ABSTRACT:
A decorative telephone housing in the form of a rectangular, hollow shell having top and side walls and open at the bottom, the shell partially enclosing an elongated bar pivoted at one end within the shell and extending across the interior with its free end protruding through an opening in a side wall of the shell, and a cradle for a handset fixed to the free end of the bar outside of the shell. When the shell is secured to the base of a telephone instrument, the bar rests on the switch actuating member within the shell, so that rocking movements of the bar, engendered by lifting the handset from and subsequently returning the handset to the cradle, cause the actuating member to switch the instrument to on and off condition.
