cable system and then retracted beneath the base. Also disclosed is a lever-operated snap switch responsive to the telephone's ringer to interrupt the lamp light.
